LONG, WOOD,
DEUTSCH, HOVDEN TRIUMPH IN PEPSI MEMPHIS NATIONALS OPENER
MEMPHIS, Mo. (Nov. 6)
– Fans were treated to a picture perfect night Friday as the Scotland County
Speedway hosted the first of two days comprising the Pepsi Memphis
Nationals. And for fans and competitors alike, the racing surface at
3/8-mile semi-banked clay oval was flawless despite the track sitting
dormant the entire 2009 season prior to Friday's big event.
USRA Hobby Stocks got the main
event action going, and Chris Hovden kept his career-best season going by
topping the 15-lap feature race. The 2009 USRA Hobby Stock National Champion
made the long tow from Cresco, Iowa, pay off as he came from the 12th
starting position to claim the checkered flag Friday night.
Hovden survived several
late-race caution flags, including one with four laps to go that found
second-, third- and fourth-place running Scott Spilde, Clayton Crump and
Jason McDaniel piling up in turn 1.
Andrew Hustead held on for the
runner-up finish, holding off 19th-starting Todd Reitzler. Spilde rebounded
to claim the fourth spot with Steve Allen rounding out the top-5 finishers.
In the USRA Karl Chevrolet
B-Mod main event, Jeoff Olson secured the lead on lap 3 and built a big
advantage over the chasing pack during the next six laps. The yellow flag
waved with seven laps to go, wiping out Olson's advantage. After the
restart, Colter Deutsch shot from fourth to second during the first orbit,
then blasted ahead of Olson one lap later.
Deutsch, who traveled more
than seven hours from his hometown of Ellsworth, Minn., went unchallenged
the rest of the way to claim the victory. Olson held on for second, with
Brad Iverson coming home third. Veteran Bert McDaniel was fourth and Bobby
Penney crossed beneath the checkered flag in fifth.
Nathan Wood's chance at one
win ended earlier in the program when the rearend of his machine broke while
running up front in the USRA Hobby Stock main event. Wood, however, polished
off what might have been his second win of the night when he bested Matt
Greiner in a thrilling 20-lap USRA Karl Chevrolet Stock Car feature race.
Wood came from the 12th
starting spot to garner the winner's share of the prize money while Greiner
wound up right where he started in second place. Kurt Krauskopf finished a
close third, Dave Warth claimed the fourth position and Mike Van Genderen
held on for a fifth-place paycheck.
The USRA Modifieds brought the
most entries to the opening night of the Pepsi Memphis Nationals, and they
delivered an action-packed 25-lap feature to close the curtain on the
evening's races. Michael Long of Quincy, Ill., is no stranger to the
Scotland County Speedway, and he got reacquainted with victory lane after
leading every lap of Friday night's feature.
Long disposed of polesitter
Mark Schulte at the drop of the green flag. Meanwhile, Ryan Gustin quickly
moved from his third row starting spot to take over second place on the
fourth lap but could not close the gap between himself and Long.
A caution flag midway through
the race gave Gustin the break he needed. Following Long into the first turn
after the restart, Gustin ducked underneath the leader as they raced down
the back-stretch. Long, however, held his ground and edged back in front of
Gustin as they headed back to the flagstand then began to stretch his lead
once again while Gustin searched high and low on the racing surface for a
faster line.
Long continued unchallenged
the rest of the way while Gustin settled for the runner-up honors. Zack
VanderBeek was impressive in his first night out in a brand new 2010
Skyrocket Chassis as he raced from 18th on the starting grid to third at the
finish line. Scott Dickey grabbed the fourth spot as he held off Donovan
Lodge at the stripe.
The Pepsi Memphis Nationals
continues on Saturday, and the weatherman has assured race fans of another
beautiful sunshine-filled day for racing. Pit gates open at 12:00 with
grandstand gates swinging open at 2:00 and the first heat race taking the
green flag at 4:00. Outlaw Hobbys will also be on the racing card on
Saturday.
A complete program is on tap.
All drivers will draw heat race starting positions, with top qualifiers
re-drawing for feature race starting positions.
