Pumpelly on ARCA, “We’ll talk about it over a beer sometime.” at Sixth Gear

The Mitts were off in final laps

Well the last 3 laps of the race had mitts off and knuckles bared as The South Jersey Home Builders 150 drew to a close. Pumpelly’s official comment is, “We’ll talk about it over a beer sometime.”

Patrick Long (video)& Spencer Pumpelly are series nOObs but veteran road racers. They come to the series in search of a more financially rewarding career that this feeder series may offer. Their presence marks a problem for the points leaders as their ‘ringer’ status robs valuable championship points and leads to nasty track etiquette in the final turns. So much in fact, that there were 5 position changes by the top 3 cars in the last few laps.

The ARCA post race reports, “My run in ARCA was unbelievable,” said Pumpelly. “I had such a good time here. I had a great time with the cars, the drivers that I have met here have been great and all of the teams, the officials really enjoyed

my time here and I appreciate everyone being so welcoming. Also it was my first time with the TRG guys in the stock car side. I’ve worked a lot with their sports car teams and we do a lot with the Motorsports guys in sports cars as well as the TRG guys, two different companies that kind of work together. This is my first time on the stock car side with all of those guys-phenomenal job they did. I can’t say enough. Hope I get to do more. Not sure if I will get the opportunity sooner or later but I’ll be trying.”

Spotter Andy Lally was keeping us up to date on Pumpelly’s track action. Post race, he commented, “…sorry, it was way more busy then I thought and I think we only had 3 yellows, they were using me for info way more than I expected….Spence did a great job of knocking a guy out of the way that had rudely punted him out of third with half a lap remaining. He got back under him with 3 turns to go and moved him a little off line. It just happened to be the points leader so it kinda made it a big deal…”

Just like Murry did to Lally back in Mexico City 2005…..rubbin’ is racin’ as they say in NASCAR.
