BOESPFLUG SCRA
CHAMPION |
|
(November 1, 2005) ...Young
Chad Boespflug became SCRA’s first 360 c.i. Sprint Car Champion when the
points were tallied after the season-ending events at Pahrump, NV.
The Hanford, CA teenager edged rival Steven Williams by a mere eight
points, 798 to 790. Boespflug finished in the top-five on nine occasions during the 13-event season including three main events. He also tallied four heat race wins, and four Trophy Dashes in addition to recording quick qualifying time on two ocassions.
Heading into the final two-event weekend at Pahrump, Williams held a 37-point advantage over Boespflug, but was thwarted in his efforts to cop the crown when he suffered engine woes after qualifying on Friday night. Danny Olmstead, who finished third in the standings, supplied Williams with a replacement engine for the main event but fuel pump problems prevented the engine from running. Williams ended the season with four main event wins after capturing the finale on Saturday night.
SCRA will hold its awards banquet on Saturday, January 14, 2006 in Hanford, CA.
