RUNNER-UP RESULT AT THE CAMP COKER BULLET GNCC
ROUND FOR CRAIG DELONG

PODIUM FINISH SEES ROCKSTAR ENERGY HUSQVARNA
FACTORY RACING RIDER CLIMB TO SECOND IN POINTS 

A focus on starts during the weeks leading up to round five paid dividends for DeLong, who took the lead from the outset, maintaining a hot pace all the way until the lap five mark, before battling to the end with eventual winner, Grant Baylor. A calculated ride for the closing laps saw DeLong take the checkered flag in the runner-up position.

“We worked on starts a lot over the last two weeks, and it paid off today,” commented DeLong. “It was a lot of fun leading and running my own pace. I didn’t try to do anything crazy, just hit my marks and tried to build a lead, which I did, and then Grant began to reel me in a bit. It was definitely a tough day, the track was brutal, so I'm really happy to come out of this event with a podium, for sure."
