Sean Hingorani made it two in a row in 51FIFTY Jr. Late victory lane, topping 14 drivers ages 10-16 years old in the 70-lap feature. Loomis’ Kenna Mitchell drew the pole position while Hingorani advanced from third on the grid to take second from Quincy, Wash.’s Kasey Kleyn.
Hingorani challenged Mitchell by lap eight for the top spot. Colorado’s Brody Moore had an incident on lap 13 that relegated him to the back of the field. On the restart, Hingorani used the outside to drive into the lead on Mitchell. Mitchell stayed in tow for several laps before Hingorani had the lead in hand on lap 19.
Monty Tipton went up in smoke in turn four to bring out the yellow flag on lap 29, then Jody Moen of Idaho spun on the ensuing restart. Moore and points leader Robbie Kennealy of Madera battled hard for fifth approaching the lap 40 break. Hingorani led Mitchell, Nascimento, Kleyn, and Kennealy at the lap 40 stoppage for adjustments and MAVTV interviews.
Mitchell suffered on the restart on the outside, being overhauled by Nascimento and facing a challenge from Kleyn. Mitchell drove around the outside of Kleyn in turn two to keep the third spot on lap 45. Hingorani led the rest of the way over Nascimento, Mitchell, Kleyn, and Kennealy at the finish.
