The new track was built as a replacement for the former Mesa Marin Raceway that was demolished after the 2005 racing season. In the race itself Greg Pursley leads the most laps on the way to scoring the inaugural victory. With the East series done for the year Gray Gaulding crosses over and wins his first West series pole. Jason Fensler makes his 2013 season debut and finishes in top-10. 2.

Great race and another win for Greg Pursley but it's probably too late for winning the championship once again this year. Derek Thorn realize a 14th top10 in as many races ! 4. numbah10hatah posted: 10.27.2013 - 12:32 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) I thought Brian Ickler was on the entry list for this race... 5. nascar_vd posted: 10.27.2013 - 1:24 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Yes Brian Ickler was on the preliminary entry list with NTS Motorsports (#29 Chevrolet owned by Bob Newberry). But they did not ultimately participated ... It is a pity ... 6.

Thankfully somebody stepped up and made sure the track got finished. 7.

Pro Series must be really be sticklers about it. They do it to bring the drivers to the fans, to help promote the up and coming drivers. 8.
