Santa Maria, CA - July 3, 2004...The J.B. Dewar/Bandit Sprint Cars and
California Rebel Cup Sprint Cars brought winged and non-winged 360 sprint car
racing to Santa Maria Speedway Saturday night. Crossroads Community Church
Factory Stocks and Campus Motorsports Factory Stocks also competed, and the WRA
Vintage Midgets and Sprints paraded their rolling museums in several exhibition
runs.
Peter Murphy, of Sidney, Australia, set the early pace in the 30 lap Bandit
Series feature, hounded every step of the way by Santa Maria's Danny Sheridan.
Seven laps from the finish Sheridan's persistence paid off when he passed Murphy
on the outside in turn 4 and went on to victory. Murphy was second and Kerman's
Davey Pombo third. That put Pombo closer to Kingsburg's A.J. Burgin, who
finished fourth, in the Series points chase and extending his lead in J.B. Dewar
point standings. Gary Rayburn, Jr., of Grover Beach, completed the top-five.
Rayburn, teammate Joey Layman, of Atascadero, and Jimmy Reeves, of Laton,
captured 8 lap heat race wins and Pombo set fast time of 13.938 seconds.
Tommy Tarlton, of Fresno, set fast time of 12.523 seconds for the winged Rebel
Cup cars. That converted to a third place finish in the 30 lap feature behind
Ronnie Day, of Salinas, and winner Tim Worth of Coalinga. Garrett Iishi, of
Carruthers, and Monty Ferriera, of Fresno, won the 8 lap heats.
The 20 lap Factory Stock feature was a replay of the previous six events with
David Addamo leading an all Santa Maria top-five to his seventh victory. Scotty
Preast did his best to end Addamo's win streak, even getting by for the lead at
one point, before settling for the runner-up spot. Kirk Morgan, Brian Signorelli,
Sr. and Tom Breshears followed the top-two to the checkers. Eight lap heat races
went to Morgan and Dave Thompson of Santa Maria.
The Campus Motorsports class saw Dos Pueblos High School extending its lead in
the points with a third sweep of heat and feature events. Cabrillo High School
was second in the 10 lap main event with the Youth Auto Club backed by the City
of Santa Maria Parks & Recreation Department coming in third. San Marcos
High School was fourth.
Next Saturday night the winged 410 sprints of the Budweiser Golden State
Challenge and the J.B. Dewar/Bandit Series non-winged 360 sprint cars will bring
nothing but speed to the 1/3-mile oval. Tickets will cost $16.00 for adults,
$14.00 for seniors (65+) and $3.00 for children 6 to 12. Santa Maria Speedway is
1/4-mile north of the 101/166 interchange on Hutton Road. They're on the
internet at santamariaspeedway.com.
