FERGUSON MAKES IT THREE STRAIGHT ULTIMATE JACK STARRETTE MEMORIAL WINS
MODOC, SC – Chris Ferguson of Mt. Holly, NC drove his appropriate #22 RPM Transmissions Rocket to his third straight Jack Starrette Memorial 50 win for the ULTIMATE Super Late Model Series South East Region on Saturday night at Modoc Raceway. The win was worth $5,022 to Ferguson, and the number 22 is prevalent because Starrette used #22 on his race cars as a National Dirt Late Model Hall of Fame Car owner.
Ferguson was Starrette’s driver in his #22 machine at the time of his death in a construction accident in 2010. Ferguson continued his dirt late model career using the number 22, and won the first ULTIMATE SE Championship in 2011.
After taking the lead under caution on lap 16, Ferguson led the remaining 34 laps and took a 3.673 second margin of victory over Jonathan Davenport of Blairsville, GA in the Barry Wright Race Cars “House Car.” Three-time ULTIMATE SE Champion Casey Roberts of Toccoa, GA finished third, and fourth went to Brent Dixon of Elberton, GA.
