#6 Semi-Pro Jake Armstrong: Front runner Jake Armstrong was wondering if he'd ever get a Thursday Thunder victory. Now he has two in row. The White #6 and Red #18 of Luke Behnke battled for 20 exciting laps at Thursday Thunder on July 8th. The persistent Behnke got close a couple of times but Armstrong held him off for his second victory in a row. Jake Armstrong spoke highly of Benke in his victory speech to the Thunder Crowd stating he raced me hard, but clean. These two back to back victories have catapulted Armstrong back into the Semi-Pro point’s race. He now is only 1 point out of the #29 Mike Weed with 3 races to go this summer.
