After an extended wait for rains to pass through the area, the third race of the 2013 CARS X-1R Pro Cup Series finally is in the books! Despite leading the majority of the race in his first Pro Cup race since the 2010 season, veteran Mark McFarland saw his hopes of a win disappear on the last lap of the MAHLE 250.
When the field took the final green flag, and a green-white-checker situation at that, Clay Rogers made a last lap pass on the outside to take the win away. It was Rogers' 3rd straight win to start the 2013 season and the 33rd of Rogers' Pro Cup career.
A complete race report will be coming soon.

Speed is There, Now Wilson Hoping to Put Total Package Together in Mahle 250
Mooresville, NC 5/13/13 – After getting washed out at Anderson Motor Speedway two weeks prior, the drivers and teams of the X-1R Pro Cup Series will turn their attention to the track deemed the “concrete jungle”, Kingsport Speedway in Kingsport, Tennessee. The Friday night event will be the series first of two visits to the 3/8th mile concrete track throughout the 2013 season. Unlike the first two events of the season, where series regulars battled amongst themselves to decide a race winner, this weekend’s MAHLE 250 will see at least a pair of area regulars make their bid to take home the $10,000 winner’s check. Blake Jones, driving for last year’s winner Wade Day, and Coleman Pressley, son of track owner Robert Pressley, have both filed entries with plans to give series regulars a “run for their money” once the green flag waives.
