By Anthony Caruso III | Publisher Race car driver Erick Rudolph won the 40-lap Gambler’s Classic at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey on Saturday night. With the win, Rudolph received the $5,000 first-place prize. “I wasn’t sure about it, to be honest,” Rudolph said of the win. “I knew it was very close.” Rudolph held off Zane Zeiner — who won one of the four A-Main Qualifiers on Friday night — was the second-place finisher. Zeiner was 0.012 seconds behind Rudolph. The 0.012 seconds distance is the closest in the history of the Indoor Auto Racing Series. “He (Rudolph) made one little mistake there at the end and I was right there,” Zeiner said. “Someday soon, I am going to win one of these things.” Matt Janisch was the third-place finisher. Janisch finished out the podium, as he was 0.263 seconds behind Rudolph. Jimmy Blewett — who was passed by Justin Bonsignore in the first A-Main qualifier — was fourth. He was 0.598 seconds behind Rudolph. Mike Lichty rounded out the top five.
