Throwback ARCA: Hard crash at Pocono with Grayson Acevedo gives Cam Nixey the 2nd last-place finish of his ARCA career

Cam Nixey picked up the 2nd last place finish of his SCRL Lucas Oil ARCA Racing Series career in the Season 1 Pennsylvana ARCA 125 at the Pocono Raceway when his #22 Ebay Motors / St. Jude Children's Hospital Dodge was involved in a two-car crash after 7 of the 20 laps.

The finish, which came in his 14th start, was his first on the circuit since the Kentucky 150 at the Kentucky Speedway when he was involved in a two-car crash after 14 of the 27 laps; 8 races ago.

After trailing for the first time in his ARCA career at Kentucky, the Cunningham Motorsports team rebounded with Cam finishing 3rd in the series first trip at Pocono, before struggling to a 18th place finish at Michigan, 19th at Texas, 16th at NJMP, 25th at Iowa, 18th at Chicagoland before finishing 5th in the last round at Lucas Oil Raceway.

On race day, Cam rolled off starting 16th while starting in the final spot was the #11 Syngenta Ford of Todd Kennedy. When the green flag waved, the field safety made it's way past Turn 1 with no problem, but entering Turn 2 the #58 Tastee Apple Chevrolet of Jesse Turner was spun out after contact from the #5 Lucas Oil Slick Mist Chevrolet of Jay Barker, bringing out the day's first caution. Turner's car would hit the safer barrier, giving him damage to the right side of his car as he was sent back across the path into the #82 unsponsored Empire Racing Ford of Zachary Fitzwater giving both cars further damage. Turner would trail for the first two laps but on Lap 3 the #3 unsponsored Brevak Racing Dodge of Teejay Handley who was leading under caution was forced to pit when he had a flat left rear tire, and would start last when the field went back to racing. 

The race would get it's first caution free lap under green on Lap 5, but one circuit later trouble struck in Turn 2 once again as the #1 ModSpace Ford of Grayson Acevedo would go wide exiting Turn 2 and would swerve to miss the wall, but came down too far and made contact with Cam, sending both cars down the track and then head on into the inside wall at over 160 mph in a horrifying wreck. The caution flag would wave and a eerie silence would cover the 2.500 mile Tricky Triangle as fans watched and waited, and finally after a few seconds, the window nets finally came down to signal both drivers were alright, with both climbing from their destroyed cars and taking the mandatory ride to the infield care center, both drivers out for the day.

The remaining Bottom Five would be filled up just four laps later when a four car wreck broke out in Turn 1: 39th was the #55 unsponsored Venturini Motorsports Chevrolet of Jay Jefferson, 38th was the unsponsored #17 Roulo Brothers Racing Ford of Tommy Hudson and 37th was the aforementioned #11 of Todd Kennedy.

CUP: Chase Miller season finishes where it begins as he trails in caution free race at Hillsborough; AJ Jones wins first ever SCRLASTCAR Championship

Chase Miller picked up the 2nd last place finish of his SCRL Grand National Series career in Wednesday's Race 19 at the Occoneechee Speedway when his #44 Daytona Motors Cadillac completed all 18 laps under power.

The finish, which came in his 19th career series start, was his first on the circuit since Race 1 at the Beach & Road Course when he was involved in a two-car accident after he completed 2 of the 10 laps; 18 races ago. In the SCRL Grand National Series, it's the 2nd for car #44 and the 14th for running at the finish. Across all the series in the SCRL, it's the 6th for the #44 and 318th for running at the finish.

After trailing in the season opener at Daytona Beach, Miller was looking for redemption in the next round and would find it with a 7th place finish at Charlotte. A 28th in the next round at Langhorne, 29th at Martinsville, 18th at Canfield, 5th at Vernon, 16th at Dayton, 4th at Monroe County, 27th at the summer Charlotte event, 36th at Hillsborough, 5th at the summer Dayton event, 19th at Hamburg, 29th at Darlington, 14th at the summer Langhorne, 15th at North Wilkesboro, 23rd at the summer Vernon event, 4th at Martinsville before finishing 7th in the last round at Winchester.

The entry list for the seventh and final time this season would be the full 42 car field with both full and part-time drivers racing.

In qualifying, Omar Gutierrez would score his first career series pole with a time of 36.135 seconds. Chase would struggle around the bumpy one mile track, posting a time of 36.744, while 0.609 seconds off Gutierrez's time, it would place Chase 40th on the grid. Starting last in the race was the #7 Bob Flock Garage Oldsmobile of Patrick White, who posted a time of 21.459, 0.696 seconds behind Gutierrez's pole winning time.

