After struggling with the setup on preliminary night Friday, and qualifying mid-pack Saturday, Bobby rebounded during the 75-lap Illini 100 main event as he rallied from his 16th starting position to get on the podium with a third place finish. He patiently worked his way to the front, trying different lanes, until he started to get rolling on the top as he cracked the top five by lap 50. He ran as high as second, but fell to third late. “How the weekend started, I feel like we did a complete 180, because we were way out in left field,” Bobby said. “I’m pretty happy with a third place.” — Josh James Photo
