See You At The Races!!!

September 8, 2007 --- Kent Stephens, the young sprint driver who has been showing his stuff at various dirt tracks, claimed the win tonight in the 25 lap main at Kings Speedway. With one dirt race remaining and also the final Select Series run for 2007, Stephens looks to have it all pointing in his direction.

After starting in the back, Dan Gonderman running the 99 sprinter of Sam Davies, made it to the front of the first heat in five of eight laps and held on for the win. Ed Amador was right with him to take second. Cameron Beard was third and the newest Rookie in the group, Wes Gutierrez locked down fourth. The second heat found Stephens race green to checkered in the number one position. T.J. Smith started in the back and came through to second. Rob Hammond was third, and Kris Koontz, long time racer first time NCMA Select Series run was fourth. 

The Trophy Dash had four furious laps, with the start being the finish. Seventeen year old T.J. Smith raced all laps out in front, but the “Racing Farmer” from Modesto, Ed Amador finished in second. College Biology Major, Kent Stephens, was third, and Gonderman finished fourth.

The main event started with an eight car inversion putting the Koontz Construction #22 on the pole. Gutierrez piloting the Styles Collision Center #7 sprinter was outside front row. Hammond’s Hale Lumber red and white rocket was inside and the Power Up Concrete Pumping 19B had Beard start outside second row. 

The starter threw the green and the race was on. Gutierrez grabbed the lead and held on for several laps. Smith and Stephens worked their way up and around Koontz and then Gutierrez, running one-two. About the halfway point Stephens took the lead. Gutierrez had problems and exited the track. Not long after, Smith suffered a problem and left the track. Koontz took over the second spot. Hammond was coming in at third. Fourth was taken by Amador and Bill Hopper rounded out the top five. Doug Gandy Jr. who has been doing pretty well this season had a rough night. Doug Sr. left Jr. to run on his own. Jr. said served him right with a rookie pit crew, they forgot to fuel up after the heat and he didn’t make it to far in the main! 

This race was an outstanding Select Series race. No cautions, just good, hard, clean racing. NCMA Sprints will do it again next Saturday night September 15 at Kings Speedway to finish their dirt series. See you there!
