4-13-12 – The RaceCar Engineering Late Models ran the Mike Peters Open while Buddy’s Home Furnishings Limited Late Models, Barfield Law Group Mini Stocks, and Rent-N-Roll Gladiators battled as well.
Limited Late Models saw Cory Howard spin on lap 8 as JO Nobles, Eddie Gainey, and Bubba Clem run 1-2-3. With 2 to go CJ Waldron spun which caused the restart that derailed JO Nobles Sunday drive. The rear end of the 18 broke giving Gainey the lead. Gainey held on over Adam Higginbotham, Clem, David Showers, and JO Nobles.
Mini Stocks fought a hard 3 caution race led by Buddy Pope, Nick Kerr, and Travis Staats. Staats tried but fell back and left the 75 and 81 to battle. Kerr couldn’t quite clear Pope though he was faster out of 2. Pope beat Kerr, Staats, Luke Sadler, and Charlie Staats to go 3-for-3 in 2012.
The Mike Peters Open. Ivedent Lloyd, Jr. took fast time with the only sub-16.0 lap. He also took the win. As Lloyd
lapped up to 11th in the 7 caution race Jeff Mathews and Mark Whitener battled for P2. Whitener won the battle by a bit as Mathews took 3rd. Jack Nosbisch finished 4th and John Koller completed the top 5.
Gladiators had a 3-way fight between Steve Johnson, Steve Cox, and Tony LaPorta. Johnson led the final 12 by holding LaPorta back. Cox was 3rd over Randy Harless and Jordan McMillon.
Tomorrow is the Mike Peters Open part 2 along with more from the Buddy’s Limited Late Models, 1-800-ASK GARY Thunderstocks, Hobby Stocks, and a spectator race! For more information you can check out www.bubbaracewaypark.com or call the Speedway hotline!
