Purkey Wins Kuntz Memorial
SPRINGFIELD. MO (May14, 2011) - Purkey wires the field to take back to back
wins with the Lucas Oil MLRA! Fresh off of his win in Jetmore, Kansas, Al
Purkey parked his 33 Purkey Auto Salvage, Shaw with a Hatfield Racing Engine
in the AAA Missouri Victory Lane. Purkey led the race from green to checkers
with challengers on his tail for each restart.
With Terry Phillips and Jesse Stovall battling for second position for much
of the race Purkey was able to gain a comfortable lead under green. A late
race caution brought the field back to Purkey's bumper. The caution also
gave Stovall a chance to slide into second, but the 00 could not complete
the lap in the position before the Andy's Frozen Custard #75 GRT by Phillips
was back in second. As the intense fight for second continues, the 21 of
Billy Moyer moved from his 16th place starting position into the top five.
Moyer cruised by Looney, Sullivan and Stovall before falling into his
finishing place behind Phillips.
The annual John Kuntz Memorial race at Springfield Raceway on Saturday
night, drew a field of 38 super late models. Even with unseasonably cool
weather, fans packed into the stands for the Andy's Frozen Custard sponsored
event.
Heat winners included, Brad Looney, Matt Johnson, Jesse Stovall, Jack
Sullivan and race winner Al Purkey. B Feature wins went to Jeremy Payne and
Billy Moyer.
