TRACY, Calif. — Brian McLish tamed a strong USAC Western States sprint-car field for his second victory of 2008 Saturday at Altamont Motorsports Park.
McLish took the lead on lap 12 of the 50-lap feature, using the high groove to get to the front. Midway through the race, Tanner Swanson and rookie Porter Smith made their way to the front to challenge McLish. Swanson made a strong outside charge that was thwarted by lapped traffic.
Smith worked his way to second and was followed to the line by Swanson, Eric Humphries and Scott Pierovich.
The finish:
Brian McLish, Porter Smith, Tanner Swanson, Eric Humphries, Scott Pierovich, JoJo Helberg, Tony Hunt, Tim Skolund, Paul Zimmerly, Snake Livernash, John Sarale, Brian Geiszler, Robert Beck, Shauna Hogg, Nick Rescino, Jr.
