Perris, CA -May 13, 2000--The Bandit unwinged 360
sprint cars paid their first year 2000 visit to the big half-mile clay
oval at Perris Auto Speedway and series point leader A J Burgin from
Selma in Central California was the feature winner.
David Jackson from Victorville has had a season of ups and downs in the Currie Enterprises Champ Truck class, but the former street stock star was Saturday night's main event winner. With the win, he moved past Cary Cecil into fifth in points. Defending track champion Rick Arringdale from Victorville has had a tough season, missing events for both illness and engine woes, but he took advantage of a late race flat for Butch Gilliland to win the 20 lap street stock main. As usual, the uwinged 360 sprint car action drew a variety of cars when they visited Perris. Bandit Series regular Burgin won with Barona Speedway racer Ken Coulston in second ahead of Bandit racer Josh Davis, who towed from Atascadero. Dave Knott was fourth and Ventura Raceway rookie Richard Reinken rounded out the top 5. Jackson was chased to his Champ Truck win by second ranked point racer Dino Napier, veteran Cap Pidgeon, Riverside's Jack Dodd and San Diego's John Miller. The late race flat tire for Butch Gilliland saw him exit on the final lap and his son David Gilliland had been sidelined early in the night with engine woes. Arringdale inherited the lead and won with newcomer John Calley in second ahead of former track champion Steve Stewart, veteran Henry Wesolowski and Ron Warkentin Jr. |
