VINCENTOWN, N.J. (June 5, 2023) - Sometimes, avoiding trouble creates the best scenery for progress, and for Vincentown, New Jersey’s Justin Whittall, the path to his progress at the Port Royal Speedway “Speed Palace” on Saturday night was exactly that method, ultimately battling ahead from 15th on the A-Main grid to finish third. The podium outcome was Whittall’s top performance of the season thus far, inching closer and closer to securing his first victory of the year.
A wild main event effort, Whittall, ace of the JG Kronenberger Fine Jewelry, Mid-Atlantic Transport, Pioneer Auto Body, Worldwide Bearings, Enterprise, Prime Composite Innovations, K Seal, No. 67 sprint car, opened Saturday’s feature by barely escaping contact during an early race red flag incident, next avoiding contact by those battling just ahead of him for the third and fourth positions. Whittall was racing in the fifth spot at the time, sneaking by Steve Buckwalter, who was involved in the aforementioned incident, to secure fourth with 14 circuits remaining.
Whittall inherited third with a short distance to go, as reigning track champion, Logan Wagner, suffered from mechanical failure while hunting for another Port Royal victory.
“Sometimes, that’s what it takes,” Whittall said. “Things can happen quickly, especially at a high speed place like Port Royal Speedway, so having the ability to stay clear of mishaps can be a huge benefit.
“Our first win of the season is coming soon,” Whittall added. “This team deserves it.”
