Steve-0-Yeah

For the first time on this website. Stephen Laarkamp has won a Formula World Series Oval Event, and oh boy what a race it was. After a late race caution, varying pit strategies meant Eric Steinmetz lead the field to green on the restart, but the Indiana driver caught the wall on exit of four on the final lap, allowing Stephen Laarkamp to sweep low and take victory, his first victory featuring no right turns. Stephen Taylor snatched second and Will Roberts grabbed third. Rounding out the top five were Phil Clark and a very distant Eric Steinmetz. Many cars got trapped a lap down under the long green run as the field ran the middle 80 laps of the race caution free. Two yellows were flagged tonight, while the race saw seven different leaders and fifteen lead changes. Danny Roberts took pole and the unrelated Will Roberts lead the most laps on the night. Stephen Laarkamp stretched his points lead to 78 over Danny Roberts and 117 over Kenyon Payne. Next week the series stays in the Pacific Rim as they make their first visit to Australia, to the beautiful Phillip Island Circuit, just outside of Melbourne. Tune in to FMTV for all the action.