On race day, Patrick would have a slow start getting around the track, as he would trail for the first three laps before finally getting a run and knocking the #23 Lincoln of Chavis Mitchell into last on Lap 4. Mitchell was determined to complete his first ever full time season in his SCRL career without trailing the field, and so his stay in last was just one lap before knocking Patrick back into last on Lap 5. White would once again find it hard to pass around the track, as he would remain in the final spot for another three laps before finally getting another run and knocking Miller back to last on Lap 9. It was unknown at the time, but the battle for last ending on Lap 9, as Miller would also find it hard to pass on the one groove track, and with no other drivers having problems or any cautions flying, Miller would trail the remaining nine laps and finished a full twelve seconds behind the race leaders.

Rounding out the Bottom Five were: 41st was fall Martinsville last-place finisher the #48 Ford of Jay Jefferson, 40th was the aforementioned #7 of Patrick White, 39th was the #41 Eanes Motor Co. Oldsmobile of Christian Vargas and 38th was the Moyer Co. Lincoln of Brian Fox

With Miller trailing the field at Hillsborough, it meant that AJ, won the SCRLASTCAR Championship since Brent Davison or Bruce Webster didn't finish last, no one could beat out Jones. Jones had two last place finishes this season at Monroe and Dayton. It is the first ever SCRLASTCAR Championship that AJ has won in the SCRL.

The Season 2 SCRL Grand National Series Championship went to Sebastian Torres, the second in a row for Torres in the SCRL's premier series, as well as his 4th overall championship in the SCRL, tying him with Zachary Fitzwater for most in a career. Torres had one last place finish this season - coming at Winchester - and is the only time in the two year history of the Grand National Series the number 16 has finished last in series history.

Congratulations to Torres for having a great year.

CUP: Flat tire on the first lap gives newly crowned SCRL Grand National Series Champion Sebastian Torres gets his first ever last place finish; three driver battle set for Hillsborough for SCRLASTCAR Title

Sebastian Torres picked up the 1st last place finish of his SCRL Grand National Series career in Sunday's Race 18 at the Winchester Speedway when his #16 Plymouth completed 24 of the 25 laps under power.

The finish came in his 25th career series start. In the SCRL Grand National Series, it's the 1st for car #16 and the 13th for running at the finish. Across all the series in the SCRL, it's the 8th for the #16 and 317th for running at the finish.

Entering his second ever full time season in the SCRL Grand National Series, Torres has already built himself a first ballot Hall of Fame career having picked up a total of 15 career wins and has already won three overall SCRL Championships, including becoming the first ever SCRL Strictly Stock Series Champion and was looking to defend his title from one season ago, a season that he actually went winless. Sebastian would start off his season with a 19th at Daytona Beach, 6th at the spring Charlotte event, 30th at Langhorne, 5th at Martinsville, 9th at Canfield, 14th at Vernon and a 4th at Dayton before finishing runner up to Chris Henry at Monroe County. A 16th in the summer Charlotte event would be followed by a 24th at Hillsborough, 11th at the summer Dayton event, 25th at Hamburg before scoring his first ever Grand National Series win at the first ever Southern 500 at Darlington, a win that would shot Sebastian into the points lead. A disappointing 22nd at the fall Langhorne, would be followed by a 25th at North Wilkesboro and a 6th at Vernon before Torres would gain more momentum by scoring win #2 at the fall Martinsville race in the last round and locking up the championship with two races to go, his second in a row in the premier SCRL series.

The entry list for the twelfth and final time this season would be only the full-time drivers, as the track wasn't big enough to fit all the full and part-time drivers.

In qualifying, Christian Russel would score his first career series pole with a time of 21.030 seconds. Torres would struggle around the bumpy half mile track, posting a time of 21.405, while only 0.375 seconds off Russel's time, it would place Torres 29th on the grid. Starting last in the race was spring Charlotte last-place finisher the #24 Pontiac of Nathan Ormond, who posted a time of 21.459, 0.429 seconds behind Russel's pole winning time.

