Erika Jones was holding onto the 4th spot
Jean Lovely was only a few seconds behind Erika and was applying the pressure in an attempt to make the pass as Jennifer Albright was also looking for her opportunity to get around Jean as these three women battle for position.
Before the end of the lap, both Jean and Jennifer would go on to pass Erika with Jennifer also making her move on Jean and taking over the 4th spot
By the end of the 2nd lap, amazingly the top three women (Traci, Stephanie, Angel) remained in a tight group with Traci in the lead as she gets some encouragement from her husband Rick.
Stephanie and Angel swapped positions once again for Stephanie taking over the 2nd Spot as she roost her way through a turn chasing after Traci’s dust cloud.
By the 3rd lap, Angel Atwell would once again make her way around Stephanie and move back into the 2nd spot behind Traci Cecco who remained in the lead.
Jean Lovely continued her battle with Jennifer for the 4th spot as she was able to capitalize on a mistake by Jennifer and move back up to 4th place but over 8 minutes behind the top three.
With less than one mile to go, Traci passed by in the lead and would go on to win her 2nd race of the year.
The battle for the 2nd spot between Stephanie Parton and Angel Atwell was intense the entire race with them swapping positions several times through the race for one of the most exciting races in GNCC women’s race that I have ever seen as these incredible racers stayed together the entire race.
Stephanie Parton was able to hold onto the 2nd spot at the finish with Angel Atwell right behind her as she proved that she now has the speed to hang with the Traci and Stephanie which will make for some exciting racing to watch as the points chase draws tight for these three women.
The women’s class battle wasn’t just with the front runners as Jennifer Albright once again was able to pass Jean Lovely to take 4th place with Jean Lovely finishing in 5th.
Stefanie Verkade also made a last minute pass on Erica Jones to take the 6th spot with Erika finishing only 2 seconds behind her in 7th.
