MONTPELIER, Ind. – In a season of incredibly hard luck, Justin Peck finally broke through the troubles. The native of Monrovia, Ind. swept the night on Saturday at Montpelier Motor Speedway. After taking the heat race win, Peck emerged victorious in the feature event.
As one of 24 midget competitors in attendance, Peck made his first appearance of the year at the northeast Indiana quarter-mile. From the outside of row two in his heat race, Peck blasted into the lead by the time the field emerged from turn two on the first lap. Never looking back, he handily won the eight-lap race.
With the second-highest passing point total, Peck set up from outside pole for the 20-lapper to cap off the night. A rough track was ahead, but the Dura Coat No. 5x again shot to the point on the start. Leading through the first half of the race, a red flag brought the field to a halt. Following the restart, Peck lost his lead and fell to third, but battled fiercely to regain his spot out front. A final caution and restart with three to go allowed Peck to maneuver back into the lead and to the triumph.
Peck would like to thank Dura Coat Products, Factory Kahne, Simpson Race Products, Lucas Oil, Keizer Wheels, Hoosier Racing Tire, Saldana Racing Products, Pit Stop BBQ & Grill, Quick Change Products, and Spider Graphix, as well as his parents, Joe Devin, Carl Thomas, Rich Gabel, Jon Steed, Mike Gass, Zack Burks, and all of his fans for their continued support.
Peck is next scheduled to compete on August 21 at Lincoln Speedway in Lincoln, Ill., and on August 22 at Macon Speedway in Macon, Ill., both with the POWRi National Midget Series in the No. 5x midget entry.
