Justin Lamb didn’t need to win another race to validate his dual world championships, but it didn’t hurt his confidence to pick up an early-season victory. After a disheartening Pomona race that resulted in a pair of early exits, Lamb worked his way through Super Stock eliminations in his Chevy Cobalt, using a string of .01 and .02 lights to reach the final. Facing three-time national event winner Mike Cotton and his GT/KA ’70 Barracuda, Lamb grabbed a sizable lead at the start and collected his third Phoenix title.
