Brooklyn, MI -- The CASCOR SuperCup Series returned to action at the Michigan International Speedway on April 2nd, 2012. Wesley Hoag and Julian Madore made up the front row and led the field down to the green flag.
Madore took the lead in turn one, lap 1 before the caution flew for a spinning Robert Hill in turn 1. Two more cautions would fly with a long 49 lap green flag run in the middle of the race setup a thirteen lap shootout for the win to end the race.
Mike Husby and Wesley Hoag led the field back to the restart. Hoag got a good restart taking the lead in turn 1. Husby managed to take the lead back with 8 laps to go. But Hoag would take it back the next lap, Matt Riley would also attempt to take the lead in turn 1 that same lap but came up short.
Husby and Riley duked it out behind race leader Hoag but in doing so lost too much time to Hoag as Hoag won the race at the flag.
Afterwards some drivers protested the victory due to connection issues with the #38 car of Hoag, and as a result the win was given to Matt Riley for his first ever SuperCup Series win. Mike Husby finishes 2nd, Andrew Hayes 3rd, Julian Madore 4th and Wesley Hoag rounded out the top 5, being placed the last car on the lead lap. Bertus De Jong and Robert Hill rounded out the finishing order in 6th and 7th place respectively.
Next time the SuperCup Series hits the track will be at Watkins Glen International Raceway for the running of the Budweiser @ The Glen. Stay tuned to find out what happened @ The Glen.
