Mike Bellotti wins at Saturday Money Race

The Mills Pond RC Speedway Saturday Money Race was held this past weekend and after two quick qualifiers it was Mike Bellotti II in the TQ spot in Pro E-Buggy. The start of the main went very well for the pole sitter with Mike getting out to a slight lead at the start. Bellotti made a small bottle at one point and that allowed young Alex Mac to get in the mix. He stayed out front of Mike for a good while, the whole time Bellotti remained pretty close until unfortunately Alex had some bad luck in the mechanical department, causing him to finish the race a little early. At this point Mike Bellotti could basically turn the cruise control on and coast his way to the win. Jesus Diaz came in 2nd in Pro E-Buggy as Rob Romano rounded out the top 3 results.
