THE LEGENDARY LAWRENCEBURG SPEEDWAY, THE LATEST STAGE FOR "THE JON AND DICKIE SHOW"; STANBROUGH TAKES ROUND 3 |
|
April 16, 2006 –
A packed house at The Legendary Lawrenceburg Speedway on Saturday night was the
audience, and 51 fellow Sprint Car drivers were the supporting cast to what has
quickly become the most exciting spectacle on dirt; "The Jon And Dickie
Show". With only three races in the state of Indiana in the books for 2006,
Jon Stanbrough and Dickie Gaines have been the stars of these shows, waging epic
battles of veteran skill to the delight of fans and awe of competitors.
Stanbrough and Gaines began their "performances" last weekend at The Terre Haute Action Track, where they would dice and slice for the lead, before both falling victim to their charges, making contact with one another, and ending their bids for the win. "The Jon And Dickie Show" would resume on Friday, April 14th at The Bloomington Speedway, where the duo would once again find themselves in the top two spots, battling for the win. Gaines would go on to take that round at Bloomington Speedway, but in unrelenting fashion, Stanbrough would come back last night at The Lawrenceburg Speedway to even the score, claiming the victory in one of the most exciting feature events in recent memory. Regular USAC competitor, Mat Neely, took the early lead at Lawrenceburg Speedway on Saturday, April 15th, but it wasn't long before Dickie Gaines mounted a charge on the cushion, to make the move on Neely to take over the top spot. Gaines, The 2003 Lawrenceburg Track Champion, appeared to be on path to pull off the double victory on the weekend, however, "The Silent Gasser", Jon Stanbrough, would not be denied. Stanbrough, whose crafty choice of racing line, had already narrowed Gaines' lead, took advantage of a rare bobble of Gaines', to put himself right on the back bumper of Gaines, setting the stage for round 3 of "The Jon And Dickie Show". In front of a energy filled crowd, Gaines and Stanbrough raced wheel to wheel, with Stanbrough ultimately stealing the top spot from Gaines with a hand full of laps to go. The side by side competition continued between Gaines and Stanbrough, with the intensity allowing the hard charging Jon Sciscoe, who had come from the 13th starting position, to put himself in the mix. Sciscoe would challenge on the bottom side, as Gaines and Stanbrough swapped the lead several times on the top. Despite Gaines reclaiming the lead from Stanbrough at the flagstand of the white flag lap, The Fox Brothers #53 pilot, Jon Stanbrough, finished off the job, bringing home the checkered flag. Next weekend, visit the Lawrenceburg Speedway to see if Gaines and Stanbrough will continue their critically acclaimed performance of "The Jon And Dickie Show", as the track will host the United States Auto Club (USAC) National Sprint Car Series on Saturday, April 22nd.
