King, Vik & Nicol sweep Kyosho Fall Classic

Kyosho drivers Cody King, Tyler Vik, and privateer Jeff Nicol made it a Kyosho 1-2-3 sweep in the Truggy class at the Kyosho Fall Classic last weekend. Cody King had TQ, but an early race tangle near the starting grid surrendered the lead to Kyosho driver Ryan Lutz. Lutz lead the majority of the main, but King maintained pressure, and slowly chipped away at the leaders cushion. After the final pit stops, the two were side by side on the track, and then King took control with about 5 minutes to go. With King a mere 10 seconds ahead, and only 3 minutes to go, Lutz had a mechanical problem, and dropped out. Lutz still had accumulated enough laps to land in 5th place.
