The traditional 222 was not on the side of the car,but rather the Terminator 0 in a car dubbed the “Stealth Car ” and at the end of the evening was sitting in victory lane.

The Triple Deuce team work all winter putting this all new race car together and were not sure what to expect the first night on the race track. The 0 started fifth in the 8 lap an as running second going for the lead slid high to miss contact with the leader and lost a position to finish third in the heat. The redraw for the 20 lap feature had Dunn starting third and as the green flag was waived the Stealth tealth 0 had the lead coming out of turn two and set a blistering pace and in the process set the Raceway 7 E-Mod track record with a time of 19.209 seconds. Dunn lead all 20 laps giving the Clinger Built Team and the Stealth 0 their first victory of the 2012 season.
