February 11, 1999 Night Seven Speedweeks 99 - New Smyrna Speedway
New Smyrna - Tonight was a new one for us, we actually got out of the track
before midnight. But tomorrow night will be the real test, a l00
lap Late Model race.
In the Late Models tonight, we saw the #37 of Jason Schuler having the
pole but it was not meant to be his for long. Jr. Hanley, in his #72, took
the lead early and kept the rest of the field behind him. We also saw
Gary Balough, known by most, in the #8 car - a back-up car from B.J.
McLeod's team. I think everyone was trying to dial in their cars for
tomorrow night's l00 lap race. Top five were:
l. #72 - Jr. Hanley
2. #31x - Scott Frazer
3. #99p - Steve Carlson
4. #38 - Lee Faulk
5. #8 - Gary Balough
In the Limited Late Models, the #10x of Brad Barkis had the pole. But
it was not long before the #7 of Dan Delisle was leading the pack. But in
the backstretch, there was a huge pile-up and several cars were lost for
the rest of the race. Taking the lead from that accident was the #15 of
Jason Boyd, track champion at Volusia Speedway Park. Once Jason
took the lead, no one could catch him. Top five were:
l. #15 - Jason Boyd
2. #6lx - Richard Kelly
3. #67 - Chad Allman
4. #l0x - Brad Barkis
5. #c4 (new car and could not find name)
In the 50 lap NASCAR Tour Type and SK Mods, it was the #00 of Ted
Christopher with the pole and winning from the pole. The #99 of Jamie
Tamanio tried hard to catch the #00 but it was just not to be this night.
Top five were:
1. #00 - Ted Christopher
2. #99 - Jamie Tamanio
3. #26 - George Kent
4. #98 - Doug French
5. #32 Dave Bergman
In the last race of the night, Florida Modifieds, we saw the #99 of Guy
Hellyer
with the pole but Jerry Symons in the #66 had much different ideas. Jerry
took the lead and kept it with the #00 of Ted Christopher close behind until
Ted slipped and went to the rear. Top five were:
l. #66 - Jerry Symons
2. #7x - Steve Christman
3. #7lb - Bart Corlieta
4. #2x - Jimmy Wenks
5. #31r - (new car - no name)
Join us for Night 7 and the l00 Lap Clyde Hart Memorial Late Model Race. -Jane Smith |
