Brooks Rocks at Richmond!


Richmond, VA -- Brent Sweet started on the pole for the second time in two weeks and led the field to the green in the Chevy Rock & Roll 150. Jordan Robson led the majority of the first part of the race, but the lead would swap several times under caution between, Mike Husby, Pete Engelmanas and Bertus De Jong. With about 12 laps to go after a late race restart Pete Engelmanas made a daring move to pass Mike Husby for the lead and drifted up the track. Pushing Husby into the wall causing him to fall from first to seventh. While this was taking place Justin Brooks was in perfect position to take over the lead. He passed Pete Engelmanas down the back straightaway and took over the lead in turn 3. He held off the rest of the field and took his first win in his second start in the NASRA Cup Series. Pete Engelmanas gained 5 points on Mike Husby at Richmond and is looking for more at North Carolina. What will happen next week? Will the points be shaken up again? We'll see what happens at the Rock!
