Jake Finch took advantage of an incident-free race and cruised to his first ARCA Menards Series victory Saturday at Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway.
With the field for the 76-lap race set by owner’s points, Finch started on the pole and had little trouble remaining out front. With no cautions outside of the halftime break, the field remained mostly single file as the laps wound down. Christian Rose was the only driver in the top five that pulled out of line in attempt to challenge Finch in the final two laps but received no help and quickly fell back in line. Finch held on for a 0.
“Terrible burnout but I tried. I’m not too experienced yet but we’ll get there. If I keep running this No. 20 with Shannon, we’ll get a few more.” Finch, the 18-year-old son of former NASCAR team owner James Finch, also credited his spotter, Tyler Monn, for his help in earning the win. “He did a spectacular job. Sometimes he didn’t talk much, and I was like, ‘Man, can you still hear me?’ And he was like, ‘I gotcha.’ I can’t believe we won. It’s super cool. It’s such a good day.
