STANBROUGH TOPS AT TRI-STATE OPENER |
|
Haubstadt, IN - May 10, 2008. Sprint car driver Jon Stanbrough of Brownsburg, IN, drove to victory Saturday night in the opening event for the season at the Tri-State Speedway. He piloted the Fox Brothers DRC Sprinter sponsored by Jarvis Enterprises, Fatheadz.com, and Advance Racing Systems. Jon Stanbrough became the second winner in as many shows this season for the Hoosier Tire Midwest Sprint Car Series. The veteran started out side pole and led all but 5 laps of the 30 lapper. The win was worth $3,000 and marked his 5th career win in the series moving him up to 4th on the MSCS All Time Winners List. The runner-up to Stanbrough in the feature was Chad Boespflug of North Vernon, IN. Boesfflug stayed in the top five throughout the race and moved into second as the leader Daron Clayton dropped off the pace and retired his car to the pits. Boespflug drives for Bob Gatten Motorsports. Clayton had led laps 18 through 21 in quest of another Haubstadt win. Hud Cone finished third, AJ Anderson fourth, and Chase Stockon was fifth. Cone, Anderson, and Stockon moved from back in the pack into contention. The second five included defending series champion Kyle Cummins, Dickie Gaines, Thomas Meseraull, Kevin Thomas Jr, and Ricky Williams. The feature was eventful. Only 11 of the 20 starters finished the event. Williams was involved in one of the 4 or 5 accidents that interrupted the green flag laps. His car turned over in turn two but officials righted it and he returned to action. All seven drivers on hand who had MSCS provisional starting spot available made the starting field in the qualifying races. Kevin Thomas Jr. of Cullman, AL, was the MSCS-Keizer Aluminum Wheels Hard Charger of the Race in finishing 9th after starting nineteenth. The Keizer Wheel Tuff Brakes Award went to Bret Tripplett. Tripplett, from Lincoln, IL, was on the move after starting tail spot and just missed finishing in the top ten in the main. Chad Boespflug finished just ahead of Daron Clayton in the first heat which started a few minutes early to get a jump on the rain projected to move over the speedway during the evening. The rain moved in with the B-Main winding down causing a delay in the program between the B and the A. Jerry Ruble won the B-Main over 10 other hopefuls. The other two heat races were won by Thomas Meseraull in the Truckers 24 Hr. 10T and Jon Stanbrough. Stanbrough used a last lap pass in a battle with Danny Holtsclaw for his heat win after starting in the last row of the third heat. In two weeks the Hoosier Tire Midwest Sprint Car Series will return to Tri-State Speedway for the annual Memorial Day Weekend race. The event will be held on the May 25th, a Sunday evening, and pay $3,000 to the winner. The defending Memorial weekend winner from 2007 is Daron Clayton.
