From Kelly HartAlger, WA — (July 26, 2013) — Night one of the Bob’s Burgers and Brew Summer Nationals ended just like the final night of the 2012 version of the show with 3-time defending champ Travis Jacobson standing on top of the podium. Jacobson chased down Justin Youngquist on a late race restart and took away the lead for the win. Kelsey Carpenter led the first 15 laps before having a right rear tire go flat, with Youngquist passing for the lead. Running low, Youngquist had the field covered until the late race yellow closed the field. On the restart Jacobson went high, Youngquist low with the two battling for a few laps before the pass for the lead.
Shane Stewart ended the night as point leader followed by Travis Rilat. Jacobson is third with Colton Heath fourth, Sam Hafertepe, Jr. is fifth and Trey Starks sixth. Stewart was fast time at 11.630 and the five heat race wins went to Jayme Barnes, Rilat, Hafertepe, Carpenter and Heath. Mack Brown won the C main and the B main went to Jared Peterson.
In the companion races, Freddie Vela won a time shortend Outlaw Tuner main event and CJ Putnam won the Dwarf Car main.
