Brody Goble completed a perfect weekend at Portland International Raceway, sweeping both races of the CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series with another dominant drive in Race 2. Piloting the No. 69 Brown Bros. Ford Lincoln Ford Mustang, Goble led from start to finish with another commanding performance, extending his championship lead with his fourth win in five races. Second-place starter Jack Perkins (No. 19 Nitro Motorsports Toyota Camry) held the runner-up position for more than half of the race, but on lap 33 he was forced to retire due to a clutch failure. Third-place starter Jade Avedisian (No. 10 Nitro Motorsports Toyota Camry) took over second when her Australian teammate went to the paddock, leaving her to contend with another teammate, Mia Lovell (No. 40 Nitro Motorsports Ford Mustang), for second place. After a tight contest where the two ran just a car length apart in the closing laps, Avedisian was able to hold onto second despite losing her shifter knob, while Lovell rounded out the podium, continuing her consistent campaign in the Western Championship points battle. Cole Moore (No. 99 Moore Motorsport/JM Environmental Ford Mustang) finished fourth, and Seamus McKendree secured a top-five finish in his No. 20 Nitro Motorsports Ford Mustang.
“Everything went to plan this entire weekend,” said Goble while accepting his trophy. “We unloaded the Brown Bros. Racing Ford Mustang from TeamSLR and M1 and we really didn’t make a ton of changes all weekend long. It just was fine tuning on Friday and we felt like we were in a good spot. In both races, the Nitro guys and gals raced pretty hard on those first few laps and we just kept our head down and didn’t drive it off or do anything dumb. It was an awesome weekend. It’s so cool to do the doubleheader and get both of them. Hats off to my team for putting me into a reliable car.”
