Tuesday\u2019s race at Lernerville Speedway was one of the closest finish in the history of the Series<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Tyler Jackson wrote a new definition for the term \u201cgo where they aren\u2019t\u201d during Tuesday night\u2019s DIRTcar eSports Chevrolet Performance Street Stock race at Lernerville Speedway.<\/p>\n

With nine laps to go, Carl Kilgore left a crack in the doorway to the lead with a patch of grass in the opening. For Jackson, that was good enough. He tossed his #25 underneath Kilgore in Turn 3 and ran his way through the grass to complete the pass off Turn 4.<\/p>\n

His daring move secured him the win and the $100 check that comes with it.<\/p>\n

Before then, Jackson and Kilgore put on a barnburner throughout the 30-lap iRacing event. Jackson got the early lead and held it for the early portion of the race, but 21 never let him out of his sight.<\/p>\n

By the halfway point, Kilgore scared Jackson into moving his line. The #25 ripped the top for the majority of the race, but after Kilgore snuck underneath him the lap prior, Jackson dove to the bottom in Turns 1 and 2 to block Kilgore\u2019s momentum. That moved hindered his run off the corner, though, and gave Kilgore another opportunity to pounce.<\/p>\n
