BUTTONWILLOW, CA - Matt Million and teammate Peter Oneppo take a dramatic class win for GOneppo Racing in Round 5 of NASA WERC at Buttonwillow Raceway.
The three-hour night race also clinched the E2 class championship for GOneppo Racing with a mutual agreement to forfeit the final round at Thunderhill next month.
Peter started the race from class pole out of eight in-class and 11th overall in a field of 30 entries. Pitting from 3rd in-class and handing the car off to Million with one hour and 20 minutes remaining, Million left the pits with over a minute gap behind 1st.
Matt would make a pass for 2nd on the #88 Bitteracing Spec E46 entry with 30 minutes remaining, which put the championship in favor of GOneppo as the two teams went into this race tied in points.
Matt made the pass for 1st with only two laps remaining on the #46 Lucas Racing Spec E46 entry.
Matt wishes to thank GOneppo Racing, BIMMERSPEED, Serenity EHS, and his family/friends for their continued support.
