FLAT ROCK, Mich. – Frank Jiovani won the 50-lap ARCA Moran Chevrolet Late Model feature to open the season Saturday at Michigan’s Flat Rock Speedway.

Jiovani won the ARCA Moran Chevrolet Late Model feature over Craig Everage, Dennis Strickland, Jeff Vrsek and Steve Cronenwett Jr. A lap-47 incident between race leader Paul Pelletier and Justin Schroeder brought out the yellow, with both drivers going to the tail of the field.

Jiovani, who started 10th, took the point and zipped to the win. Chris Benson, Pelletier, Schroeder, rookie Connor Zbozien and Joe Hawes completed the top 10. Jiovani also set fast time at 11:666 seconds.

By lap eight of the ARCA DTS Drive Train Specialists Street Stock A Main, half of the 20-car field had ended their nights due to on-track incidents. Fast qualifier Greg Studt was in the lap four melee, which brought out the red flag. Studt pitted, while Clarity Patton, Jeff Metdepenningen and Kyle Worley retired for night with damage to their machines.

Studt, restarting 16th, went to the high side and slowly picked off car after car, grabbing the lead with four to go on his way to the win. Arnold Kirsch took second, rookie Ethan Stadniczuk, who also came from the tail and followed Studt’s tracks, used the high groove and got all the way to third at the stripe in a great drive.

It was all Billy Earley for 15 laps of the ARCA Victory Lane Quick Oil Change Figure 8 feature, but the race was 20 laps. Earley’s shut-off switch shut down the engine as the defending champ coasted off the Figure 8 course.

Dennis Whisman inherited the lead and scored the win. Whisman’s night started off on a sour note, as he broke something in qualifying and slammed the wall. The crew worked all the way to the feature to get him back out on the track.

Joe Vanderhoof was second, James Vanderhoof third, Dave Lambert fourth and Dennis Whisman Jr. fifth.
