( ONE Motorsports ) rebounded from having his Saturday podium result stripped to a secondplace finish , owed entirely to a daring pass from Jason Plotke ( Crown with Apex ).
Jenks scraped third after contact with Miller into the sixth turn , while tying for the lead . In fact , Jenks earned the fastest lap of the race on his final tour as he made a run at Derzie , but finished just . 250 in arrears of the second-place finisher .
Danny Dyszelski ( WISKO Racing ) looked set to extend his point lead in the Pro 1500 ranks , finishing 1.5 seconds ahead of Nick Persing ( Radical Northwest ) when the checkers came out . The pair had an amazing battle that saw Persing rebound after a first lap mishap to take the class lead .
A dual with Dyszelski then ensued , resulting in the WISKO driver attempting a pass into the sixth turn . In a post-race review , the pass was found to be incomplete as the pair entered the yellow sector because of Jenk ’ s spin , and Dyszelski was handed a post-race drive-through , relegating him to sixth position .
