Erik Jones took the lead from Ross Kenseth with 48 laps to go, and went on to score the ARCA/CRA Super Series Super Late Model victory in Tuesday’s Battle at Berlin 251 at Berlin Raceway in Marne, MI.
Jones, a regular on the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, overcame a crash in practice on Monday to take a backup car to the $10,000 payday.
“These guys worked so hard,” Jones said after the win. “We brought a brand new car here for practice on Monday and wrecked pretty hard. We just KO’d it. These guys at Port City went and put another car together late last night. It’s amazing, man
“They worked so hard and I wanted to win for them so bad. They really deserved it. It’s been a while since we’ve won this year. We’ve led a lot of laps and have had fast trucks and cars, but it’s been about a month and a half of disappointment and hardship. This turned everything around and it feels great.”
Dalton Armstrong and Travis Braden brought the 31-car field to the green, with moving to the early lead. Dawsonville, GA’s Chase Elliott, who started fourth, climbed his way to second and stalked Armstrong for several laps early on. On lap 29, the defending NASCAR Xfinity Series champion drove around Armstrong to take the top spot.
Three cautions slowed the pace between laps 38-79 and during the green flag periods, Chad Finley had worked his way up to the second spot. On the ensuing restart working on lap 80, Finley got around Elliott to take over the top spot only to see Elliott recoil and reclaim the lead on lap 98. A lengthy green flag run was slowed by a caution on lap 159 which saw all of the lead lap cars make their first pit stops of the race for two tires and fuel.
Elliott came out first and was trailed by Jones and Kenseth. Another caution right after the restart would see most of the leaders head back down pit road for two more tires. Kenseth and Lauren Bush were the only two drivers that stayed out, giving the lead to Kenseth.
A multi-car incident on lap 185 gathered up several contenders, including Bubba Pollard, Christopher Bell, Braden, Finley, and several others. The race was halted under the red flag to allow for clean up.
Kenseth maintained the lead on what would be the final restart, but now had Jones, who missed the pileup, on his back bumper. Jones worked on Kenseth for several laps and they battled side by side before Jones put himself in the lead for good on lap 205.
From there, Jones went on to score the victory, with Chris Koslek in second, John Hunter Nemechek in third, Elliott in fourth and Kenseth in fifth.
The ARCA/CRA Super Series returns to action on Saturday, June 27 for the second annual Bud St. Amant Memorial 125 at Columbus Motor Speedway in Columbus, OH.
