Clinton, MO -- (SBWire) -- 08/04/2021 --Hafertepe traded blows in traffic with Dylan Westbrook before parking in Victory Lane. "It was fun racing with Dylan. I think on open track, we were going to run one/two regardless," stated Sam Hafertepe, Jr.

Going 25 non-stop laps, Hafertepe's win is the first of his career at Lakeside Speedway, his 56th with the American Sprint Car Series and the eighth consecutive year he has won a National Tour A-Feature.

Hafertepe used the Tuesday event as a shakedown session for the upcoming 360 Knoxville. In pursuit of teammate Dylan Westbrook, lapped traffic brought the Nitro 54 Variety No. 47x within striking distance on lap 14. Hafertepe led to the checkered flag, finishing 1.945 seconds ahead of Westbrook.

"It's tough for Dylan because when I got to him, he hadn't seen anyone the entire race, so it's hard to gauge if the top or bottom was better," Hafertepe said. "If he stayed low, I was screwed because it was a tick better. You could use the top to get around lapped cars if you needed to. Once I got to him, and he started searching, I knew we'd have a chance at getting the win. Special thanks to Champion Racing Oil."
