Bobby led the first six laps from the pole but had to charge back to the front after pitting to change a flat tire on the seventh circuit. “When that happened, I guess I had flashbacks to the Prairie Dirt Classic—going to the tail and coming back to the front,” Bobby said. “I was just trying to get back to a podium spot, a good finish.”
“Then, when we got rolling and reached second, catching Devin (Moran), and I caught him, I knew I had a really, really good car to be able to do that.” He regained command on lap 36 and stayed in control for the rest of the 50-lap distance to pick up the $30,000 XR Super Series-sanctioned Mason-Dixon 100 on Saturday night at Pennsboro (WV) Speedway.
“The cautions came at the right time,” Bobby said. “But we had everything against us—the flat tire early on, a little scare there for a second, all the restarts, and that caution at the very end.”
