Thirkettle Notches Winter Showdown Win
Travis Thirkettle dominated the Spears Modified Series “Cox Petroleum 60” by jumping to the lead from the outside front row on lap 1 holding off Sam Jacks and then championship leader Jaron Giannini to score the $2,000 victory. Giannini came home second after battling back and forth with Sam Jacks after multiple restarts. Jacks ended up third with Jimmy Sloan finishing fourth after battling as high as third. Willian Guevara battled to a fifth-place finish after starting fifth, dropping deep into the field, and then battling back into the top-five. Kyle Jacks finished sixth after running in the top-four. A smoking issue sent him to the rear late in the event, but he came back to just miss the top-five.
Earlier, Jaron Giannini set the PFC Brakes Zero Drag Fast Time Award and won his Heat Race to sit on the Pole. Travis Thirkettle won his Heat Race to start on the outside of the front row.
