Euro Elite 2: Chakat Silverpaw scores third last-place finish in a row after withdrawing at Hungaroring

Chakat Silverpaw on track at Brands Hatch.
Chakat Silverpaw picked up the 3rd last place finish of his SCRL Sun Energy Whelen Euro Elite 2 career in the Round 4 at Hungaroring when his #73 Knauf Ford withdrew from the race without completing any of the 10 laps.

The finish came in his 4th career start, was his first on the circuit since September 17, 2018 in Round 3 at Circuit de Spa Francorchamps when he was involved in a single car crash after completing 3 of the 6 laps, 1 race ago. In the SCRL Sun Energy Whelen Euro Elite 2, it's the 3rd for car #73 and the 1st for reason of did not start. Across all the series in the SCRL, it's the 3rd for the #73 and just the 5th for reason of did not start.

After getting his second straight last-place finish at Circuit de Spa Francorchamps, the second ever Chakat to race in league history was hoping to just finish the race as the series made their first ever trip to the 2.722 mile Hungaroring road course in Mogyorod, Hungary. 

The entry list for the race grew yet again for the second race in a row to 14 as Ace Horsebutt, who had competed in the first race of the SCRL Icebreakers Whelen Series at Thompson, withdrew from that series and travled across the pond and signed up to compete in the SCRL Sun Energy Whelen Euro Elite 2.

However before the race day began, Silverpaw's team decided to withdraw as their car wasn't prepared in time for the event as the team decided to focus their efforts for Round 5 at Hockenheim in Germany.

The remaining Bottom Five finished on the same lap as the race leaders; 13th was the #28 Micromoney of Turd Ferguson, 12th was the #8 Italicus Ford of Leroy Jones, 11th was the #33 Mavi Jeans Chevrolet of Soran Taheri and finishing 10th was the #27 Whelen Chevrolet of Jimmy Potter.
