Rookie Ty Dillon has clearly showned once again that he is the man to beat in the ARCA Racing Series by making an aggressive move on the final restart to win the RainEater Wiper Blades 200 at Michigan International Speedway.

Dillon, 19, went inside on the restart and overtook Max Gresham to take the lead on his way to the victory, his fourth this season.

Cale Gale, who controlled the race leading 72 laps, hit debris, cut a tire and slammed into the turn-4 wall to bring out the caution with five laps to go to set up the last restart.

Dillon, the grandson of Sprint Cup series owner Richard Childress, has a firm hold on the ARCA series driver standings. He has six ARCA victories in 11 starts.

Tim George Jr. finished third - his fourth top-5 in five starts - and Chad Hackenbracht earned another career high, his fourth in five races, by finishing fourth while Chris Buescher finished fifth

Maryeve Dufault's race was cut short as she was involuntary involved in an accident when Tom Hessert crashed on Lap 52 and collected the Canadian rookie.

The ARCA Racing Series returns to action Saturday, June 25, in the Winchester ARCA 200 presented by Federated Auto Parts at Winchester Speedway in Indiana.
