The 50 lap
ProCup Expo race saw 10 cars take the green. 16 year old Megan Reitenour
started on the pole, by way of inversion, and quickly checked out on the
field for the first 10 laps. 15 year old Ryan Miller, in the Lonnie Rush
prepared car, was the Pole Winner and started 4th based on the
inversion. Miller tracked Reitenour down and passed her on lap 15.
However, two laps later, the roles reversed and Reitenour regained the
lead. She continued to lead until lap 41 when she spun while attempting
to hold off the hard charging Miller. That set up a 9 lap dash for the
finish. Miller was hounded by Nascar National Champion, Dexter Canipe Sr.
and Larry Wilcox. The two raced door to door behind Miller. At the
finish, Miller picked up his first win followed by Wilcox, Canipe, and
Reitenour. It was one of the best races of the year at Tri-County and
showcased the potential of this new and exciting series.
