Peoria, AZ — (October 24, 2015) — Mike Spencer rebounded from a wild ride one night earlier to finish off Canyon Speedway Park’s 15th Annual Sands Chevrolet Hall of Fame Classic with a drive to victory lane in Saturday night’s 30-lap USAC/CRA Sprint Car main event.
While Spencer reclaimed the USAC/CRA Sprint Car points lead with his second triumph of the season, Chris McCurdy, Jr., put a stop to the Matt Martinez run of domination in Pure Stock action with Dustin Cormany taking Micro Sprint honors.
Pelkey led the USAC/CRA Sprint Car feature in the early rounds before Friday night winner Damion Gardner took command on the eighth round as Spencer worked toward the front in the familiar Chaffin-owned No. 50 Sprint Car from the seventh starting position.
Spencer ultimately wrestled the lead away from USAC Southwest Sprint Car points leader R.J. Johnson in the final handful of laps to snare the victory. Johnson settled for runner-up honors with Brody Roa, Joshua Hodges and Mike Martin rounding out the top five.
