September 18, 2005...Jimmy Wysong of Salt Lake City, Utah will be
celebrated as the 2005 USAC/SLVRA Young Automotive Group Rocky Mountain Sprint
Car Champion when USAC presents its 50th "Champions Night" National
Awards function in Indianapolis next January.
Wysong unseated two-time defending series titlist Jim Waters Saturday night,
finishing second behind Rick Pardee in the 40-lap series finale at Rocky
Mountain Raceways in the Utah capital.
Wysong emerges with a 73-point margin over Waters after Waters suffered
through a disappointing final race, losing two engines and finishing 12th in his
backup car in the 40-lap feature.
Pardee, of Salt Lake City, earned his initial series triumph in his Racecraft/Bee
Hive Bail Bonds Chevy, leading the final 37 laps of the race after passing Chuck
Maddox on lap four. Paul Marconi, Maddox and Shauna Hogg rounded out the
"top-five" behind Pardee and Wysong.
