SPARTA, Ky. — Paul Hahn steered the No. 7 Hahn’s Powder Coating Chevrolet to victory Saturday afternoon at Kentucky Speedway, earning his 16th-career ARCA Lincoln Welders Truck Series triumph.
After following race leader Rob Jones for much of the way, the former series champion slipped under Jones for the lead on lap 59 and led the final 41 circuits in an event run on the quarter-mile oval.
“We actually got lucky on this one,” said Hahn “We were losing power the entire race. The motor was hot and I had to run the fan. It finally lost all power at the finish. We just made it. All the guys did a real good job out there. Rob (Jones) slipped up high and I was able to get underneath him.”
Jones finished second, with Steve Christman third. Polesitter Nick Gullatta and Norm Weaver rounded out the top five.
The finish:
Paul Hahn, Rob Jones, Steve Christman, Nick Gullatta, Norm Weaver, Robbin Slaughter, Mike Young, Ashley Hawkins, Ron Wells, Duane Bischoff, Mark Otting, Kenny Kirsch, Jr., Paul Vander Hoff, Michael Risely, Bill Withers, Frank Wilson, Jr., Tim Schafer.
