Unlimited 2 Round 7 From LOORRS Lake Elsinore Motorsports Complex

The final race of the night would be Unlimited 2, and with the crowd amped up after three great races in a row, the boys of Unlimited 2 had no choice but to finish off the night in style. Dale Dondel jumped out to an early lead in his Racer Engineering Chevrolet, followed by Jeff Wards #3X Speed Technologies/Bully Dog Chevrolet, Rodrigo Ampudia in the #36 Tecate/Lucas Oil Ford, Carl Renezeder in the #17 General Tires/Lucas Oil Ford, and LOORRS newcomer Todd LeDuc in the #8 Rockstar/Makita Ford. A roll by Greg Adler brought out a full course caution, and after the restart, LeDuc moved past Renezeder to take fourth. Jerry Whelchel then brought out another full course caution with a heavy crash on the front straightaway, and when action resumed again, it was still Dondel out front, with LeDuc now second, Renezeder third, and Ampudia and Ward in fourth and fifth after the two of them had tangled and dropped back a little bit. On the restart lap after Whelchels crash, Renezeder moved to second and Ward took over fourth. Dondel then went wide in turn five, allowing Renezeder to take the lead. Ampudia re-took fourth, and as the competition yellow came out, it was Renezeder, Dondel, LeDuc, Ampudia, and Ward in the top five. After the green flag came back out, Dondel slowly fell backwards through the field, and it was now looking like LeDuc had a chance to try and match his brother Kyles win in Unlimited 4 from just two races earlier. LeDucs chance came in the final turn of the last lap, as a blown right rear tire on Renezeders truck gave LeDuc the opportunity he needed. Renezeder slid wide, and LeDuc just drove smoothly by, and cruised home to take a win that Renezeder must have thought would be his. Renezeder had to settle for second, ahead of Ampudia, Ward, and Bryce Menzies, who drove his #7 Super Clean Ford to fifth after starting on the back row.
