(August 19, 2006- Chowchilla, CA)...Gotelli Speed Shop's
Dave Press of Foster City prevailed to capture the twenty five lap
feature win on Saturday August 19 at Chowchilla Speedway. Press
passed front row starter Dan Simpson on lap eleven and dominated the
remainder of the race with a smooth line around the well prepared
1/3 mile track. Press was followed to the checkers by Ramos Oil's
Gary Koster, Ed Amador, RJB Engines' Jerry Cisco and Since many Wingless Sprint divisions at other tracks have completed their season point races, the fifth dual club show between the CSRA and NCMA added several new teams to the Chowchilla roster. Twenty one Wingless Spec Sprints raced on Saturday night including newcomers Nick Green from San Jose, Dan and Daniellle Simpson from Rio Vista, and Madera's Keith Cantrell. Three heat races ran, with Craig's Muffler Alan Clark of The twenty five lap feature began with Press and Dan Simpson on the front row. Simpson took the point with Press, Larry Nelson, and Goodwill on his tail. On lap two Nelson took a wild ride with his car flipping down the front straight. He was unharmed but done for the night. Simpson led the restart with Press, Goodwill and Koster in tow. A good battle was shaping up mid pack as twelfth starting Shipherd vaulted into the fifth spot followed by Amador, Hammond, Jake Serven and Jerry Cisco. Press hammered into the lead on lap eleven. A lap thirteen spin by Goodwill collected Shipherd and Goodwill was unable to continue. Simpson slowed and pitted with a flat as Press continued his dominant run at the front. Several yellows for spins slowed the tempo and a lap twenty red for a Cantrell flip stopped the action. Cantrell was all right but his car was severely damaged. At the checkers it was Dave Press bringing home his first Chowchilla win. Gary Koster, Ed Amador, Jerry Cisco and Phil Peddlar rounded out the top five. Kudos to hard chargers Cisco, Serven, and Shipherd who finished fourth, sixth and seventh, respectively. As always, a special thanks to Tom and Cindy Sagmilller and their crew for a great track and their hospitality. The CSRA Wingless Sprints race again on August 26 at Marysville, and return to Chowchilla on Saturday, September 16 for the final point race of the season. Drive safe, have fun and take care. We'd also like to ask that you please keep our beloved crew member Pete Ogden in your thoughts and prayers. Pete is in the hospital and seriously ill.
