"It was a really challenging race; the track was tricky," said Flores. "We just worked on this thing all day and it definitely paid off."
Briggs Danner finished third after starting tenth in pursuit of a $4,500 bonus from Ironton Global. Anthony Sesely and Shawn Nye rounded out the top five. Danner had earlier secured the E. Schneider & Sons Fast Time Award with a lap of 7.795 seconds.
