MONTEREY, CA –  A week off from Can-Am Challenge Cup competition by MBI Racing did little to hurt the #24 McLaren driven by Nightmare x24x. The Ohio native racked up pole position and the fastest lap on the way to his 5 ^th win of the season.

The race started with a frenzy of action, with Sunoco Raptor Racing driver BCKracer71 braking late in the Andretti Hairpin to stay close to the race leader. Unfortunately, the #71 Lola was unable to sufficiently slow down and collided with the rear of the race leader, sending the #71 into the gravel. Nightmare would emerge unscathed.

The remainder of the race saw a total of 1 on-track position change (GRD over BCKracer71 for 5 ^th), with Nightmare only sacrificing the race lead for a handful of laps due to a pit stop. The win gives him a 38 point advantage with 3 races remaining, well ahead of the #97 Hulman-Moody McLaren of Murphys Laaawl.

The 1969 Can-Am Challenge Cup will return in two weeks (March 19th ) at 12:00 PM EST, as they head to Upstate New York for round #6 at Watkins Glen.
