Bradenton, Fl. The Hoosier Elite Series kicked off the ASA sanctioned racing action at “The High Banks” of Desoto Super Speedway with qualifying.
’09 Champion Anthony Campi held the fast time with a 14:715 run. That was until Tim Russell, the defending Icebreaker champ blistered the 3/8-mile with a lap of 14:560.
Campi followed Russell with second fast time. Third quick went to Jessie Dutilly followed by Blake Koch and Joe Boyd for the top five. The field was inverted the top 4 spots putting Blake Koch on the pole and Russell on the outside of the second row.
When the green waved it was Koch jumping into the top spot. Russell wasted no time and moved up into the second position and closed in the leader. Koch looked good as fended off Russell’s challenges for the lead.
Russell, the son of David Russell, knows his way around the Bradenton racetrack. He dominated here when he campaigned a Limited Late Model.
Koch who has competed in several different NASCAR series and ARCA slipped up as he came out of turn two allowing Russell to make the move and take over the top spot.
Russell would never look back taking his second H.E.S. win of the 2010 season. Koch came home in a solid second. Third went to Desoto veteran racer Jessie Dutilly in the former Joe Boyd ride. Boyd meanwhile would follow his old ride across the stripe in fourth with Robert “ShowTime” Yoho rounding out the top five.
