"This certainly puts me in the hunt," said Whibley. "This is a good way to come back out and at least I know I'm on pace with these guys. I feel good, the bike is good and everything went well."

With two laps to go, Whibley made his move for the lead, taking the position from DuVall. A lap later, DuVall stalled his bike, letting Strang go by, and the top three positions were set.

Whibley took the win a good 20 seconds ahead of Strang, with DuVall getting the checkers another nine seconds back.

"We were passing back and forth for most of the race," said Whibley. "Strang upped the pace late in the race and I had to pick it up too. I was able to get the lead at the two-second board and I just rode a steady race after that."
