(Bakersfield, CA) Heartbreak could be a characteristic word to describe Saturday’s race event at Buttonwillow Raceway Park for Austin Varco in the #121 Spec Miata. In a no-stops-barred war between Evan Jacobs, David Varco, and Austin Varco for the win, the lead position changed 14 times in 5 laps nearing the white flag. A 0.7-second margin between the three competitors meant it was anyone’s race when the white flag dropped. What couldn’t be expected was Austin Varco disappearing to a distant 7th, crossing the line pushing his car in pit-lane, running out of fuel three corners from the flag. Evan Jacobs won by less than half a second trailed by David Varco. Softening the blow, Austin Varco set a new official lap record at Buttonwillow proving that you have to accept small wins when you get them.
