(CANANDAIGUA, NY) – A perfect summer day turned even better come nightfall for high point man Jordan Hutton as the Hannibal hotshoe continued his dominance Saturday night at Land Of Legends Raceway, capturing round two of the DisBatch Brewing Company Challenge in the A-Verdi Storage Containers CRSA Series powered by SuperGen Products for MighTea Boba 305 Sprint Cars.
“That kid is going to be fast once he gets more wheel time and some more experience under his belt,” remarked Hutton, after inheriting the lead when rookie Dillon Paddock clipped a uke tire with just two laps left and cruising home to the lucrative $1,000 victory.
A record car count of 30 winged machines filled the pits yet in the end that didn't seem to change much in the final outcome. Hutton's second straight win at LOLR gives him five checkered flags in seven starts and including a triumph in the tour opener at the same Ontario Co. Fairgrounds oval in May, the talented teen now has three CRSA victories and six top-five tallies in the seven A-Mains held.
Veteran Steve Glover jumped out early from his pole-position start before fifth-starting Paddock chased him down to take first on lap eight. Filing in 12th on the 26-car grid aboard his familiar no. 66 Tom's Auto-Big Awesome BBQ-JB Farms & Logging Eagle, Hutton moved into eighth after a pair of early cautions for Adam DePuy and Ethan Gray shuffled the line-up with just two laps complete.
While Paddock maintained a commanding lead, high-flying Hutton was picking off cars just as fast using the open outside lane. At the halfway mark of the headline 20-lapper, Paddock and Glover remained up front with Blake Warner and Hutton battling for third ahead of reigning CRSA points king Dalton Herrick. Hutton continued his methodical run as the laps clicked off, grabbing third on lap 11 before disposing of Glover the next time around leaving only Paddock on his radar.
Creeping ever closer in traffic during the closing stages, Paddock suddenly rapped the uke tire low rounding turns one and two, breaking his front-end to open the door wide for Hutton on lap 19. The restart was anti-climactic for Hutton as he charged ahead by nearly a half straightaway with Glover settling for second ahead of Herrick, Warner and Tyler Chartrand.
“If he would've kept going high in turns one and two probably wouldn't have even been a race,” figured Hutton, the '21 LOLR Rookie of the Year now with six career CRSA wins, after another frustrating finish for Paddock who crossed the line first at Canandaigua on May 27 before failing the customary post-race weight inspection.
“I was getting a wicked dig off (turn) two, it was just working good all night. My philosophy when I race things around here is keep it straight and keep it in the tacky. No point going right through the slick when there's something brown up top. Can't thank enough everybody that helps out, great support all around,” Hutton added.
The races Powdertech Powdercoating Hard Charger of the race and an additional $25 went to Hutton who passed eleven cars to get the victory. Hutton had to start twelfth by virtue of his victory at Utica-Rome Speedway on July 14. Hutton will now see that same start fate on Saturday at Fonda Speedway- another track where he boasts multiple wins.
Blake Warner took home an extra $25 as he earned the Maguire Cars “Magnificent Move of the Race” for a career-best run of fourth in the event.
