Bobby continued his winning ways Sunday night, capturing the $20,000 Minot Mayhem at Nodak (ND) Speedway for his fifth consecutive World of Outlaws Late Model Series victory.
Starting from the outside of the front row, Bobby wasted no time taking command of the 50-lap feature.
Using a strong run around the top of turns one and two on the opening lap, Bobby dove to the bottom going down the backstretch and briefly made it three-wide for the lead before sliding from the bottom groove to the cushion in turn four to complete an impressive opening-lap pass for the top spot.
Once out front, Bobby quickly established himself as the driver to beat.
By lap five, he had stretched his advantage to more than one second before the first caution slowed the field. Another yellow on lap 13 interrupted his growing lead of two seconds, and a third caution on lap 19 came after Bobby had again opened a lead of more than two seconds.
Each restart brought the field back together, but Bobby consistently pulled away.
By lap 26, his lead had grown to more than 3.3 seconds as he continued to set the pace around the high-banked oval.
Before the race could reach its scheduled distance, rain moved into the area and forced officials to call the event complete after 38 laps, giving Bobby the victory in the rain-shortened feature.
The triumph marked Bobby’s 15th World of Outlaws victory of the season in just 34 series starts and his fifth consecutive win with the tour.
The victory also continued one of the hottest stretches of Bobby’s career, as he has now won nine of his last 10 starts and reached the 20-win mark overall in just 54 races this season.
