01 August 2023
Pretty Good Racing League | Season 5 | Round 10
Premier Series | Richmond Raceway

In a dazzling display of skill and determination, Scott Eckrich from Loud Pedal Motorsports secured an incredible 5th victory of the season at Richmond Raceway in the highly competitive Pretty Good Racing League presented by Route 66 Paint and Wallpaper.

Isaiah Dupre set the stage by starting on the pole and showcasing his prowess in the early stages of the race, leading the pack for the first 23 laps. However, the battle for the lead intensified as Mike Rasimas made his move, overtaking Dupre to claim the top spot.

A pivotal moment in the race came on lap 73 when a caution disrupted the ongoing pit cycle, catching many drivers in an unfavorable position. With half of the field stuck a lap down, the green flag waved again on lap 78, and Eckrich, who started from 15th, found himself in the lead.

With the final round of pit stops completed, Eckrich faced a challenge as he trailed Woody Mahan, who held the lead. However, with the advantage of fresher tires, Eckrich executed a brilliant maneuver, swiftly reclaiming the lead and pulling away from the competition with impressive speed and precision.

As the laps counted down, Eckrich maintained his hold on the lead, leaving his rivals behind and soaring to victory, taking the checkered flag in commanding fashion.

Despite the intense competition and strategic challenges on the track, Michael Chrobok continued to hold onto the points lead, demonstrating his consistent performance throughout the season, currently 30 points ahead of his closest contender, Jeff Ward.

The Pretty Good Racing League continues to deliver heart-pounding action, and with Michigan International Speedway up next on August 8th, racing enthusiasts can look forward to another thrilling round. Congratulations to Scott Eckrich on his remarkable triumph at Richmond Raceway, and the excitement for the upcoming races is sure to be sky-high!
