Mike Chasteen, Jr. gets first win at Peoria Speedway!

[dirtwriter]

Mike Chasteen, Jr. won his first-ever UMP Modified feature in a caution-filled race which ended up with only 7 cars running at the end. Mark Johnson led from the start of the race, but mechanical difficulties slowed the car on the backstretch. As Johnson tried to his slowing car out of harms way, a 4-car pileup occurred on lap 5. Chasteen out-gunned Tommy Duncan on the restart, and won be nearly a straightaway. Duncan finished 2nd, with Floyd Jordan, Jr., Chris Morefield and Eric Bruce rounding out the top 5.
An elated Chasteen got a hug from his dad, 30-year racing veteran Mike Chasteen in victory lane. “This feels great to finally get a win”, said Chasteen, Jr. “We made a few changes to the car for the feature and it all worked out great. This is a huge weight off my shoulders to get that first win.”

Way to go Mike! From what I saw at the end of last year, and the start of this year, I knew you'd be in victory lane before long. Wish your dad would've had better luck with his new car last night, it looked fast...when it was running. Best of luck the rest of the year!
