— It wasn’t the dominating, championship coronation performance of a year ago, but Friday’s win at Dover Int’l Speedway was just as satisfying for Sam Mayer. It is Mayer’s ninth win over the ARCA Menards, East and West series since his 2018 debut. Last year’s Dover win in the East came under the NASCAR banner. Mayer entered the day with a one-point lead over Gibbs, who won the General Tire Pole Award in qualifying Friday. Mayer moved Gibbs out of the way and powered by to take the lead. NASCAR Cup Series driver David Gilliland, in a second car for his DGR-Crosley team, finished second — 2.330 seconds back of Mayer.
