Bryan Hulbert – GREENVILLE, Texas (February 20, 2022) Wrapping up Round 2 of the 2022 Lucas Oil National Open Wheel 600 Series presented by Hi-Plains Building Division season-opening weekend at Superbowl Speedway, a field of 96 entries took on the quarter-mile oval with Frank Flud, Chase Brewer, and Jett Nunley rolling into Victory Lane.
Former winner with a wing on, Waxahachie’s Chase Brewer added his name to the Non-Wing ranks on Sunday afternoon. Leading start to finish, the No. 3c was pressured through the closing laps by the hard-charging Frank Flud.
Winner on Saturday night, Flud had to advance through a B-Feature before charging ahead 13 positions. Glued to the back bumper of the No. 3c on the final lap, Brewer was perfect to the checkered flag. Flud in second was followed by Anton Hernandez, with Ryder Laplante and Brady Ross making up the top five.
Making in win No. 58 in A-Class competition, Frank Flud chased Austin Saunders from the start of the 20-lap feature event. Trailing by no more than a half-second at any given time, Flud began ramping up the pressure as the race hit the halfway point. Down to car lengths at times, the move for the lead came on Lap 15.
Room to run the bottom off the second turn, Flud launched past Saunders mid-way down the back straightaway. Pulling away instantly, Flud was 1.912-seconds ahead at the checkered flag. Saunders held on for second with Johnny Boland in third. Keegan Osantowski and Madelyn Gjerness completed the top five.
Rolling to the lead on the start from the right of the front row, Oklahoma’s Jett Nunley went unchallenged through the Restricted A-Feature for his fourth career Lucas Oil NOW600 Series victory.
Lapping up to 11th before the caution waved on Lap 15, the restart had Jaxton Wiggs keeping pace for a moment but would have to settle for another runner-up finish. Carson Bolden crossed third, followed by Scout Spraggins and Brody Brown to complete the top five.
The next event for the Lucas Oil National Open Wheel 600 Series presented by Hi-Plains Building Division will be Saturday, February 26, and Sunday, February 27 at Red Dirt Raceway in Meeker, Okla.
