Plymouth, IN (June 12, 2006) – Mishawaka, Indiana native JR Roahrig ended a long winless streak by winning the Braun Auto Group 100 CRA Super Series non-points event at Plymouth Speedway on Sunday night. It was Roahrig’s third overall win with the CRA Super Series, but his first in almost four years, his last series win came on August 8^th, 2002 at Baer Field Speedway.

"It’s about time we got back in victory lane," remarked Roahrig. "It’s been awhile since we’ve been here, I was beginning to wonder when I would get another win. It’s great to win one at Plymouth, I’ve raced here a lot, and it’s in my back yard!"

Roahrig took full advantage of his outside front row starting position. Pole sitter Jack Landis and Roahrig took the green flag side by side and stayed that way until the end of the backstretch when Roahrig used the outside to take the lead over Landis. Landis chased Roahrig through out the event, mounting several charges, but was never able to complete the pass. Landis tried both a high line and a low line, but had to settle for second.

Current Illiana Motor Speedway late model point’s leader Mike White finished in third, his inverted starting position, after setting a new track record in winning the Appleton Rack & Pinion Fast Qualifier Award. White was one of five drivers that broke the previous record for the CRA Super Series at Plymouth Speedway. White made some great runs to catch Landis and challenge for second place several times during the event.

Former Illiana Late Model Champion John Nutley finished in fourth with current CRA Super Series points leader Scott Hantz in fifth, the two battled through out the last portion of the event for the fourth position. The fifth place finish was the worse for Hantz in the five series events that have been held at Plymouth Speedway. Hantz had three previous wins and a second place finish. Jeff Cannon finished in sixth, Nick Baran in seventh, Bret Sontag in eighth, Chris Weinkauf in ninth with Jack Kalwasinski in tenth.

Two-time CRA Super Series champion and hometown hero Brian Ross battled in the top five through out the early portion of the event, but his night ended on lap 85 after a spin in turn two resulted in contact and suspension damage to the right front of his car. Ross teamed up with legendary crew chief and car owner Bill Rievley for Sunday’s event.

Bret Sontag was the Lane Automotive/ISKY Racing Cams Hard Charger Award winner coming from 19^th to finish in eighth after making repairs to the racecar after breaking an axle in qualifying. Tyler Roahrig, son of JR Roahrig, was the Marvel Mystery Oil Mechanic Of The Race Award Winner. John Nutley was the winner of the Sweet Manufacturing Sweet Move Of The Race Award for making some great passes coming from his ninth place starting position to finish fourth.

The next CRA Super Series event will be the Wastequip/Galbreath 100 Presented By Fatheadz at Indianapolis Raceway Park on Saturday, June 17^th. More information is available here.
