Andrew Ranger certainly makes the most of his opportunities in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West.
Ranger won the iON Camera Utah Grand Prix at Miller Motorsports Park in only his second start of the season in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West.
Cameron Hayley and Greg Pursley Running Side By Side
He started from the back of the field after rain washed out qualifying and raced to the front to win the second NASCAR K&N Pro Series West race of his career in a green-white-checkered flag finish.
"We had a different strategy," Ranger said. "We pitted a little too early. We came in the pits a second time to put fuel in. We were like seventh at that point, pushing really hard."
Derek Thorn won the pole and led the first 11 laps of the race. He gave way to Cameron Hayley on lap 12. Hayley led the most laps in the race, 19, but he slipped down the field after making contact with Ranger at the end of the race.
Greg Pursley took the lead from Hayley on lap 22 and was out front for 16 laps.
"Got a flat again. It's been I think the last three or four races in a row we've got a flat leading," Pursley said. "The guys did an awesome pit stop. We came in and changed a tire, they were really fast. Got us out there and thank goodness we got a yellow."
Hayley regained the lead on lap 38 before Ranger finally made it to the front.
Ranger, a two-time champion in the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series, passed Hayley on lap 47 and led the final six laps of the race. He made contact with Hayley on lap 47. The collision resulted in Hayley spinning out and dropping out of contention.
Fierce competition is the name of the game during a NASCAR K&N Pro Series Race
"With three to go, I had contact with the 24 car (Hayley)," Ranger said. "It surprised me a lot. That's why I turned left really quick. I hit him a little bit. I spun him. I'm very, very sorry about it."
Pursley, who won the previous three races at Miller Motorsports Park, held on for second place in the race.
"Andrew did a good job of squeezing us over there and got us in the dirt a little bit," Pursley said. "Got it in gear and got it back in second place, and just didn't have enough there."

Rookie Dylan Lupton was third. It was his fourth top-10 finish in 11 races in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West.
"We were there at the end," Lupton said. "I think we had a car to win. We needed at least another two to three laps. It took us a while to get it back up to speed. It was overall a great race."
Michael Self was fourth, followed by rookie Matt Tifft in fifth.
Hayley ended up in sixth place while Thorn came in ninth.
Thorn leads the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West standings by 19 points over Hayley with four races remaining. Pursley is in third place in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West standings, one point ahead of Self.
The next race in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West is the NAPA Auto Parts 150 at NAPA Speedway in Albuquerque, N.M., on September 28, 2013.

The Dodge Dart was well known as an affordable and compact family car back in the 60s and 70s. Incidentally, when it was discontinued back in 1976, it was not expected to make a comeback. Well that changed when Dodge released the Dart in 2013. Dodge did a great job of keeping the Dart affordable as before while updating the overall look, feel and performance to a much more modern design for today's drivers. Once such update to the 2013 to 2014 Dodge Dart was the option to go with a1.4 liter Multiair Turbo engine. This impressive turbo has a factory rating of 160 horsepower and 184 ft-lbs of torque.

Mitchell DeJong made history with his X Games Silver Medal, becoming the youngest driver ever to reach the GRC podium
Most 15-year-olds are only just beginning the struggle to find a comfortable identity that fits them. And the search for mileposts or clues regarding a direction they might grow into over the duration can take years, including plenty of wrong turns into teenaged crazy town. Mitchell DeJong however appears to have found a loophole in the uncertainty of that development process. For a good long while now, DeJong has been fully aware that he is destined to be a racer. A really gifted racer. Since 2007 he has in fact accumulated nine total championships in just six seasons, putting him on pace to be one of the winningest off-road drivers of all time. Global Rallycross (GRC) and racing in the X Games has long been a dream for DeJong, and now he has already crossed both of those off his to-do list.
Built by top Rallycross preparer OlsbergsMSE, Mitchell DeJong's Lites produces 310 Horsepower
At the inaugural Global Rallycross Lites final at the X Games in Los Angeles, California, DeJong inked his name in the history books by winning the Silver Medal, and becoming the youngest Global Rallycross driver to ever earn a tier on the X Games podium.
"I was just so stoked to be invited to compete in X Games. It seemed so surreal, because I've wanted to race a Rallycross car in the X Games events ever since it started," said DeJong. "During the race week it really just seemed like another race to me. This was only my second time racing this car and I was just hoping to not make any mistakes. It wasn't until after the race, during the medal ceremony, when they presented me with the Silver Medal that it really hit me. I was taking home the Silver! It felt pretty awesome, and not just for me, but for my whole team. It's a total team effort, Borne Olsson and the Olsbergs crew, my parents and the sponsors who've believed in me. It's so great to see that look of triumph in the faces of my team.
DeJong and Olsbergs' MSE GRC Lites mechanic, Bjorn, tuned the front suspension of the No.24 Red Bull GRC Lite right before his heat race, and the adjustment paid off big time. The K&N sponsored driver was able to post the fastest lap time of both heats, as he easily advanced to the first ever X Games GRC Lites Final.
With an outside starting position for the Final, DeJong understood that he needed to get a great start to have any chance at a medal in the intense eight car field. When the green lights flashed DeJong held his line wide around turns one and two, positioning himself to take over the 4th position coming out of turn three. Then using the "Joker Lap" option, which is available only once per race, he was able to slide his car two more positions into 2nd place. Once DeJong was in clean air, he began to shave a second per lap off the lead until high engine temperatures forced the car into cool-mode, limiting the motors full rpm range. DeJong however maintained his composure and he had enough power to hold onto 2nd place for his very first X Games Silver Medal.
Mitchell DeJong says he'll stay with Rallycross for a while because it includes all the disciplines of racing that he enjoys
"Rallycross combines the best racing challenges using multiple terrains, basically all of my racing worlds wrapped in to one. I love it!" declares DeJong. "On-road, off-road, jumps, short course, and head-to- head racing in this Rallycross Lites car has been the most fun racing I've done so far."
We asked DeJong how his dream race career would take shape under ideal conditions?
"This is the question I'm asked the most. Because I like the challenges and competition of different types of racing, it's pretty hard for me to just pick one. I'd like to keep Rallycross racing, it's so new to me, different than anything I've raced before and it's always a new challenge on the track with the multiple surface changes in a single race. I really love road course racing too, and if I had the opportunity, I'd love to drive an F1 car.
Next up on Mitchell DeJong's race calendar is The Dirt Track in North Carolina on September 22 2013, when the Global Rallycross series returns to Charlotte Motor Speedway.
