For the third straight week, the Arvada X
Motorsports team pulled into I-76 speedway hungry for a win after two straight
finishes of no worse than seventh for Dominic Ursetta.
The heat race was an eight lap blur as the 6u started from the third spot and
quickly took the lead on the first lap and never looked back.
The feature was packed with some very tough competition and Dom had a great
starting spot starting third, right behind the 8h of John Hansen. The first half
of the race started off very fast-paced and had few cautions. Dom quickly moved
into the second spot and a mid-race caution put him right on the back bumper of
Hansen. On lap twelve Ursetta made a move to the inside and took the lead going
into turn one. Stretching his lead throughout the last seven laps and fighting
through some lapped cars, Dominic took the checkered flag scoring his fifth
career win at the famed Fort Morgan 1/4 mile. The win was an exclamation point
put on a great start to the 2009 season for the 6u team and an early Mother's
Day present for Dom's MoM.
