π FAST FRIDAY PLAYOFFS β ROUND 1 RECAP π
The first week of the Sunoco Drive for the Cup Playoffs couldnβt have finished any better! ππ₯
The Richie Helger Racing #42 started 8th in the 25-lap feature. Of the four playoff drivers, he was starting second-to-last after laying down a faster qualifying time than the others.
And this race was definitely not without excitement!
Mason was fast, smooth and patient, working the top groove and waiting for exactly the right opportunity to make his move. As the laps wound down, he put himself in position to strike β and with just TWO TURNS LEFT on the FINAL LAP, Mason made the move for the lead and took over P1! ππ₯
From an 8th-place start to a LAST-LAP PASS FOR THE WIN β what a way to kick off the playoffs! π
A huge thank you to Rich Helger, Kyle Casper, our entire crew, sponsors, family, friends and everyone who continues to support us! We couldnβt ask for a better start to the championship chase!
One playoff race downβ¦ three to go! ππ
