After resetting the Pro Fuel world record on Saturday, Evans entered Sunday seeking an Ironman and did just that with a win over Saturday winner Jeff Hamelink to pick up his sixth career victory.

Evans ran a 5.497, 218.02 in the final to cap a tremendous weekend for the “Black Pearl” crew. Hamelink ran a 5.514, 252.76 in the runner-up spot.

“We had a great weekend, but I will admit that we couldn’t have done it without the help of that ‘Shredder’ crew. We really hurt the car on our first run and they came over and pitched in and helped put this thing back together,” Evans said. “That says a lot about the caliber of people we have out here competing. We only have three people helping us out and putting this back together in a little over an hour wasn’t going to happen.

“They simply came over and asked what they could help with. Here we are battling each other in the points and they help get us a win. That was pretty cool.”

With only one race remaining the battle couldn’t be tighter between Evans, Hamelink and Mike Manners in the Pro Fuel standings entering next month’s Nitro Jam World Finals in Virginia. And with records breaking each weekend, it could all come down to a single pass in October.

“We have the record for now, but who knows how long that will hold up. We were talking with Mike yesterday before the run and he says they have a better shot at setting the record in Virginia. That is scary when you think about it,” Evans said. “Who knows? It might come down to another record or sweeping both races. All I know is it is about to get interesting.”

After a red light on Saturday prevented him from the finals, Evans reversed his fortunes on Sunday with an opening round shot of 5.341, 253.80 to place himself in his sixth final of the year. Hamelink filled the other spot with another upset of Manners and his best pass of the weekend at 5.438, 268.38.
