Duncan Captures Atomic Speedway Win
In the Pine Tree Towing 410 Sprint cars, Todd Kane, Delaware, Ohio claimed his heat in the Charlie Brown #99 and was looking for his first 2014 feature win. The veteran took the lead over Stuart Brubaker and led the first 20 circuits, pulling away to a straight-away lead by the 10th circuit and lapping much of the field up to 13th.
Brubaker ran a fast, steady second, but fell victim to Cole Duncan on the 13th circuit. Jimmy Stinson, Aaron Higgins, Taylor Ferns, and Josh Davis all jockeyed for a top five. Some of the best battles of the night came from this group, while Kane's lead started to diminish.
Kane was straight and fast, but as the track locked down with rubber, the 99 displayed some tire smoke at the apex of the turns. Duncan, meanwhile, was on a rail. His ISPC/Motor City Maxim with Gressman power started to reel in the fading Kane. On the 19th circuit Duncan tried Kane, but Kane closed the door, then one lap later, the second generation driver dove low under Kane and made it stick, then held off Kane's charges to the finish.
"The track was excellent tonight and racy all the way around," said Duncan. "We had several of our sponsors here tonight and we are glad to bring home the win for them. Todd and I go way back. He was fast tonight, but we were able to be in the right places at the right times."
Rounding out the top ten behind Duncan were Kane, Stuart Brubaker, Jimmy Stinson, Aaron Higgins, Taylor Ferns, Josh Davis, Ryan Broughton, Brandy Bower, and Tyler Courtney. The Hummel -Factory Kahne Racing Shock 'Hard Charger' was Duncan with a 7th to first place run, while Brandy Bower had a 14th to 9th place run. Davis went from 11th to 7th in a good run.
