Nascimento wins race, Erickson wins Madera Speedway title

Ethan Nascimento outmatched Derek Thorn for a $10,000 haul in the 12th annual Short Track Shootout 200 for the Madera Pro Late Model Series at Madera Speedway.

Matt Erickson persevered through early race issues to come-from-behind to win the series championship, his third MAVTV-televised crown at the one-third mile speedway on October 19.

Nascimento became the first former 51FIFTY Jr. Late Model Series champion to prevail in the Pro Late Model Short Track Shootout, and gave his family-owned team their fourth Shootout crown combined with three wins earned by Hall of Famer Eric Holmes.
