| Joe Winchell Wins Marion Edwards Jr. Memorial at Hialeah | by Marty Little
Hialeah, Fla - Joe Winchell brought down the curtain
on the 2002 season at Hialeah Speedway Saturday night
as he lead all 100 laps to win the 33rd running of the
Marion Edwards, Jr. Memoiral for late models.
Wheeling the Mickey Wright Chevrolet, Winchell began
the century run from the pole and paced the 16 car
field throughout. Bobby Coyle stayed with Winchell
the entire distance to claim runner-up honors over
fast qualifier Jonny Kay, Steve Lamb and Danny Maddox.
T.C. McElyea captured his fifth street stock main of
the season and copped the track championship in the
process. Tom Daly gave chase but settled for second
money ahead of Sean Bulaskas, Mike Orth, and early
leader Gary Potter.
The cyclone headliner fell to Roger Bohanon by default
as original victor Cory Certain failed post-race
tech. Roger Pfau was second in the 25 lap run ahead
of Mike Powers, Timmy Ryan and Chris Stockton.
Peter Lloyd was the best of the super mini cup runners
as he scored a wire to wire victory in the 15 lap
feature. Newcomer Billy Martin grabbed second money
ahead of Richard Crisafulli, Mike Harrison and Cesar
Bacarella.
The speedway will open in 2003 under new management.
A full schedule will be announced at a later date.
