RYAN FLORES CRUISES TO NAPA KNOW HOW GAMBLER’S CLASSIC VICTORY IN ATLANTIC CITY, OUTRUNS TIM BUCKWALTER AND BRIGGS DANNER TO SCORE SECOND STRAIGHT INDOOR AUTO RACING SERIES WIN AND TAKE POINT LEAD; DAN MARSDEN AND JARED SILFEE ARE CHAMP KART AND SLINGSHOT VICTORS

 ATLANTIC CITY, NJ JANUARY 30, 2022 . . . Ryan Flores took advantage of a crash 25 laps into the TQ Midget NAPA KNOW HOW Gambler’s Classic 40-lap feature Saturday night that took out leaders Erick Rudolph and Andy Jankowiak, then held off a late race bid on the final lap of the race by Tim Buckwalter to earn his second straight Indoor Auto Racing Series win of 2022 and his second career Gambler’s Classic. Flores’ first Classic win was in 2018.

 Flores was running third behind the two leaders when a battle for the top spot ended with Jankowiak and Rudolph spinning. Rudolph, who stopped, restarted at the back of the field while Jankowiak, who did not, was penalized and sent to the rear for his role in the accident

 That opened the door for Flores who still had to fend off challenges from Tim Buckwalter, Briggs Danner, Matt Janisch and Rudolph who completed the top five.  Janisch’s march from 25th at the start earned him Hard Charger recognition in the race.

 Scott Kreutter, Joey Bailey, Ryan Bartlett, Tyler Thompson and Mike Bednar, who started 23rd, comprised the top ten.

 First time Champ Kart entrant Dan Marsden beat Logan Crisafulli, Mike Perry, Jon Keister and Todd Crenshaw to win the 25-lap Champ Kart feature while Brett Bieber, Jared Silfee and Scott Nearly were the top three in the 25-lap Slingshot feature. The trio duplicated their exact efforts in the Indoor Auto Racing Series opener in Allentown, PA January 8.

 Ryan Flores is The Indoor Auto Racing Series point leader as they move to the finale on Friday and Saturday, March 11-12, 2022 in Syracuse, NY. Series champions in all three classes will be named after the events.

 The Boardwalk Hall events were run off as scheduled with a large and enthusiastic crowd on hand despite a winter storm that made travel difficult.
