Bradenton, Fl. Twenty-one of the States fastest Super Late Models signed in for race number five of the “Hoosier Cup All American Challenge Series”.
The heat of the day saw a lot of drivers slipping and sliding coming out of turn four during qualifying for the night’s 125-lap feature. Billy Bigley Jr. was able to keep the tires glued to the surface and pull off his first fast time of the season cranking out a 14.603 time around the 3/8 miles High Banks.
Second fast was points leader” the Rocketman” Wayne Jefferson, Jefferson already has three fast times on the season. Third fast on the grid was last years champion and current ASA Late Model racer Jeff Choquette fourth was also an ASA racer David Pollen fifth fast was Jeff Scofield.
The roll of the die was a six and once again put former champ Jeff Scofield on the front row outside of “Big Daddy” Dave Pletcher. The green dropped and Scofield wasted no time jumping out to the lead. By lap number ten the top five was Scofield, Choquette, Pletcher, Bigley and Pollen.
Several cautions would bunch the field up for the restarts but Scofields car was very strong on the long green flag runs. The racing action heated up behind him as Bigley was wasting no time making his way towards the front.
Pletchers night meanwhile would end in a cloud of dust in turn four due to mechanical woes. He would end up sixteenth on the night.
Bigley would make his way up to the second spot past Choquette and would close on Scofield on the early laps of restarts but he would pull away as the race would wear on. Choquette once again make a challenge for the second spot on Bigley but on lap 84 the 70x machine would slow and pull into the pits. Following him into the pits was Steve Dorer who had made his way to top five. But cars would retire with mechanical problems.
Scofield would go on to take his second win in a row with Bigley taking the second spot, third was Dwayne Dempsey, fourth was Wayne Jefferson whose top five finish left him still leading the points race, Sean LeMaster had a good run in the fifth spot.
