May 13th, 2012 - After more than his fair share of bad luck to start the season, Dustin was finally able to get things pointed in the right direction on Sunday night as he raced to the Super Late Model feature win at Quincy Raceway (Quincy, Illinois). A solid field of twenty Super Late Models entered the event, and Griffin began his night by racing from the seventh starting spot to claim the win in the first heat race, which locked him into the Summy Tire & Auto Dash. In the dash he claimed the win as well, which resulted in him starting on the pole of the feature event with Jason Perry starting alongside of him. As the 30 lap, race went green Griffin bolted to the lead and never looked back on his way to leading the entire event to claim his first feature win of the 2012 season! Mark Burgtorf, Denny Woodworth, Justin Reed, and Brian Diveley rounded out the top five finishers. Full results are available at www.QuincyRaceways.com.
