McCARL WINS 410 SPRINT FINALE WORTH $15,000 AT EAST BAY

 

TAMPA, FL…..2/4/06…..”I’m used to racing with “Outlaws”, and you never show your nose until you can get a run on the guy,” said a pumped up Terry McCarl explaining his winning inside move in turn three on race-long leader Chad Kemenah with seven laps to go.

 The win was worth $10,000 in the 40-lap finale of the 30th Annual Sprint Car Winternationals at East Bay Raceway Park, Saturday night.  In addition, McCarl received the Fast Lane Apparrel bonus of $5,000 for winning two (360’s and 410) of the three sprint car series features.

“My car tightened up and I used that yellow to make cockpit adjustments.  After that I searched and searched the track for the fast lane,” said a dripping wet McCarl.  The victory lane celebration included track owners Al Varnadore and Todd Hutto throwing him into the newly created lake in the infield that developed as a result of Friday’s record rainfall.  McCarl evened the score by taking both owners with him for the dunk.

“I can’t believe we raced tonight after all that rain yesterday, the track crew did a great job and there were three grooves tonight,”  said the Altoona, Iowa driver of the No. 24 Big Game Tree Stands, Clean-O.com, Bosma Poultry and AmeriCash Advance.com sponsored car.   He had started his Wesmar powered Eagle outside pole-sitter Kemenah and ran second most of the race.  Not losing his focus when third place Danny Lasoski passed him briefly during lap 12, McCarl got his “elbows up” and regained second spot.

Kemenah had to settle for second in his own UUI Underground Utilities sponsored No. 15K.  He admitted,  “We made lots of changes through the night and finally went back to scratch on the set up. I just got a little loose at the end.”  His Eagle was powered by a Kistler engine with PRO shocks and rode on Hoosiers.  He credited his crew Brian, AJ and Shane with a good job tonight.

Lasoski started his Dennis and Teresa Roth Motorsports Eagle Chassis/Kistler powered No. 83 third and ended up there despite losing air in his tire.  It was a break for him that there was only one yellow flag caused after two laps when Travis Rilat lost power on the back stretch.   

Using Weld wheels for the first time in 15 years,  Al Hamilton’s No. 77 driven by Greg Hodnett came from tenth starting spot to fourth.  His J&J chassis with new crew chief Tim Elwell, carried a Don Ott engine and rode on Hoosier tires and VRP shocks and was sponsored by Wirtgen and York Excavating.

Starting and finishing fifth was Jason Sides whose new Maxim was powered by an Ott engine.  Although Jason is an owner/operator of the No. 7s, he had help from Wade Oliver and Rickie Boyer.  Sponsors included WTS Wetherington Tractor Service, Classy Lady Farms and FSR Racing Products.

Rounding out the top ten were Craig Dollansky up from 13th to sixth, Lance Dewease, Freddie Rahmer, Jason Solwold and fast timer, Shane Stewart.   Heats went to Solwold, Wayne Johnson,Greg Wilson and Rahmer.  Advancing from the B-Main it was Gary Wright, Stewart, Brock Mayes and Jesse Giannetto.  Kaley Gharst finished fifth and replaced Tony Bruce, Jr. who scratch from the A-Main.  The Keith Bradley Memorial/Gulf Coast Produce Strawberry Dash winner was Ed Lynch, Jr.
