Two Wins For Funkhouser

by Troy Hennig

CHICO, CA (6-30-06) - Paradise driver Justin Funkhouser is becoming quite familiar with the front stretch at Silver Dollar Speedway. For the second time this year the teenager parked his family owned #5f in victory lane after a hard fought non-wing sprint car win. He held off a charging Bob Newberry, who started ninth. Funkhouser led the 20-car starting field to the green flag. He beat fellow front row starter Nick Green into turn one. It was Green's first start on dirt while driving an open wheel sprint car. Green is the son of sprint car champion Tim Green. R.C. Smith moved into the second spot and drove hard to chase Funkhouser. Smith ultimately finished a season best third place. Charlie Marrs finished fourth, a season best for the Joe Hunt Magnetos #7. Joe Hunt Magnetos is the title sponsor of the series this year at Chico Placerville. B.J. Martin finished in fifth. A total of 32 non-wing sprint cars entered John Padjen's Silver Dollar Speedway on Friday Night.

Bob Newberry started sixth in heat one but in just eight laps he captured the win. Pole sitter R.C. Smith won heat two. Last Friday nights winner Taylor Simas won heat three. John Anderson led all eight laps to win heat four.

David Press won the 10-lap B main event. Doug Brewer, Dennis Frasier and Sparky Howard all transferred into the main event.
