"I knew (Draik's) strategy was to go out
there and try to lead and take the gap at
the beginning," Alex Dumas said at the end
of race two. "The start was really impor-
tant. I knew I had to get a good start and
just lead the whole race. That's what I kind
of did. Draik passed me in turn three, and
I followed him for a lap and managed to
pass him and just kept on ge ng a gap on
Michael and Draik to the end."
Rocco Landers (97)
suffered a mechanical
DNF in race one but
stormed to a dominant
race-two win.
