TALLADEGA, Ala. – At the General Tire 200 at Talladega Superspeedway the driver’s entry list filled with names like Cleetus McFarland, Butterbean Queen and Lawless Alan. Names that harken back to the early days of NASCAR when men like Fireball Roberts, Banjo Matthews and Cotton Owens secured their legendary status in the sport.
They have brought an excitement to the sport that many have not seen in years. The General Tire 200 this year was a great race that featured excellent passing and multiple lead changes. Isabella Robusto finished third, making history as the highest finishing female driver at Talladega in ARCA history.
Lawless Alan solidified his status as a rising star in the series, and his Venturini Motorsports teammate Isabella Robusto’s historic finish highlights the growing recognition of female drivers in motorsports.
Lawless Alan, driving the No. 20 Toyota, was the leader on the final lap when a multi-car crash brought a premature end to the General Tire 200 at Talladega Superspeedway and Alan was declared the winner. Alan was among the contenders throughout the General Tire 200.
He started second and led early and often but constantly found himself under attack by Joe Gibbs Racing’s William Sawalich. The two traded the lead multiple times throughout the race, but Alan had an advantage that Sawalich didn’t. Alan had teammates.
With 18 laps left Alan got a push from his teammate Isabella Robusto that allowed him to go three-wide with Jason Kitzmiller and Sawalich for the lead. The move shuffled Sawalich out of the lead group and gave Alan command of the race.
He remained in command when caution flag waved with five laps left when Michael Maples crashed after contact in the middle of the pack.
That incident set up a one-lap dash to the finish with Alan leading Thad Moffitt, the grandson of seven-time NASCAR Cup Series champion Richard Petty.
When racing resumed Alan had help behind him from Robusto, who was able to push Alan out just far enough that when a multi-car crash behind the leaders ended the race, it was Alan who was declared the winner ahead of Moffitt.
Thad Moffitt finished 2nd, Isabella Robusto finished third, giving Venturini Motorsports two cars in the top three. Andy Jankowiak was fourth, followed by ARCA veteran driver Jason Kitzmiller in fifth.
Lavar Scott, Jake Finch, Bryce Haugeberg, Sawalich and YouTube sensation Cleetus McFarland finished out the top ten.
The ARCA Menards Series season continues Friday, May 9 with the running of the Tide 150 at Kansas Speedway. Coverage begins at 7 p.m. CT / 8 p.m. ET live on FS1.
