Zach Blurton Covers the Field at Colorado Motor Sports Park
The United Rebel Sprint Series rolled into the Colorado Motor Sports Park for a Colorado Region point’s battle Saturday night with nine teams making the pull to Byers. Current point’s leader Austin Mclean went into the event with a slim six point lead over second place Zach Blurton and was looking to add to his lead. But when the night ended it was Zach Blurton who came away with the win.
Todd Plemons led the field to the green flag and grabbed the lead with Justin Medlock, Mark Walinder, Luke Lucero and Zach Blurton rounding out the top five after lap one. Walinder made quick work of Medlock and took the runner up position on lap two. Mark Chisholm worked his way past Luke Lucero on lap three to take over that spot.
Up front Plemons continued to hold the point with the battle for second heated up between Mark Walinder and Zach Blurton. Blurton made his way past the cagey veteran on lap number five and set his sights on the leader. Behind the front duo Walinder was soon joined by fourth running Medlock. Medlock made the pass for the third spot stick on lap eleven.
Plemons continued to hold the lead as Blurton reeled him in finally taking the point on lap twelve for good. The top five spots stayed the same for the next four laps but soon Plemons was being pressured for the runner up spot by Justin Medlock. Medlock made the pass for position as the white flag flew relegating Plemons to the third spot.
When the checkers fell it was Zach Blurton picking up his fifth win of the 2016 URSS Season with Justin Medlock, Todd Plemons, Mark Walinder and Mark Chisholm rounding out the top five. Austin Mclean suffered a broken rear end in his heat race and could not made repairs to start the Feature race.
Just a reminder of a change in the schedule, the next action at CMSP has been moved to Saturday October 8th as the URSS Colorado region will wrap up the 2016 URRS season.
