ROSEBURG, Ore. — The only thing that Blaine Perkins failed to accomplish in his weekend trip to the Pacific Northwest was winning the General Tire Pole Award Saturday evening. It’s the third career ARCA Menards Series West win for Perkins and his second in 24 hours. Only a brief brief popping-out-of-gear bobble mid-race, which allowed Gracie Trotter to close on his back bumper, tested Perkins. 9 Sunrise Ford/Four Star Fruit Ford crossed the finish line 1.376 seconds ahead of Trotter. Perkins took the lead from pole sitter Geo Scelzi on lap 16 and led the rest of the way. The podium finish allowed Love to keep a one-point lead over Perkins after six events. Trotter and Love’s Bill McAnally Racing teammate Scelzi finished fourth, while Perkins’ Bob Bruncati-owned Sunrise Ford Racing teammate Trevor Huddleston finished fifth.
