Strickland wins Fall Classic in Outlaws and Track Championship

The Bandolero Outlaws followed their Bandit counterparts on track for their 15 lap feature, and the third and final round of the Drive for the Cup yielded Bradley Strickland, Andrew Gomes, Brent Robidoux, and Joey Lemay.

Chase Silvia jumped out to the early lead, leaving Strickland, Gomes, Robidoux and LeMay all scrambling to climb forward to the front of the line. The playoff drivers began working their way around Adam Harrison on the inside, and before long, Striland and Gomes had broken away from the pack, shaping up to be a two-horse race for the championship. Silvia wad leadng all the while.

A late-race caution involving Robidoux forced the field to bunch back up again with just three laps to go, setting up for a late race sprint to decide the champion. 

Green flag waved and Silvia immediately got shuffled from the lead, giving way to a drag race between Strickland and Gomes. Gomes has inside position on Strickland and went for a  championship-winning move on the inside and made it stick! With one lap left, Strickland did not give up, and perfectly pulled off a crossover maneuver that would give him the edge to win the championship.

Bradley Strickland took down the race win, making it three in a row to sweep the Drive for the Cup. Following post race inspection, Gomes and Harrison were scored second and third. Harrison, Roubidoux, Leo Rossi, and Lemay rounded out the top seven.
