P. 7
The final A-Main of the year looked almost the same as the penultimate round a month before, as Matthew McCoy once again paced the field with a single driver in tow. Lat month it was Evan Lawrence, dutifully playing the pusher as the pair gapped the field to an eventual P2 and overall title. This time it would be Donnie Clarke, a driver making his final career start in the series, and looking to better his second place from a year ago in this event. Like Lawrence, the experience Clarke pushed McCoy into the later stages of the race, but just like last round, McCoy would play a perfect defense, scoring his second win in a row, and 4th of his career. For his part, the aforementioned Evan Lawrence worked his way up from 12th to claim the final podium spot over John Rice in the end; the former matching the single season record for podiums in a season, and the latter claiming the second spot in the championship, with Michael Martin finishing out the year 3rd overall. Elsewhere, Connor Hicks put up the strongest run of any SE driver this season, finishing P6 in the Main, but coming up just short of Frank Chen in the championship...
