JUNE 14, 2004...Brad Bumgarner of Chico, Calif. enhanced his point lead
in this year's Western Sprint Car Series, scoring his initial feature win in
Saturday night's 40-lapper at Tucson (Ariz.) Raceway Park. Driving the Bumgarner
Racing Beast/Chevy, he caught Brian McClish on the final lap, the only lap he
led! McClish, who had led 28 laps of the race, finished second ahead of Robert
Beck, Greg Taylor and Mike Murgoitio. Greg Anderson led the first 11 laps.
Defending series champion Michael Lewis finished second and trails Bumgarner
by 42 points in the new standings going into a July 16 race at Tenino, Wash.
Former series champion Tony Hunt was unhurt when he crashed during heat race and
his inability to start the Tucson feature dropped him from second to seventh in
the tight series standings.
