WEST BURLINGTON, IOWA — Using a mid-race restart and slower traffic to his advantage, Anthony Macri of Dillsburg, Pa., overtook Buddy Kofoid with eight laps remaining to win Tuesday's second round of the inaugural High Limit Sprint Car Series season at 34 Raceway.

Macri earned $23,023 for the victory — his second overall of the season when counting March 26's win in an unsanctioned event at BAPS Motor Speedway in York Haven, Pa. — which comes as the third-richest victory of his Sprint Car career.

Zeb Wise of Angola, Ind., finished second from the 11th-starting spot, 1.420 seconds off Macri's winning pace. Tenth-starting Kyle Larson of Elk Grove, Calif., finished third. Larson lost out on a runner-up finish after pushing his car off the cushion in turns one and two on the final lap in a move for the win that went awry.

Penngrove, Calif.'s Kofoid, who led a race-high 18 laps (laps 10-27), finished seventh. Polesitter Brent Marks of Myerstown, Pa., led laps 1-9 and finished fourth. Brian Brown of Higginsville, Mo., earned the Tezos Hard Charger Award with his 21st-to-ninth run.

Six cautions slowed the 35-lap feature that lasted 35 minutes. Alex Bowman, Ricky Stenhouse Jr., Ian Madsen, and Ryan Timms were among the many drivers that failed to qualify for the main event.

Winning Quote From Anthony Macri

“It's still setting in. I'm sure it'll take a day or two to fully set in. It honestly feels pretty badass to be able to come outside of Pennsylvania, at tracks we haven't been to, or haven't seen, other than a video I watched on the way here today. It feels really rewarding. It feels incredible."

Done this a time or two with @AnthonyMacri7 back in PA.

Now it’s a $23,023 victory on the @HighLimitRacing tour at @34Raceway in Burlington, Iowa, a place Macri had never seen before.
