Pancea Takes Honors at Pacific Raceways

Lucian Pancea outgunned pole sitter Larry Vollum to take first place honors in Race 5 of the 2012 F1000 Pro Series presented by Hoosier Racing Tires, Hyperco, Jongbloed Racing Wheels, Geartronics North America, and Elizabeth Jackson Artwork.

Vollum lead the field down to the split start under cold grey skies until Pancea was able to force his way through on the outside of the turn two sweeper. Further back Denis Cosin and John LaBrie had their own wheel-to-wheel deal until Costin slowed with a overheated engine in lap eight leaving LaBrie to cruise unchallenged to a third place finish.
