Kent Robinson Wins at Bloomington; Florence Next

Bloomington, Indiana (05/28/14) – After a weekend away from the track Kent Robinson returned to the seat of the #85 Jones Oil/Bandit Race Car Open Wheel Modified on Friday night at Bloomington Speedway (Bloomington, Indiana) in the Josh Burton Memorial, where he came away with his first win of the year.

Twenty competitors entered the event, and Robinson started his night by winning the second heat race to earn the outside pole position for the feature with Devin Gilpin alongside. K-Rob assumed the point at the drop of the green flag, and fought off a hard charging Gilpin for the victory. Gilpin settled in second followed by Derek Groomer, Jake Humphrey, and Jesse Cramer rounding out the top five finishers. Full results from the event are available at www.BloomingtonSpeedway.com .

During the course of the 25 lap feature K-Rob battled at the front of the pack in his #7r JB's Salvage/Club 29/Jay D ickens Racing Engine before crossing the finish line in third behind race winner, Matt Miller and Jeep Van Wormer.
