Mack Hanbury Wins Super Late Model Feature at Orlando SpeedWorld | After a number of rainouts and many disappointed racers and fans, Orlando SpeedWorld was able to get their whole program in last night. With a few drizzles here and there, it was not enough to stop the action.
Bobby Blake #75 won the heat race for the open wheel modifieds. On the pole for the feature race was the #55 Shane Held. But sitting on the outside of Held was the #2x Jason Boyd. Boyd took the lead from the green and never let go. Following Boyd to the checkers was #30 John Foery, #75 Bobby Blake, #38, and #55 Shane Held.
Sportsman had two heat races. Bill Loomis #17 won heat one and Rick Johns #4 won heat 2. On the pole for the feature event was the #04 Bobby Rinaldi. Rinaldi took the lead from the green with Paul Colgan #31 going side- by-side with Rinaldi. The #04 Rinaldi and #9 Kelly Jarrett spin but both go back to their spots due to track conditions. On the restart, Rinaldi holds the lead but not for long as the #4 Rick Johns takes over. Johns holds the lead and takes the checkers with #9 Kelly Jarrett, #77 Danny Shearer, #3 Earl Beckner, and #04 Bobby Rinaldi.
The Mini Stocks also had double heat races with #07 Dick Lazslo and #7 Tim "Missileman" McPhail taking the wins. On the pole for the feature event was the #7 Tim "Missile- man" McPhail who also won from the pole. Bobby Orr #30 had a good run and got up to third but had to pit on the last lap. Also #88 A.J. had a very good run but also had to pull off in the race. Following McPhail to the checkers was #07 Dick Lazslo, #38 Sean Bass (Great JOB Sean), #46, and #43 Tom Rose.
Ronnie Roach #14 won heat one for the Super Lates with #7 Matt Griffin winning heat two. On the pole for the feature race was #45 Mack Hanbury who also won from the pole. In spite of a few restarts, Hanbury was able to maintain his lead and take home the checkered. Following Hanbury across the checkers was #02 Jared Allison, #14 Ronnie Roach, #54 Russ Thompson, and #7 Matt Griffin.
Jeff Wright #50 took the heat win for the Super Stocks. On the pole for the feature race was #00 John Hodge. Hodge lead every lap except the one that counts the most, the last lap. On the last lap, Wright #50 was able to pass Hodge and take the win. Following Wright to the checkers was #00 John Hodge, #l Carl Peters, #12 Cory Freed, and #2 Ron Whaley.
Strictly Stocks did not have a heat race but a 25 lap feature event. The #0 won followed by #38, #14, #55 and #20. Sorry guys, will get your names later this week and put in.
Orlando SpeedWorld will not run next week as the Pepsi 400 will be running in Daytona. But on July 4th, come join the fun at New Smyrna Speedway as FASCAR presents the Twin 125's, the Clyde Hart Memorial. Plenty of action for the Super Lates and Lates plus open wheel modifieds.
