Leaders have begun to emerge as the season points races heated up on the quarter-mile “Thunder Ring” in Week 3 of Thursday Thunder at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Following week three action, a trio of divisions are separated by five or fewer points.
Will Robusto of Fort Mill, SC earned his second win of the season and now sits atop the Bandits division with a three point lead in the standings after three weeks of action. In a caution free race, Robusto slid underneath D.J. Canipe at the line on lap 16 to take the lead.
“I just thought he was going to keep going and I wasn’t going to catch him,” said Robusto. “Then when he started getting loose, I started catching him.”
Canipe challenged for the lead but could not find a lane around Robusto over the final four laps. Clay Thompson finished third.
A green-white-checkered finish in the Allred Family Dentistry Semi-Pro/Young Lions division saw a pair of lead changes that included a crossover move by Taylor Jorgensen to slip past William Martin for the win as the pair raced to the stripe. Jorgensen started on the pole and led all but one lap en route to the victory despite half a dozen cautions throughout the race.
Martin’s second place finish helped him move into the division points lead. Jeff Holden had a challenging night as he entered Week 3 action as the division points leader but slipped back to fifth in the standings with a 10th place finish in the feature.
Scott Moseley moved up three spots in the Masters division points race with his first feature victory of the season. Moseley began the race on the point and held off Bill Plemons, Jr. and Robbie Woodall for the win. A pair of cautions opened the door for both Plemons and Woodall, but neither driver could make the outside lane work on the restart as they fell back in line behind Moseley each time. Tina Johnson finished fourth, with Mark Swain in fifth. The two now share the top spot in the Masters division through three races.
Ashton Higgins added to his lead in the points standing in the Xtreme Fun on Wheels Outlaw division with his second trip to victory lane this season. Connor Younginer challenged for the lead on a restart following a caution midway through the race and led for a lap before Higgins regained the lead on the subsequent lap and held on for the win. Ricky Springer finished third.
Ryan Younginer earned the win in the Beginner Bandolero feature for his first career Thursday Thunder victory. Younginer used lap-traffic to pass Wilder Etheredge on the backstretch along with Noah Dominy to capture the win.
Thursday Thunder continues June 25, featuring Beginner Bandits, Bandits, and Xtreme Fun on Wheels Outlaw divisions for the Badolero racers and the Allred Family Dentistry Semi-Pro/Young Lions and Masters/Pro divisions for the Legends cars.
