Danny Martin, Jr. Goes Wire To Wire To Win Eagle Jet Top Gun Sprints At East Bay Raceway Park

Tampa, FL – Four divisions were on hand as the Eagle Jet Top Gun Sprints, Gagel’s Open Wheel Modifieds, V8 Warriors and the Motorstats.com 4 Cylinder Bombers were here at East Bay Raceway Park.

First feature of the night belonged to the V8 Warriors with Roy Woodhouse and Jimmy Baker winning their heats and also made up the front row for the feature. When the green waved it was Woodhouse quickly taking the lead on lap one but it was Bill Bill Smith bringing out the first caution spinning in turn two. Several more cautions came out early in the feature with Woodhouse still leading over Baker until lap nine when Baker took over the top spot. Caution would come out with just four laps remaining with a single file restart as Baker was leading over Brett Phillips and Bo Anderson. The final four laps belonged to Baker as he went on to win his first feature in the V8 Warrior division for the year. Rounding out the top five were Mike Wilson, Bo Anderson, Roy Woodhouse and Brett Phillips.

Next up were the Gagel’s Open Wheel Modifieds. Winning their heats were Travis Varnadore and Austin Sanders. For the feature it was Steve Miller and Buzzie Reutimann on the front row. When the green waved Reutimann led the way until Roger Crouse trying for a position spun in turn four bringing out only one of two cautions for the feature. Reutimann went onto to winning his second feature of the season in just five starts. Reutimann said in Victory Lane he was on the phone with his son David talking about the adjustments that had to be made for the feature as the chassis is a Beak Built Chassis by David Reutimann. Rounding out the top five were Austin Sanders, Steve Miller, Matt Miller and Travis Varnadore.
