416 days later, Justin Peck is finally a winner again with Kubota High Limit Racing.
Leading from start-to-finish in Friday’s 25-lap BeFour the Crowns Showdown, the Monrovia, Indiana native slid by Aaron Reutzel at the start, mastered lap traffic, and survived a last-lap Hail Mary from Rico Abreu to win the $10,000 prize at Eldora Speedway.
The win marked Peck’s long-awaited first triumph at “The Big E” in his 34th trip to the Rossburg, OH 1/2-mile. It was also his first win of the 2024 season aboard the Buch Motorsports #13.
Rico Abreu settled for runner-up honors after making it close at the checkered, and Brad Sweet rounded out the podium with a third-place finish.
Closing out the top-10 on Friday was Aaron Reutzel, Spencer Bayston, Jacob Allen, Anthony Macri, Emerson Axsom, Tyler Courtney, and Corey Day.
