Watkins Glen, NY -- The CASCOR SuperCup Series went road racing on April 16th, 2012. Last year the SuperCup Series raced at the Hutchinson Island Street Course, but this year the race was moved to Watkins Glen later in the season.
Mike Husby won the pole position and Julian Madore started alongside as they led the field down to the green flag.
The race was plagued by cautions with the final run to the finish coming with 5 laps to go.
Mike Husby led Johnny Williams, Julian Madore, Aaron Levin and Andrew Hayes the top 5, back to the green flag. Johnny Williams would make a move inside of Mike Husby in turn one to take the lead. Williams would hold on to the lead with 4 laps to go as the caution flew for the final time of the night.
Williams and the rest of the leaders raced back to the flag and the unthinkable happened. Williams would get loose in the up hill esses losing his momentum as Husby and Madore were able to get by Williams and duked it out for the win in the final corners.
Madore tried everything he could to get by Husby but once again became the bridesmaid. Husby held on to win his first ever road race in the SuperCup Series. Johnny Williams battled back to finish 2nd, Julian Madore went off track in the second to last corner and fell to 3rd, Pete Engelmanas came home 4th and David Damboise rounded out the top 5. Will Goshen brought his car home 6th in his first race back, Aaron Levin finished 7th, Andrew Hayes 8th, Ron Simo 9th and Robert Hill rounded out the top 10.
Next time the SuperCup Series hits the track will be at the Darlington Raceway. Stay tuned to see what happened.
