KEY MOMENTS
This was the hottest weekend of the year at 103°F (40°C)
Joey spent all 17 laps of Race 1 defending from championship rival Christian Hoagland to finish P2
On Sunday Joey took advantage of a red flag restart while running in P4 to jump to the lead and get his 3rd NASA win of the season
“Going into this weekend I knew it would be a huge challenge with the heat. To walk away with a P1 and P2 and extend our championship lead was exactly what we needed after 3 races off the podium.”
