"It's not the way I want to win,
but the race was awesome,"
Vossberg said after race two. "I
just wanted to push it from the
beginning. I knew the track was
a little sketchy, but it was dry

eight on the pit board. So, I knew
I could kind of sit behind Bodie
and plan out an attack for the
last lap. I just kind of sit in the
draft, not wanting to push it and
risk a mistake. I was able to sit
in the draft and pass him on the
last lap. It sucks with the red flag
and everything coming out. But
it was a great way to win."

was difficult with the mixed

were definitely comfortable right

chaotic. The last lap was just
unfortunate, but that's racing,
and that's the rules. It sucks, and
