This marks the first Rising Star race after a rule change allowing Cup Winners to race up to 6 races a year in the series. Burnout was the first driver to take advantage of this new rule which we had been discussing leading up to the race and decided to implement after only a small field showed up.

Lap Leaders First 10:
GR8 Arjen, Charter, Lanz
Halfway Bonus:
Burnout
- Burnout get's the halfway bonus because of the clear jump on him at the restart before.. I will just treat it as if the caution was a lap longer.
- Awesome race to the checkers between Charter and Popo.. only 0.002 separated them at the line
- Burnout takes full advantage of being the first cup winner in the Rising Star series and wins the first road course race of the year! Lanz and Popo both fueled their cars too light, Lanz ran out with 2 laps to go whereas Popo gambled and only just made it across the finish line.. After running in the back all day, Charetr and Domo managed to take podium positions.. great for both their championship assaults.
