PIRELLI WORLD CHALLENGE SERIES – UTAH MOTORSPORTS CAMPUS: Oklahoma Mustang Club member Nate Stacy update. Bear in mind, he is still not old enough to have a driver’s license! Nate is 16 from Owasso, OK. This story is from Pirelli World Challenge Series news –
No. 14 Roush Performance Road Racing Ford Mustang Boss 302 driver Stacy started sixth on the grid and managed to move into second place after the standing-start stalling incident, but slowly gave up positions to find himself as far back as fourth before climbing back to an extended battle for second place with Sandberg in the No. 13 ANSA Motorsports KTM X-Bow GT4, Scott Dollahite in the No. 46 SDR Motorsports Lotus Evora, and No. 10 Lawson Aschenbach in the Blackdog Speed Shop Chevrolet Camaro Z28. In lap 22 of the 24-lap sprint, Stacy was finally able to move back into and secure the second-place spot.
“My crew guys worked really hard overnight to get the Mustang ready for today’s race,” second-place winner Stacy remarked. “We lost a differential on Saturday and they worked until 1:30 (am) this morning to get the car back together. I stayed with them to help and give them some moral support. In the race, I was trying to keep the car underneath me. Dean Martin, my engineer, did an awesome job setting up the car for today. BOP (Balance of Performance) is very close now in the GTS class. We might need a little bit more help but overall it is good. When you have the top seven covered by four-tenths of a second, that is pretty good work by the series. Scott (Heckert) and Brett (Sandberg) had gotten by me, but I was very excited when the full course yellow came out. I got close to Heckert at the end of the race but didn’t have enough for him. Happily, I got second and the point leaders are behind me. So that helps us in the championship chase.”
