Doug Drown rebounded with a new powerplant at Attica.
What won the race: Starting fourth, Doug Drown of Wooster, Ohio, dominated the 30-lap main event to notch his second career series victory. Leading 27 of 30 laps, Drown's only other ALMS victory came in 2010's season opener at Attica.
Quotable: "Last week ... it’s pretty funny ... some of these guys laughed about us having some bad luck," said Drown, who blew a motor leading a consolation race eight days earlier. "Look who’s laughing now. The crew obviously did a great job this week. We ran down to Charlotte and got an engine and the thing is phenomenal. A little too much power, I think."
Key notes: Brandon Thirlby led the first three laps of the feature but retired with damage. ... Cautions on lap 15 (a slowing Matt Miller) and lap 21 (debris) slowed the action. ... Attica's surface was fast, heavy and choppier than usual. ... Doug Drown's first career ALMS victory came April 16, 2010, at Attica. ... He showed his prowess early in the night by winning the second heat from the tail. ... Runner-up Ryan Missler of Bellevue, Ohio, is the track's five-time and reigning Late Model champ.
Winner's sponsors: Drown's Dave and Michelle Runkle-owned Rocket Chassis is sponsored by Wheeling Auto Body, D.J. Directional Service, Wooster Glass and Integra Shocks.
