Scott Winters brings a cool breeze to Husets Speedway as he
claims night four of Thunder through the Plains
By Kelly Brown Public Relations Director
CAMARGO, IL (August 1) - Sometimes it feels like the world is against you
and on other nights it seems like the stars align and even with your
mistakes you come out on top. It was one of those nights for Scott Winters
who collected his first OReilly All Star Circuit of Champions victory on the
fourth night of Thunder through the Plains racing action at Husets Speedway
in Brandon, SD.
If it hadnt been for the misfortune of another, Winters may have not ended
his night celebrating in Victory Lane. As the result of the 16 of Jake
Peters withdrawing from the main event because of engine troubles, Winters
took his place in the pick six and inherited the outside pole from Peters.
At the drop of the Green Flag Winters got the jump over pole sitter Gary
Wright and jetted out into the early lead. Wright, Tim Shaffer, and Tim
Kaeding would fall in line. Just as Kaeding had executed a pass on Shaffer
to take over the third position misfortune struck. On Lap 4 the Yellow Flag
came out when Kaeding came to a stop on the backstretch. Seeing that his
driveline was broke the Red Flag came out quickly to assess Kaedings
condition.
When race action resumed Winters got a jump on Wright and continued to pull
out a sizable lead over the rest of the field. The Yellow Flag would fly
again on Lap 15 when Brandon Wimmer encountered trouble when the suspension
broke on the right rear. This would end the Rookie-of-the-Year hopefuls
night.
When the Green Flag was unfurled again Winters picked up where he left off
in the lead. The battle at this point of the event was for the fourth
position. Shaffer had it and Sam Hafertepe Jr. was on his bumper. Hafertepe
would jump to his inside to pick up the four spot.
With 12 laps to go the 9x of Wright would catch up to Winters to challenge
for the lead, but Winters would hold on. Wright would size up Winters again,
but just as it appeared Wright had the position a lapped car would get out
of shape. Wright and Winters would get off the throttle to avoid the car
that almost looped it around, but saved it. This would allow Winters to hold
on to the lead and drive off to the win.
At the finish line it was Winters picking up his first OReilly All Star
Circuit of Champions victory with a commanding lead. Wright would go on to
finish second with Hafertepe, Bruce and Shaffer rounding out the Top-5.
There were a couple hard chargers on a track that was difficult to pass on.
Rookie-of-the-Year contender Daron Clayton was able to pick up eleven spots
from his starting position to finish sixth. Robby Wolfgang was also on the
move starting 23rd and finishing one spot outside of the top-10 when the
Checkered Flag flew.
The other competition that was on the track tonight was the wheelie
competition for the drivers of the All Star Circuit of Champions. The 1 of
Troy Meyer would go on to win the contest with Greg Wilson in the second
when it came to executing the perfect wheel stand.
The final night of Thunder through the Plains takes the Checkered Flag
tomorrow night for a second evening of race action at Husets Speedway.
Sunday night August 2nd racing will start at 7:00 pm. At the gate tickets
