Luke Knupp took advantage of a strong start after a 12-truck inversion, grabbed the lead, and never looked back in the 12-lap main event of the Jim Beaver eSports eShort Course Pro 4 Triple Crown race at Bark River International Raceway. It was Knupp\u2019s second race victory in eShort Course competition after also winning at Crandon International Raceway last fall. Although a berth in the 2022 eShort Course World Cup was on the line for the winner, Knupp had already guaranteed his spot in the marquee event through a top five performance in this year\u2019s event.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Jim Beaver eSports\u2019 Cameron Pedersen, the 2020 eShort Course World Cup champion, was second, charging through the field from 12th<\/sup> place on the grid after the invert and making up multiple seconds on Knupp in the final laps of the race. Mason Prater finished third, giving himself a path to another World Cup invitation with two more podiums in subsequent 2021 eShort Course events.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

The 36-truck field was split evenly among two heat races and two last chance qualifiers, with the top six in each session making up the 24-truck final grid. Pedersen and JBeS teammate Brandyn Proudfoot scored the heat wins, while Ethan Ebert made a last-lap pass on William Buth to score the first LCQ win and Tristan Deluret led all but one lap in the other.<\/div>\n
