Peter Murphy Delivers Mothers Day Wish For Mom! |
|
Bakersfield, Ca – May 10, 2008…Peter Murphy doesn’t
need any motivation to win races, but this night was to be a special one. With
some downtime in between races, Peter called his mother back in Australia to
wish her a happy mother’s day. Mom replied, “You better win me this race for
mother’s day!” And like the good son that he is, he didn’t want to
disappoint his mom. The Tarlton & Son, Inc. non-wing #21 was ready to do
battle in Bandit Sprint car action at Bakersfield’s bullring spearheaded by
“Big” Jason Wheelock. The car was fast right out of the box, and with Shark
power, he out qualified the field. Peter proceeded to finish a quiet 3rd
in his heat, but come main event time he was focused and ready to wage war on
the other competitors. At the drop of the green flag, Peter picked his way through
cars, and methodically worked his way around the tricky surface. “I had to use everything that I had to get around the
race track.” Peter said. “I had to use all of my strength, confidence, and
patience out there”. The racing heated up between himself and hard charging
competitors; Gregg Bragg, Wes Gutierrez, and Justyne Hamblin, all who were
involved in some robust racing. However, Peter would not let mom and wife Stephanie down
tonight. He flashed under the checkered flag in the
Tachi Palace Hotel & Casino, Kaeding Performance, Ridgeline Framing, Sharp
Insurance, VMAC, BR Motorsports, Fresno First Bank, Pro Signs, Matt & Glass
#21 Maxim. “It was a good
race! It wasn’t given to me that’s for sure.” a jubilant Murphy said after
the race. “The car was a rocket ship all night. I found my rhythm, and I was
able to get the bottom working. The more laps we ran, the better I got. I’m
really fortunate to have a dedicated car owner like Mr. Tarlton, and everyone on
this team is on the same page. I would like to dedicate this win to my mom and
my beautiful wife Stephanie.”
