Challenge of the Americas CalSpeed 2019

APM Racing Rok Shifter Masters Saturday It was zero to hero in Shifter Masters Rok with Rod Clinard (CRG) storm- ing his way throughout the day to the victory. A missing transponder cost him a timed lap in qualifying, and started from 14th in the Prefinal. The CRG Nordam driver climbed his way up to third, and moved up to the second spot on the grid after Prefinal winner Nick Firestone (Ruthless / DR Kart) was docked 10 seconds for avoidable contact with Vivek Tandon (DR Kart). Clinard grabbed the holeshot and drove away in the Final to a four-second advantage. Firestone won the battle for second over Tandon to complete the podium with Nathan Stewart (Sodi Kart) fourth and Prefi- nal winner Michael Guasch (GFC) fifth. NICK FIRESTONE VIVEK TANDON
