SPRINGPORT, Mich. — Sarah Fisher made it two for two in the ARCA Auto Value Midget Series after winning the 30-lap event July 1, 1999 at Springport Speedway.
The young talented second-generation driver overhauled Gene Lee Gibson on the 22nd circuit to take the lead and her second career ARCA midget victory in as many attempts.
Defending champion and current point leader Gibson finished second, ahead of Ronnie Johncox, Dave Baumgartner and Travis Welpot.
Polesitter Jerry Nemire led at the onset while all-time ARCA midget winner Jim Hettinger gave chase. Nemire managed to hold off Hettinger until there was contact between the two on the 16th lap. The incident brought out the caution flag and sent both veteran drivers to the tail end for the restart.
