| Kevin Finney Wins Florida Pro Series 100 in Hardeeville, S.C. | by Marty Little
Hardeeville, S.C. College student Kevin Finney, from
Merritt Island, Fla., scored the biggest win of his
brief racing career Saturday night as he led the
final 35 laps to win the 100 lap Florida Pro Series
headliner at Hardeeville Motor Speedway.
Jonny Kay paced the first 33 laps around the D-shaped
speedway until a handling problem, later to be found
a broken shock absorger, allowed Doyle Boatwright to
take command.
Meanwhile Finney was driving a steady, patient race
as he moved into the top five and picked off Dick
Anderson and brother Brian Finney.
Finally able to get to Boatwright, Kevin Finney made
the pass on lap 65 and never looked back. Boatwright
could never get closer than three car lengths and
they crossed the stripe in that order.
Brian Finney claimed third money over Dick Anderson
and David Hodges, Jr. The balance of the top ten
finishers included Jeff Gordon, Eddie Gainey, fast
qualifier Jay Middleton, Skeeter Godbee, Chris Dunn
and Jonny Kay.
