PITTMAN SURGES LATE IN THRILLING WIN AT SKAGIT

Alger, WA – September Two, two thousand seventeen – Former World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car Series Champ Daryn Pittman is hitting stride and that is not a good sign for the rest of the competition. A night after being collected in an accident going for the lead, Pittman convincingly charged forward late to pocket $12,000 in the Outlaw Energy Showdown at Skagit Speedway. David Gravel picked up KSE Hard Charger honors ending 2nd with Brad Sweet completing the podium.

In open air, Jason Johnson set a torrid rhythm. Timely caution flags helped Johnson led the very first thirty four laps before providing way to Pittman on the 35th circuit. The longer the race stayed under Green Flag conditions, the better Pittman was. Pittman`s surge to the front happened in a matter of laps. With the top five cars under a blanket, Pittman surged from fourth to the lead in a span of six laps around the taut Trio/10th racing surface.

«Man, I can`t say enough about this Superb Clips team. I messed up early and kept losing catches sight of on those restarts,» Pittman said upon exiting his Kasey Kahne Racing No.9 machine.

One of the fattest storylines of the two thousand seventeen World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car Series was Pittman having no wins heading into the month of August. Now, Pittman has three wins – the most of any driver since August – to his credit. «I`m not sure I`ve ever had more joy driving this race car. It`s rapid every time it hits the track,» a relaxed Pittman said in a uncommon appearance racing in front of his friends and family.

Pittman excelled in turns three and four after getting a big run down the brief backstretch. I eyed Jason [Johnson] was fighting in traffic. When I got in opening in [turn] three and four, I took it and fortunately it was good enough to hold on,» the Owasso, OK native said about his race-winning pass.

As Pittman made his charge to the lead, Gravel was identically as rapid coming from fifth to 2nd in a span of three laps. By the time Gravel reached 2nd on lap 38, Pittman had already extended a sizeable lead. «We were able to truly charge at the end. Very first through sixth was a hell of a battle and a lot of joy as a race car driver. Just blessed to end the race on a good note,» Gravel said.

Brad Sweet and Johnson lodged for third and fourth respectively with Donny Schatz completing the top five. Shane Stewart, Sheldon Haudenschild, Jason Sides, Paul McMahan and Logan Schuchart finished the all World of Outlaws regular top ten.
