SCOTT HITCHENS ROLLS IN AC DELCO SPORTSMAN QUALIFIER
The AC Delco PSC 602 Sportsman competed in a 20-lap Fall Championship qualifier. Danny Smack looked strong from the drop of the green and paced the field as Jason Rush worked his way by Matt Smith for second. Scott Hitchens was on his way to the front after starting in tenth and was up to third just prior to halfway.
The first caution came at halfway and on the restart Rush went to work on Smack taking the lead two laps later. Hitchens followed into second and flat footed it into turn three on the outside to take the lead with five to go. Hitchens opened a slight lead but it was enough to hold off Rush for the win. Smith finished in the third spot with Jordn Justice coming from deep in the field to finish in fourth and Joe Tracy recovered from a mid-race tangle to finish in fifth. Heats were won by Hitchens and Trey Hicks.
AC Delco PSC 602 Sportsman Finish: 1. Scott Hitchens; 2. Jason Rush; 3. Matt Smith; 4. Jordn Justice; 5. Joe Tracy; 6. Danny Smack; 7. Ryan Riddle; 8. Trey Hicks; 9. Brandon Dennis; 10. Adam White; 11. Nick Alberti; 12. Robert Riley III; 13. Jeff Marker; 14. David Jenkins; 15. Dwayne Crockett.
