DICKIE GAINES ENJOYS FINANCIAL GAINS OVER PAST
TWELVE MONTHS |
| OSKALOOSA, IA, AUGUST 10, 2004 - Second generation racer,
Dickie Gaines hailing from Mitchell, Indiana, added to his runner-up Mopar Million purse of $100,000 with a new deposit of the $30,000 winner's share at Southern Iowa Speedway's Ultimate Challenge race. While visitors expected warm and humid weather, normally experienced this time of year, they were clad in sweatshirts and jackets to fend off the cool night more typical of late autumn. Gaines only led the final lap of thirty with an advantage of not more than two feet over Jesse Hockett. The fans loved the spectacular finish of the feature and also a moving pre-race tribute to Keith Hutton, who lost his life in this race, one year ago. Fifty-one cars collected times during qualifying. Forty cars would be scheduled into the four heats, with balance tagging the rear of two "B" Main Events. Twenty-two cars queued up for the "A" Main with Jesse Hockett and Levi Jones heading the pack. Hockett assumed the early lead, holding the point for sixteen laps, before being overtaken by Zach Chappell. Zach moved out to the point with Gaines and Hockett trailing close behind. A red flag for a Charles Davis flip put the field back to none to tail on the next to last lap. Hockett and Gaines quickly jumped past Chappell on the restart, which lead to a drag race off turn four, with Dickie winning by a margin of about two feet. As a bonus for tonight's performances, the top ten finishers will run in a fully inverted "Rick Zimmerman Invitational" race at nearby Knoxville Raceway on Wednesday evening, opening night of the Knoxville Nationals. In addition to the top-ten contingent of Sammy Swindell, Matt Westfall, Cory Kruseman, Jac Haudenschild, Levi Jones, Dave Darland, Jon Stanbrough, Zach Chappell, Jesse Hockett and Dickie Gaines, four others have been added as Promoter's options. Damion Gardner by virtue of his Hard Charger Award, advancing from twenty-second to eleventh, will join the rear of the field followed by Rickie Gaunt, J.J. Yeley and Charles Davis Jr. We still have four exciting nights of racing left on this year's tour before heading home to complete the SCRA season. The NWWC tourists will be venturing further east for a Friday night race at I-69 Speedway in Gas City, Indiana. The homeward swing will then take place as the racers return to Tulsa on Wednesday August 18th and then settle in for three nights at Lakeside Speedway in Kansas City, before heading on home. A number of the contestants from the Midwest plan to enter the races at Tulsa and Lakeside. SCRA RACE #10 - SOUTHERN IOWA SPEEDWAY, OSKALOOSA, IA. 8/10/04 Arizona Race Mart Time Trials 1.