On the pace lap, Ormond would actually spin out briefly in Turn 4 as the field went green and was trailing the field when both Torres and the #1 Fabulous Hudson Hornet Hudson of Johnston McClellan made a sharp turn to the inside of the track in Turn 3 and headed into the pits. By this point, Ormond had caught back up and pass those two cars and would actually climb up to finish 25th, just outside the Bottom Five. For Torres and McClellan, they both had suffered a flat right front tire and the teams chose to change only the right sides and sent their drivers back out, just behind the race leaders and would lose a lap. If a caution would have came out, Torres and McLellan would have had a chance to gain their laps back, but surprisingly, all the drivers was able to maintain control of their cars and no cautions would fly, keeping Torres and McClellan trapped a lap down with Torres trailing flag to flag in the race.

Rounding out the Bottom Five were drivers who finished on the same lap as the race leaders: 28th was the #14 Plymouth of Chris Kyle, 27th was North Wilkesboro last-place finisher the #59 Lincoln of Zachary Fitzwater and 26th was the #20 Oldsmobile of Kaitlyn Coyne.

Entering the season finale at Hillsborough, three drivers have a chance to become the 

SCRLASTCAR Champion for Season 2 as AJ Jones, Brent Davison and Bruce Webster are all tied with two last-place finishes a piece. If any of those drivers outright finishes last at Hillsborough they will win the championship, however if anyone but them finishes last it will give the title to AJ Jones no matter if Davison or Webster finishes in the Bottom Five.

CUP: Broken gearbox ends Jay Jefferson's day early at Martinsville; becomes 11th different driver to trail double digits in a SCRL career

Jay Jefferson picked up the 1st last place finish of his SCRL Grand National Series career in Saturday's Race 17 at the Martinsville when his #48 Ford fell out with gearbox problems after completing 8 of the 50 laps.

The finish came in his 17th career series start. In the SCRL Grand National Series, it's the 1st for car #48 and the 1st for gearbox issues. Across all the series in the SCRL, it's the 11th for the #48 and 14th for gearbox issues.

Jay is one of the most successful drivers in the SCRL that hasn't one a championship yet, having picked up a total of 10 career wins over various series, and was looking to bring that same success to the SCRL's highest division, a series he had yet to race in. Jay would sign up full time to complete in a full time schedule as usual, he would be joined by his brother Joe, as the two have been rivals since their early SCRL days. Jay would finish 41st in his debut at Daytona Beach after being caught up in a wreck that put Chase Miller in last. While Joe scored his first ever Grand National Series win in the next round at Charlotte, Jay would struggle once again by finishing 16th. A 36th at Langhorne, would be followed by a series best third at the spring Martinsville event. Jay would struggle over the next four events with a 28th at Canfield, 23rd at Vernon, 26th at Dayton and a 22nd at Monroe before scoring his second 3rd place finish of the season at the return trip to Charlotte.

A 29th at Hillsborough, would be followed by a 9th the the second Dayton event, 20th at Hamburg, 32nd at Darlington, 29th at the second Langhorne event, 32nd at North Wilkesboro before finishing 15th in the last round at Vernon.

The entry list for the eleventh time this season would be only the full-time drivers, as the track wasn't big enough to fit all the full and part-time drivers.

In qualifying, Nick Kennedy would score his record setting fourth career pole with a time of 26.413 seconds. Jay would struggle around the bumpy half mile track, posting a time of 26.748, while only 0.335 seconds off Kennedy's time, it would place Jay 22nd on the grid. Starting last in the race was two time last-place finisher the #91 Plymouth of AJ Jones, who posted a time of 26.918, 0.505 seconds behind Kennedy's pole winning time.

On race day, Jones would trail for two turns before knocking the #64 of Randy Mayhew into last, with Randy trailing for the first two laps before knocking AJ back to last on Lap 3. Jones would trail for two laps himself before he would knock the #14 Plymouth of Chris Kyle into last on Lap 5. Kyle would trail for the next three laps around the half mile track before he knocked Randy back into last on Lap 8, a position he would hold as the battle would come to an end one lap later. At this point, Jay had only gained one spot since the start of the race and was running in 22nd when he suddenly pulled to the inside of the track exiting Turn 2 and pulled onto the backstretch pit road and then quickly pulled behind the wall. The team would have to go to the makeshift infield garage and would look under the hood and discovered that the gearbox was broken beyond repair, and so the car was listed as "out" by the team by the 12th circuit.

Finishing in 29th was the #19 R & W Auto Service Oldsmobile of Justin Appleby, who would suffer a blown engine with two laps to go while running in 23rd and would coast back to pit road before pulling into the garage, being scored as having completed 48 laps.

Rounding out the Bottom Five were drivers who finished on the same lap as the race leaders: 28th was the aforementioned #64 of Randy Mayhew, 27th was the #98 Plymouth of Myron Felder and 26th was the #1 Fabulous Hudson Hornet Hudson of Johnston McClellan.

