| Wayne Morris Wins Al Gosney Memorial 100 at Hialeah | by Marty Little
Hialeah, Fla - Wayne Morris held off the heavy challenges
of Joe Winchell for the final 53 laps to win Saturday
night's Al Gosney Memorial 100 for SARA Late Models at
Hialeah Speedway.
Morris began the century run from the pole and he quickly
distanced himself from the balance of the 21 car field.
A caution on lap 41 for a spin by Richard Baer regrouped
the field and allowed Winchell, who had started eighth
and had moved to fourth, the opportunity he wanted.
As the field took the green flag, Winchell quickly jumped
to the high side and dispatched Steve Dorer and Charlie
Coyle to move to second and he quickly closed in on
Morris's rear bumper. The two veterans then battled lap
after lap in a classic cat and mouse game and crossed the
stripe in the same order for Mossir's third SARA win of
the season. Winchell collected runner-up money over
Marty Pierce, fast qualifier, Dorer and Jonny Kay.
In support race action, Bobby Beauchemin lead all 50 laps
to win the SARA truck event with an easy run over Mike
Orth, Charlie Worth, Mason Love and Tim Shaffner.
Sean Bulaskas registered the first ever street stock
victory in the 15 lap run as he topped T.C. McElyea and
Ron Wilson while Tommy Styer made in mini stock score
number 15 of the season as he bested Eli Pollard and Bill
Calder. Councilman John Pettit scored his first win
since coming out of a 22 year retirement as he out ran
the 21 car cyclone field in wire to wire fashion. Bob
Regula and Ron Regula chased Pettit to the checkers.
Action continues through early December at the historic
Miami area oval.
