Non-stop for 25 laps, McCune’s victory is made even sweeter as it was just over a month ago that he was cleared by doctors to return to competition following an on track incident in May that left him with second and third-degree burns on his legs and ankles.
Coming through the field from sixth, South Dakota’s Ned Powers crossed second with Zac Taylor posting a third place finish in his first attempt with the Brodix ASCS Frontier Region.
David Hoiness fourth was trailed by Logan Forler to make the top-five. Rich Martin was sixth with Colorado’s Patrick Bourke in tow. Mindy McCord, Chauncey Filler, and Ben Holmberg completed the top-ten.
The Brodix ASCS Frontier Region returns to Sweetwater Speedway on Saturday, August 19.
