Takes Checkered In K&N West Race At Havasu
By Jason Christley, NASCAR
LAKE HAVASU CITY, Ariz. – Derek
Thorn earned his first career NASCAR win in just his eighth career
NASCAR K&N Pro Series West start Saturday at Havasu 95 Speedway.
Thorn, who recorded his first career Coors Light Pole Award earlier
in the day, waged a race-long, back-and-forth battle with Dylan
Kwasniewski before pulling away for the win in the closing laps of the
Toyota/NAPA 150 presented by Gene Price Motorsports.
The win earned Thorn a protected spot in the UNOH Battle At The
Beach, to be held on a temporary oval on the back stretch of Daytona
International Speedway during Speedweeks 2013.
Points leader David Mayhew edged Kwasniewski for second. Michael Self and Eric Holmes rounded out the top five.
