The Marines landed Sunday in WV, when Ron Fariss started from the pole to claim his second victory of the year. Stock Cars rumbled off the grid for the start of the 25 lap race at Summit Point Raceway in Summit Point, WV. The 2nd race of the 2002 season for the Stock Car Championship Series providing great excitement under the hot, sunny skies.
After falling back to the fourth position during the first lap, "the battle back to the front was great, the chassis came in just as the tires started going away," according to Fariss. "The Stock Car Championship series is our primary series for the year and we will be running for the championship" per Fariss "and we have some selected races in our Grand Am car.
Starting from the second position, Jeff Werth's number 46 Grand Prix took a commanding lead for the first quarter of the race. Werth stated that "his car was working great through the carousel and he was able to pull away from Chris Mitchum". "Ron was drafting me going into turn 1, and then passed me in the corner, I almost got him on the exit of 2 but as I went into turn 3 I had an issue with the shifter which cost us about 4 seconds" said Werth.
Chris Mitchum had his own battles in the field but drove his way back for a 3rd place finish. Chris was impressed with the way his new car was working and stated "that the team has been putting in a lot of work on the car and now that we have got it I have to change my priorities to getting back into the gym".
