Vanacore elevated to first National Championship with gold in Prototype 1
In the SCCA National Championship Runoffs, Todd Vanacore won his first career National Championship in the Prototype 1 race at VIRginia International Raceway. He started on pole position but was involved in a first-lap incident with Jim Devenport, causing him to spin off track. Vanacore dropped to ninth place but made his way back up through the field with a strong restart after a full-course caution. He finished in third place behind Devenport and Chip Romer, but a review of the incident penalized Devenport and promoted Vanacore to first place. This was Vanacore’s sixth career podium and came after his team rebuilt his car following a crash earlier in the season.
