Elkhart Lake, WI, United States (AHN Sports) – Reed Sorenson may not currently be running fulltime in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series but he’s certainly making a name for himself in the Nationwide Series.
Sorenson, the series points leader, beat out road-course specialists Ron Fellows and Jacques Villeneuve to win Saturday’s Bucyrus 200.
It may have taken Sorenson the maximum three green-white-checkered attempts to win the scheduled 50-lap race on Road America’s 4.048-mile road course.
Soreneson won the race under caution following an event with tons of pushing, grinding and shoving.
Justin Allgaier was the hard-luck finisher of the day, taking the white flag on the seventh and final caution before running out of gas and being unable to finish the race.
Sorenson was running second behind Allgaier at the time, thus crowning him the race winner ahead of Fellows and Villeneuve.
“I got caught up on the restart by a rule (stay in lane until you pass the start-finish line) I should have known. I moved before the start-finish. I won’t do that one again,” Villeneuve said. “Then, a little bit aggressive on one of the restarts; the track narrows before turn one and I just ran out of road, put the wheels in the grass, played bowling there, took the two cars out and made a few people unhappy.”
NASCAR officials determined Fellows had moved ahead of Sorenson after the yellow was thrown, giving the win to Sorenson.
Elliott Sadler and Mike Wallace rounded out the top five.
