Janis has clearly found a new home, and with his second win in three races, it is clear that happy days are here again for the Lancaster, N.Y.-based racer.

“We had a couple of lucky breaks along the way,” said Janis as he described his day which included a final round bye run. “We were in the 3.80s all day long and at times struggled with the race track. We just struggled in finding the right clutch combination for the race track.”
