Race Summary from Limaland.com:
The EFI-NRA Sprint Invaders returned to action on the famed high-banks of Limaland Motorsports Park for the 9th Annual Run for the Rabbit and the NRA vs. 305 sprint car challenge. Forty-two sprint cars packed the pits to celebrate the memory of Travis “the Rabbit” Miller. The action was fast and furious. Ron Blair led a 22-car starting field to the green flag waved long-time Limaland flagman, on Burden. Blair held the lead for six laps until JR Stewart passed him after starting fourth. Stewart had the race under control for the next 12 laps before the yellow flag waved for Stuart Brubaker who made contact with the wall in turn three. Stewart led Mike Dussel, Blair, John Ivy, and Mike Miller as the race restarted. Blair was able to get past Dussel but no one had the ability to get close to the streaking Stewart. The win was Stewart’s first of the year and an important victory on two fronts. “I raced go-karts against Travis and I’ve always wanted to win this race. Plus, I have my first win for my car owner, Ron Hammons. Now the pressure is off.”, said Stewart.
