second. With 2 laps to go Greg would make the move on Boyd, kicking off a battle royal for the final two laps the grew the battle from the top 4 on the penultimate lap, to more than seven on the white flag lap. Pelaez would first fend off Paul Wagner, and then Small, then Boyd before claiming his second Main event win in a row...
The round #9 A-Main would host a pair of storylines; of course who would bring home the win on the Classico CCW layout, but also, whether or not point leader Evan Lawrence would be able to sew things up early. James Lieser would lead the field away at the green, but it would be Lawrence crossing the line first at the end of lap one, bringing Matthew McCoy along with him to bump Lieser one more spot down. From there Lawrence committed to being the pusher, and slowly but surely the pair pulled away from Lieser, making it a two horse race. Knowing what was on the line, Evan stayed patient, and waited until the very end to make his moves, moves that McCoy was able to defend, claiming his third career win, but first of the season. Lieser, for his part, would hold on to the third spot to score his first podium since the season opener in 2019, which coincidentally was on the same track. For Lawrence, not only was he able to clinch the 2021 Sprint Series title, he would lock up the Summer Sub-Championship as well, claiming all three championships on offer for the season...
The next event for the CalSpeed Sprint Series will be the season Finale on October 16th, which is already sold out, and will take to the Tecnico layout. The final two spots on the podium are still not set in stone, and the Sport Experience title has yet to be decided, never mind the end-of-season bragging rights up for grabs....
