PENTON, Ala. - Jordy Nipper of Gray, Ga. made his maiden voyage with the Chevrolet Performance Super Late Model Series a successful one by driving the Scotty’s Muffler Rocket to victory on Friday night at Penton Raceway in Penton, Ala. Nipper took the lead from his outside front row starting spot at the start of the race and never looked back, leading all 40 laps.
Nipper found the Chevy Super Series to his liking both from a performance and an economical standpoint. Nipper has found that with the Chevrolet Performance Super Late Model Series, it is possible for a driver to spend less and earn more.
“I really like the engines in this series with the Chevrolet Performance Super Late Model Series and our Chevrolet Performance CT 525 Engine gave us good power,” Nipper said. “I’ve been running Limited Late Models for the past few seasons, and we’ve wanted to try this series for a long time. This series is a lot easier on the wallet and we’ll be running the Chevy Super Series a lot more.”
Tyler Crowder finished second after earning the pole position for the race by setting fast time among the 34 entrants with a lap in 14.294 seconds. Chad Wallace of LaGrange, Ga. was third and Chase Edge of LaFayette, Ala. took the fourth spot.
