Another First Time WRL Winner

SpeedKiller2403 dominated and won the GoBowling.com 200 at Pocono Raceway, it was only his second WRL Start and he was by far the car to beat.

"I didn't really have much for him about the middle of the run" said rolltide424, "my car just didn't want to turn about that time and it just let him pull away, plus he had everyone covered on fuel mileage as well."

it is the second win for Ford this season and both have been first time winners.  LMR DarthMario won at Daytona and SpeedKiller at Pocono.

"I think Ford may have a shot at the Manufacturers title this season." Said league owner Windcharger8199 who finished third after stoping for a splash of fuel coming to take the white flag. "It all depends on the drivers driving the Chevrolets is they show up or not.  Two Chevys were meant to start the race but only one did, luckly for them the one that didn't start still got points."

Next week is the great equalizer of Watkins Glen International and the Cheez-it 175K at the Glen.  xixBUSTERxix is the defending winner of that race and it was the third of four wins in a row in 2011.  But Road Racing Expert LMR DarthMario may have something to bring to the table as he holds a slim points lead over xixBUSTERxix.  It will be a race to watch, and hopefully one with very little cautions.
