Phelps King at Five Mile Point

Jimmy Phelps became the first repeat winner of the 2013 RoC Dirt Tour season with his win on Tuesday night at Five Mile Point Speedway.

Phelps was able to sneak passed Danny Johnson for the lead towards the half way point of the 60-lap feature, and was untouchable the rest of the way as he went on to pick up the $6,000 victory. Here's how the top-5 ended up...

Five Mile Point Speedway (RoC Dirt Tour $6,000 to win)
1st 98H Jimmy Phelps
2nd 19v Bobby Varin
3rd 51 Mike Colsten
4th 1 Stewart Friesen
5th 91 Billy Decker

Danny Johnson, making his first start aboard the Adam MacGeorge #86, crossed the line in 2nd after leading early, but was disqualified for being light on the scales.

Bobby Varin stretched his RoC Dirt Tour points lead with his second place finish as Matt Sheppard dropped out late in the event, and Friesen came home

The win was the third RoC win of Phelps's career.

There were guaranteed starting spots available for the top-15 cars. All I know is that Phelps took Fulton Speedway's Outlaw 200 starting spot, and Bobby Varin chose Five Mile Point's Short Track SuperNationals starting spot. When RoC and/or Five Mile Point release the rest of the choices, I'll post them here.
