Sunday Unlimited Open Race Highlights from Speedworld

Kent Braschos #8 R&L Carriers Chevy and Travis Coynes #5 Team Associated/Pro Comp Ford sat on the front row for the Unlimited 4 race after a four row inversion. Joining the thundering beasts of this division for the final race of the day were the Unlimited 2 trucks of BJ Baldwin, Robby Woods, and Jesse Jones. In the opening laps, Coyne spun and fell well back, while the #71 K&N Chevy of Alan Pflueger bumped hard with Brascho, forcing Brascho to significantly slow, and eventually stop. Pflueger then assumed the lead ahead of the #1 Lucas Oil/General Tires Ford of Carl Renezeder, and these two had an epic battle for the lead that lasted some 6-8 laps until the competition yellow. Try as he might, Renezeder hadnt quite been able to get by Pflueger, who was doing a great job keeping Renezeder at bay, especially when one remembers that Renezeders win in yesterdays Unlimited 4 race was the 80th of his career! After the restart, though, Renezeder proved to be too strong, and got by Pflueger on the inside of turn two. Renezeder then pulled away and went on to take the win, moving straight past his milestone 80th win and on to his 81st. Pflueger himself made big strides, taking second with a big margin over third place Coyne. Fourth went to the #76 of Jones, whose Toyo Tires Chevy was the best of the Unlimited 2s, while BJ Baldwin looked to have improved this weekend as he took fifth in his General Tires/R&L Carriers Chevy.
