A WIN at Riverside

In another signature race performance - stay out of trouble, be there at the end, be fast at the end, and then grab vital spots (including the top one) - Johnny took the win at the very tight, quarter-mile Riverside Speedway in Groveton, NH.

Timing-trialing second with a 12.367 to Cassius Clark's fast time of 12.320, Johnny drew an end position for the Dash and finished seventh.

At the start pole sitter Mike Rowe and Travis Benjamin began their battle with each other and with lapped cars. A lapped car on the bottom makes it difficult for a leader to get around on the high side at Riverside. Johnny moved on up from 7th to 6th on lap 2, to 5th on lap 27, and to 4th on lap 65. Benjamin took the lead from Rowe on lap 96 while negotiating a lapped car. Coming upon another lapped, Rowe brushed Banjamin spinning him out along the back stretch. Both cars went to the back of the pack and Johnny was up to second spot.

Benjamin then began dropping some rear end grease. Coming out of four, Johnny saw the gray swath on the track and pulled down, but leader Ben Rowe did not, sweeping wide in turn one and almost out of the ballpark.

So Johnny had the lead on lap 145 with a recovering Mike Rowe on his tail. One called-back restart and one successful restart later, Johnny was under the checkers with Mike .311 seconds back.
