Maifield Stops the Robbers Hat Trick - Wins Pro Buggy at CRCRC Midwest Nitro Champs

0 Jan. 23, 2011, 9:37 a.m.

After going 2 for 2 in Pro Arena Truck and Electric Buggy, Jesse Robbers was looking to make it a clean sweep of the 2011 CRCRC Midwest Nitro Championships with a victory in the premiere class - Pro Buggy. Ryan Maifield thought otherwise though, and he stopped Robbers from making the 2011 CRCRC Midwest Nitro Championships a clean sweep. Maifield and Robbers went neck-and-neck in Pro Arena Truck all the way to the wire, and the duo didn't disappoint fans in the Pro Buggy class - they did the same thing for the first 40 minutes of the 45 minute main, swapping leads numerous times. With about 5 minutes remaining, Maifield was able to stretch out a cushion of about 10 seconds...not enough to be "checked out, gone," but still enough to be comfortable and drive conservatively to secure the win.

When the clock finally hit zero, it was Maifield taking the win over Robbers by approximately 15 seconds, claiming the first major Pro Buggy class win of 2011.
