Jennerstown, PA—When the best of the best get together, Shane Huffman has been the best of late.
Huffman passed Bobby Gill on Lap 118 and led to the finish of the Charlie Campbell Memorial BFGoodrich Tires 250 presented by Hess Racing Products at Jennerstown Speedway on Saturday night.
Huffman’s win was his second win in a row and his third straight Championship Series event, dating back to 2003.
"These guys’s never-give-up attitude is what won us these races," said Huffman, driver of the No. 84 John Morrell Dinner Bell Ford. "We weren’t that good in practice. We went back over the car like we do at the shop and found a couple of things wrong. We through a lot of things at the car to make it better, but I’d be lying if I thought [the car] would have been that dominant."
All told, Huffman led a race-high 183, but the last 50 laps the 2003 Hooters ProCup Champion looked like he may have some company before the checkered flag waved.
Jeff Agnew, driver of the No. 73 NGA Hooters Golf Tour Chevy, slipped past Clay Rogers to take over second on Lap 168. Agnew was 2.6 sec. behind Huffman after taking over the second spot, but the Floyd, Va., driver trimmed the lead down to 1.5 sec. by Lap 199.
Huffman’s lead was literally washed away on Lap 200, when a brief shower brought out the sixth caution of the night. Once the race restarted on Lap 211, Agnew didn’t have much for Huffman, however, and Benny Gordon, driver of the No. 66 Predator Performance Ford, wanted to show both what he had.
Gordon made his way around Agnew for second on Lap 226, but on Lap 236 Gordon cut a tire and hit the outside wall in Turn 4. Gordon finished 20th.
Agnew again closed for the restart, but, once again, he had nothing for Huffman.
"We needed some long green-flag runs," said Agnew. "We could run Shane down on long runs, but we were too tight on short runs. And Shane may have been holding back."
Agnew finished second 1.06 sec. behind Huffman.
Rogers, driver of the No. 44 Johnny’s Suzuki/Baird Auto Transport Ford, rallied to finish third. Gary St. Amant, driver of the No. 11 JEGS.com Chevy, finished fourth, and Bobby Gill, driver of the No. 06 USG Sheetrock Brand Ford, rounded out the top five.
After winning the pole, Mardy Lindley led 53, but parked on Lap 138 with mechanical failure.
