Eichlin would waste no time moving to the front either, taking over the top spot after the second time around the course, with Kimbrell moving into the position of follower. With the top two seeming set for the moment, behind them the battle raged for the final podium spot, first with Franca in the spot, then Morales, before Franca took it back, all the while losing ground to the top two. But then things settled down long enough to start making inroads, at leas to the second spot. For his part, Eichlin was able to eek out a bit of a lead via consistent laps, dropping Kimbrell from his draft, and into the clutches of the chasing pack. Once there Kimbrell was gobbled up by his pursuers, with Franca actually ably to get away while the rest jostled for position. Out front, Eichlin would cruise on to his 4th career Super Series win -moving him up to a tie for 6th on the all-time list- while Franca would maintain his second spot to the end. Behind Franca was a battle royal however, this time with Sean Fite coming out on top for the final podium spot. The CalSpeed Super Series returns February 16th, taking to the Grande CCW course for the only time this season, so don’t miss out on what is certainly a driver favorite course!