The entry list for the tenth time this season would be only the full-time drivers, as the track wasn't big enough to fit all the full and part-time drivers.

In qualifying, Jay Jefferson would score his first career pole with a time of 24.378 seconds. Jordan would struggle around the bumpy half mile track, posting a time of 23.044, 0.258 seconds off Jefferson's time, placing Jordan 22nd on the grid.

On race day, Davison would trail for the first two laps before knocking Dallas back to last for the first time on Lap 3, with Dallas trailing for two laps himself before knocking the #1 Fabulous Hudson Hornet Hudson of Johnston McClellan into last on Lap 5. McClellan's stay in last would be only one lap as he knocked the #89 Ford of Austin Hiller into last on Lap 6, with Hiller also remaining in last for only one lap as he passed spring Vernon last-place finisher the #60 Oldsmobile of Omar Gutierrez, but his stay in last was also only one lap as he knocked two time last-place finisher the #91 Plymouth of AJ Jones into last on Lap 8.

Jones would trail for two laps before knocking the #15 of Joe Jefferson into last on Lap 10, a spot he would hold for three laps before knocking Omar back to last on Lap 13. Omar would trail for four laps before he knocked the #65 Ford of Brandon Mayhew into last on Lap 17 and was running there when the battle for last came to an end. While racing for 20th, Dallas was tapped and spun by Daytona Beach last-place finisher the #44 Daytona Motors Cadillac of Chase Miller, sending Jordan up the track in Turn 4 and bringing the race to an end behind the pace car as Jordan fell back to the final spot as he re fired his car and drove behind the cars in front as the race ended under yellow.

CUP: Broken Header prevents Zachary Fitzwater from completing a lap at North Wilkesboro; scores his 9th overall last-place finish in his SCRL career

Zachary Fitzwater picked up the 1st last place finish of his SCRL Grand National Series career in Wednesday's Wilkes 200 at the North Wilkesboro Speedway when his #59 Lincoln fell out with header issues without completing any of the 40 laps.

The finish came in his 19th career series start. In the SCRL Grand National Series, it's the 1st for car #59 and the 1st for header issues. Across all the series in the SCRL, it's the 6th for the #59 and 25th for header issues.

Fitzwater at this moment in his career is a future first ballot Hall of Famer whenever the SCRL decides to make one, with Fitzwater picking up a total of 14 career wins at the time of the posting of this article, and is a four time reigning champion in the SCRL, with two coming in back-to-back seasons in the SCRL Rainbow Dash Truck Series. However, Fitzwater is still finding his way in the SCRL's highest series, as in the inaugural season, Fitzwater would join late in the season, making his debut at Hamburg and finishing 14th but would win in his very next start at Martinsville and would go on to finish 42nd in points. After competing part-time, Fitzwater would return for the second season in a row in a full time ride for a chance to win his 5th overall championship. Fitzwater would finish 11th at Daytona Beach, 26th at Charlotte, 39th at Langhorne, 6th at Martinsville, 23rd at Canfield, 21st at Vernon, 12th at Dayton, 23rd at Monroe, before scoring back-to-back runner up finishes at the second Charlotte event and Hillsborough. A 10th at the second Dayton event, 3rd at Hamburg, 41st at Darlington before finishing 17th in the last round at Langhorne. 

The entry list for the sixth time this season would be the full 42 car field with both full and part-time drivers racing.

In qualifying, Nathan Ormond would score his first career pole with a time of 22.546 seconds. Fitzwater would struggle around the 0.625 mile track, posting a time of 23.044, 0.498 seconds off Ormond's time, placing Fitzwater 22nd. Starting last in the race was summer Charlotte last-place finisher the #3 Ford of Chris Henry, who posted a time of 23.289, 0.743 seconds behind Ormond's pole winning time.

On race day just as the field began their lone pace lap, Fitzwater's car would stall at the start as the other drivers drove past him. Fitzwater would be towed back to the pits as his crew looked it over as the field took the green flag. Fitzwater's crew would look under the hood and found that the header was broken beyond repair, and so the car was listed as "out" by the 3rd circuit.

Rounding out the Bottom Five were drivers who finished on the same lap as the race leaders: 41st was the #36 Mercury of Byron Bell, 40th was the #88 Ford of Brian Fields, 39th was the #87 Griffin Motors / Darlington Intl. Raceway Oldsmobile of Doug Hart and 38th was the #65 Ford of Brandon Mayhew.
