This year’s Caribbean On-road Nationals in Puerto Rico saw a very good turn out of drivers. Due to the worldwide Coronavirus pandemic and to keep safe distance, only six drivers would qualify directly to the mains and one bump-up from the lower mains would make for a seven driver grid. The Nitro Sedan qualifying saw Franco Machado (Infinity/Max Power) taking the TQ from Guillermo Camacho (Capricorn/Max Power) 2nd and Juan C. Aguirre (Infinity/Ielasi Tuned) in 3rd. The A-main started with all drivers completing the first lap without incidents, and by the second lap Juan C. Aguirre passed Guillermo Camacho, allowing Aguirre to stay close to Machado. On lap 29 Franco Machado had a flame which promoted Aguirre into 1st place, a position he would hold onto all the way to the end of the race. So the final result saw Juan C. Aguirre (Infinity/Ielasi Tuned) with the win from Ivan Garcia (Mugen/O.S. Speed) in 2nd and Carlos Torres (Infinity/ O.S. Speed) in 3rd.
