Keith Butler Wins TBARA Race at Hialeah Speedway | By Marty Little
Hialeah, Fla - Keith Butler grabbed the lead on lap five and sped to a dominant victory in the 25 lap TBARA sprint car feature Saturday night at Hialeah Speedway.
Wendy Mathis paced the opening four laps on the flat third-mile oval until Butler stormed past and quickly opened a comfortable lead over the 17 car field. The yellow waved on lap five as Shane Butler found the front wall and his night was done. Keith Butler continued his dominance until the red flag flew for a wild flip by Murry Hall. Hall was uninjured but finished for the evening. Butler ran to the checkers, his fourth win this season, ahead of Bo Hartley, David Slawiak, Mathis and Todd Schmidt.
The visiting Outlaw modified 25 lap feature went to veteran Ted Hoverson with a good drive over Raymond Jones, Randy Sands, Doug Hopper and young Cory Cullum.
Rookie Sean Bulaskas claimed the street stock victory as he bested Ron Wilson and Jeff Roberts in the shortened 15 lap main.
David Russell was the best of the mini stocks as he held off points leader Tommy Styer in the 25 lapper. Eli Pollard crossed the stripe third ahead of Bill Calder and Harold Cross.
Roger Bohannon came from deep in the 31 car field to win the 25 lap cyclone feature. Timmy Ryan drove a great race to claim runner-up honors over Zane Reid, Mike Blinco, and Ken Rickert.
