STANBROUGH TOUGH IN MORGAN COUNTY MSCS APPEARANCE by Eldon Butcher |
|
Jacksonville, IL - June 8, 2007. Jon Stanbrough turned in a perfect
performance in winning the Hoosier Tire Midwest Sprint Car Series show Friday
night at the Morgan County Speedway. Stanbrough fired off the outside of the
front row in the feature line-up and led every lap of the 30 lap contest. He had
also won his heat which was 1 of 4 held for the 36 non-wing sprint cars on hand.
The track master had no problem adapting to the Morgan County oval. He sealed
the victory by going to the bottom in the main to take the short way around the oval. Stanbrough, who is from Brownsburg, IN, became the 4th different winner in four features held for the MSCS sprinters this season. It was the first MSCS outing this season for the Fox Brothers DRC/Foxco Jarvis Enterprises entry. Feature runner-up Korey Weyant of Springfield, IL, turned in a gutsy performance in the Goldsberry Signs entry. Weyant relinquished the lead spot to Stanbrough and then battled with drivers moving in and out of the top five until he was able to move back up into second as the lead group overtook lapped cars. Hunter Schuerenberg hurried to third place using a higher line. Bret Tripplett earned the Hardcharger of the Race honors with a strong fourth place finish after starting 16th. Kyle Cummins was listed as fifth on the official finish sheet after a post-race review of the scoring. Finishing sixth through tenth were Rookie Points leader John Memmer, Tommy
Rockwell, Terry Babb, Derek O Dell, and Patrick Budde. Adjustments to sixth,
seventh, and eighth were also made to in fairness to those participants. It was also during the B-main that rookie Kevin Thomas Jr. created a spontaneous outburst throughout the stands by driving off the track after rolling over twice, landing on his wheels, and then continuing although the red flag had already appeared. The last lap was a real battle for transfer spots with Arin McIntosh taking the final feature spot after a tiring night of working to improve the car. Damage to cars varied with incidents on into the feature. Joey Moughan's car bounded off the catch fence and back to the track on the 27th lap. That set up a three lap dash to the finish. |
