To win, Chase McDermand was going to have to drive around the fastest car on the racetrack. He\u2019d tried once before and failed, but with the laps winding down and his patience wearing thin, he knew it was time to pull out his best move.<\/p>\n
A slide-job maneuver in Turns 1-2 on Lap 22 was exactly what McDermand was looking for in his pursuit of race-long leader Ashton Torgerson. McDermand pitched the car hard to the left getting into Turn 1 on the bottom and stomped the throttle, drifting up into Torgerson\u2019s lane to take the position.<\/p>\n
A smooth line around the bottom groove in Turns 3-4 sealed the pass for McDermand, and from there on out, it was his race to lose. Torgerson faded back to third while Cannon McIntosh did all he could to reel-in the leader in the final laps, but McDermand was too fast out front as he crossed the stripe to bag the Xtreme Outlaw Midget Series presented by Toyota<\/a> Feature win Friday night at Humboldt Speedway.<\/p>\n
