ACCORD, N.Y. — Drew Heistand’s recent struggles ended with the ARDC’s return to Accord Speedway, the series’s first appearance there since 1986.
Heistand dashed from his fifth-starting spot to the lead soon after the race went green. From there, the remaining battle was left for second place and eventually won by P.J. Gargiulo, who charged from ninth to pressure Brett Arndt for most of the race.
Arndt settled for third ahead of Nick Wean, who finished fourth after starting 15th, and Steve Lenig in fifth.
The finish:
Drew Heistand, P.J. Gargiulo, Brett Arndt, Nick Wean, Steve Lenig, Donnie Trent, Randy Monroe, Stephanie Stevens, Steve Craig, Shane Penny, Tracy Readinger, Jimmy Commock, Chris Zrinski, Tommy Tomasko, Fred Schell, Tony Montesi, Scott Zipp, Scott Viets, Ryan Smith, Justin Grosz, Bethany Viets, A.J. Ernesto, Carey Becker, Bruce Buckwalter, Frank Polimeda, Andy Martin.
