Heres a recap of the Junior Kart 2 Cup race: First up today were the Junior 2 Karts, and after starting on the outside front row, newly-crowned Junior 1 Kart champion Ricky Gutierrez moved into the early lead in his #478 G Brothers/Wiks Racing Engines kart. Mia Chapman ran second in her #437 Pink Motorsports/King Off-Road Racing Shox machine, with Parker Porter third in the #461 Redline Performance/Advantage Boats truck, Bryce McDaniel fourth in the #425 Metal Mulisha/MasterCraft Safety entry, and Bear Nunley fifth in the #427 Kevin McMullen Fabrication & Transaxles/Kar Tek Off Road kart. Porter moved by Chapman and up to second place early on lap two, with McDaniel also getting by her coming out of turn three to take over third. At the end of the lap, Parker Steele went by Nunley just at the start/finish line to get up to fifth, and just afterwards, went past Chapman and into fourth place in his #449 Steele Racing/Lucas Oil entry. The top three were running very close, and by lap five, Steele was just tacking onto the back of the leading group. Just before the end of the lap, McDaniel got past Porter to move into second, and at the Competition Yellow, the running order was Gutierrez, McDaniel, Porter, Steele, and Chapman in the top five. On the restart lap, Steele went down the inside of Porter at turn one to make the pass for third spot, and shortly after, Chapman got spun in the rhythm section, dropping her well back in the field. Meanwhile, another young lady was charging forward. Hailie Deegan, who wrapped up the class championship yesterday, was coming through the field after a spin on the opening lap, and was now up to fourth by early on lap eight. Deegan then got by Porter on the inside at turn one to move into a provisional podium finish on lap nine, but on the final lap, she cut down too tight at turn one, and dropped hard onto the infield. The jolt must have caused some damage or shaken the young lady up slightly, because she immediately slowed, as the rest of the field went past. Up front, it was Gutierrez who brought home the win, earning $500 for his efforts. Second place and $250 went to McDaniel, while third place and $100 went to Porter. Timmy Moran finished up fourth in his #416 Simpson/Parker Pumper machine, and fifth was Hayden Cling in the #418 Clings Manufacturing/KyleGreenFab entry.
