Ryan Michael Luza scores second eNPAiS win of 2019 at Texas Motor Speedway
A one lap dash determined the winner of the fourth round of the 2019 eNASCAR Peak AntiFreeze iRacing Series on Tuesday night.
Ryan Michael Luza took home the checkers once again, holding off Keegan Leahy and Corey Vincent at Texas Motor Speedway.
Luza, who won at Las Vegas earlier in the season, becomes the first driver to win multiple races on the season, and is now an 11-time winner in the series all-time.
Starting from the fourth position, Luza worked his way up to lead by lap 27, making his way around pole sitter Michael Conti for the top spot.
Strategies differed between drivers, with some electing to take two pit stops, and others electing for three. Luza made his bed with the two-stop strategy, while Conti hoped to make the three-stop strategy pay off.
In the closing laps, it seemed like Luza had made the right call, as he led the field, and Conti was mired back in seventh position.
A late race caution with just over ten laps to go changed the complexion of the race, sending all drivers on all strategies down pit road one last time.
A quick second yellow bunched up the field once again, leading to the one lap dash to decide the race.
On the final lap, Luza held the low lane, as Leahy was unable to make it stick on the top.
In two weeks, the series returns for it’s fifth installment at Richmond Raceway.
WHAT A FINISH! 🏁@RyanLuza gets his second win of the season after a thriller of a last lap from @TXMotorSpeedway.
