NE EDT Racing Round 2 - Ironclad Kinston, North Carolina April 30, 2016

The RATH Racing Pro-lite class saw a new name on the top of the podium for round two. Hailing from North Carolina, Damian King is an up-and-coming young racer and proved he has the speed to get on the top of the box and took the win at Kinston. MAXXIS / Houser Racing / FLY Racing’s King came off the line and snagged the holeshot and continued on his mission of winning the class by staying out front and remaining mistake free.

King was able to do just that and brought home his first-ever Pro-lite win of his career along with a nice holeshot award from Quadified Racing Engines. Tyler Deister of Matt Schaeffer Motorsports / Deister Racing had his best showing yet in the Pro ranks during the Pro-lite main event, bringing home a second place finish after getting off the line just behind King.

Deister fended off charges from CJ Robson who actually took over the spot from Deister but ran into some issues, giving Deister the room to move back into second place and remained there for the rest of the race.

Deister also won the Ironclad Challenge Cup award after his hard work on the weekend. Third place was brought home by Earnhardt Racing’s Sam Jones who had a tough battle for himself as well. Jones was right in the front of the pack action for the entire race and sliced his way into third place by the time the checkered flag flew, giving him a nice push for the points championship after round two as well.

The RATH Racing Three-Wheeler Pro-Am Open class is a new addition this year and sees some of the fastest trike racers in the country. #227 Kenny Bullington was able to sneak ahead of #33 Jacob Hall and snag the Lost Highway Apiary holeshot award but Hall had other plans in mind for the remainder of the race. Hall made quick work of Bullington and put a pass on him for the lead shortly into the race. With the lead his own, Hall was able to remain out front even tho #57 Mat Heinz was quickly charging through the pack to chase him down. Heinz made up ground quickly but ran out of laps to mount any significant charge on Hall before the end of the race and had to settle for second place while #27 Josh Bullington rounded out the podium in third place.
