Santa Maria, CA - June 28, 2003... In an event filled with a multitude of
yellow and two red flags, the 30-lap J.B. Dewar/Bandit Sprint Car feature event
was called complete at the end of 19 laps Saturday night at Santa Maria
Speedway. The second red, for point leader Aaron Altaffer of Tulare, brought
about the premature checkered flag. The on-track problems had little effect on
Josh Wise, of Riverside, who started sixth, passed early leader
Gary Rayburn, Jr., of Grover Beach, on lap five, and drove away to a convincing
victory. Rayburn held on for second and Arroyo Grande's Jimmy Thompson was
third. Kingsburg's A.J. Burgin came in fourth and Jeff Fiscus, of Los Osos,
fifth. Wise, Thompson, Burgin, and Bakersfield's Rick Gifford all won 8-lap heat
races. Gifford flipped in turn one in the feature, bringing out the first red.
The Diamond Jewelry & Loan Street Stocks had the best
feature race of the night in their 25-lap run. Nipomo drivers Kenny Kirkpatrick
and Willy Oathout bested the rest of the field. It was Kirkpatrick's first
feature victory since moving over from the Mini Stock division last season.
Kirkpatrick started on the pole and led all the way while Oathout worked his way
to second from a third row starting position. Santa Marians Elton
Shaffer and Joey Silva filled the next two spots and Billy Simkins, of
Bakersfield, was fifth. Nipomo's Chad Weber and Santa Maria's Joey Claborn
captured 8-lap heat races.
It took point leader Scotty Preast just two laps to move from
an eighth place start to the lead in the 20-lap Crossroads Community Church
Factory Stock feature. Preast lead three other Santa Maria drivers: Thad
Bennett, David Addamo, and Tim Breshears to the checkers. Jesse Bowles, of
Bakersfield, was fifth in his first visit to the 1/3-mile oval. Breshears and
Bennett took the 8-lap heat races.
Next Saturday night the California Rebel Cup Winged 360
Sprint Cars, CarQuest Late Model Tour/Century 21 Filer Realtors Late Model
Stocks, and Diamond Jewelry & Loan Street Stocks take to the track.
