Widelitz Dominates Enroute to Martinsville Victory

Husby Still Undefeated @ Las Vegas!

Las Vegas, NV -- The CASCOR The High Line Truck Series returned to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway last Tuesday night. In the past two races held at Las Vegas Motor Speedway (including SuperCup) driver/owner Mike Husby has been the only face in victory lane. Would we see this trend continue? Or could someone else make it to victory lane in Sin City?

Mike Husby was able to take the pole position with a lap of 30.612 as Brent Sweet started alongside just 3 hundredths of a second off the pole time.

The race would go flag to flag with six lead changes between four drivers (Mike Husby, Julian Madore, Wayne Osborne and Brent Sweet). Brent Sweet would try to stay out as long as he could late in the race to make it all the way on fuel and tires, but would come up a few laps short as Husby took the lead back with 18 laps to go and went on to win the Smiths 100 for the second time.

Julian Madore finishes 2nd, Wayne Osborne 3rd, Andrew Hayes 4th and Ben Althen rounded out the top 5. Brent Sweet ended up 6th, Curtis James 7th, Bertus De Jong 8th and Austin LaPlante rounded out the finishing order in 9th.
