Bobby led flag-to-flag from the pole as he cruised to his third Wild West Shootout victory in four starts on Saturday night at Vado (NM) Speedway Park. At one point in the 40-lap race, he built up an advantage of over seven seconds.
“I was happy in the lapped traffic; I felt like I was getting through them well,” Bobby said. “It took a little rubber where the left-rear tire was hitting over there in (turn) one, so it started making me tight. I know it probably didn’t look like it, but it made it a little nerve-wracking in the car on the restarts. Ya know, just wanting to gain a healthy lead again … that was a little nerve-wracking, just trying to hit my marks on the restarts, get a big gap again, and kinda cruise from there.”
