Fights Off Points Leader, Cody Coughlin in Thrilling Battle Around the Famed 1/2 Mile
Winchester, Indiana (Sunday, September 1, 2013): The JEGS/CRA All-Stars Tour Presented by Chevrolet Performance kicked off the prestigious World Stock Car Festival traditionally held over the Labor Day Holiday Weekend at the famed 1/2 (0.500) mile high-banked paved oval of Winchester Speedway in Winchester, Indiana on Sunday, September 2nd with the running of the Winchester 100 Presented by JEGS.com.
Trent Snyder, who had three career wins, all at near-by Anderson Speedway coming into the weekend, proved that he’s just as stout on the bigger track as the Glen Ellyn, Illinois driver behind the wheel of his #88 Medwest Associates / Chevrolet started on the pole and led all 100 laps while fighting off current Points Leader, Cody Coughlin over the last 60 laps, to score his fourth career victory in the series and second win of 2013 in only three starts.
“This is amazing. The car was wicked loose for most of the race and it was all I could do to hold off Cody (Coughlin), man is he strong.” The 29-year-old originally from Ironton, Minnesota stated in victory lane. “After the last caution with about 20 to go, I decided to move down to the bottom and the car just came to life. We had been running the top the whole night, that’s where you’re supposed to run here. But we went low and the car was so good after that. I can’t thank this whole crew enough for their hard work to get us here. Man this is great.” He added. (more…)
