NEW SMYRNA, FL – Cole Anderson kicked off the 2016 NASCAR Whelen All-American Series season by capturing the Red Eye 100, the Super Late Model opener, at New Smyrna Speedway.
"It's pretty amazing," Anderson said. "It means a lot. It says good things about this year, and I can't wait to get it going."
Defending race winner Bubba Pollard came home second, followed by Kaz Grala. Anthony Sergi was fourth and Brad May rounded out the top five.
Anderson set fast time in qualifying in the Florida Governor's Cup 200 in November but was involved in a wreck and watched Wisconsin's Ty Majewski walk away with the victory. This time, Anderson again set fast time but had little trouble. He started fourth following an invert of the top four spots, and passed Grala for the lead on Lap 69.
"The car was just really good," said Anderson. "I made the pass on Kaz and it was clear sailing from there."
Jesse Dutilly finished sixth, followed by Travis Cope, Michael Atwell, Josh Collins and David Garbo Jr.
