Scott, Hutson, Trinkle and De St. Jean Get Wins At Winchester Speedway

Winchester, IN (June 11, 2007) – A beautiful bright sunny day welcomed the fans attending Sunday’s Randolph County Fan Appreciation Day Presented By Anchor Glass Container with four exciting feature events. Rodney Scott got the victory in the O’Reilly’s Auto Parts USA Modifieds Ludco Gun Shop 50, Billy Hutson got his first ever feature victory with the Howe CRA Sportsman in the Anchor Glass Container 40, Bubba Trinkle got his first ever feature victory with the MAX 93.5/96.7 CRA Street Stocks in the MAX 40, and Greg De St. Jean claimed his first ever Vore’s Welding & Steel CRA FWD Compact victory in winning the Vore’s Welding & Steel 20.

Rodney Scott powered his way to the front of the field passing Bobby Murany to take the lead then pulled away for a commanding victory in the Ludco Gun Shop 50 for the O’Reilly Auto Parts USA Modifieds. Scott, a former series champion and several time winner at Winchester Speedway, was the class of the field in the 27 car-starting field. Brad Springer would work his way through the field to get second, Murany held on to finish third, Jason Dietsch finished in fourth with Rodney Scott’s dad Harold in fifth. Tim Taylor won the Modified Dash, while Murany and Tony Dager won the heats.

Billy Hutson came out on top in a very tough battle in the Anchor Glass Container 40 for the Howe CRA Sportsman. Steve Blair got the early lead from his front row starting spot and managed to hold that lead until Bobby Dager got past on lap 9 coming from his sixth place starting position. Rick Rinehart then worked his way through the field from his ninth place starting position to take the lead on lap 22 only to have Hutson decide he wanted the lead on lap 27. Hutson would first hold off Rinehart for several laps, even surviving a brush with the outside retaining wall in turn one, then a hard charging T.J. Fisher who came from his 10 place starting position to challenge Hutson over the final laps, but Hutson would hold on to get the victory. Fisher was second with Dager third, Gabe Cerny in fourth and Blair in fifth. Quay Gregory and Rick Tackman Jr won the 10 lap heat races while T.J. Fisher was the Fast Qualifier. The Howe CRA Sportsman next event will be on Saturday, July 14th at Anderson Speedway.

Bubba Trinkle has been making the long haul from Jeffersonville, Indiana to compete with the CRA Street Stocks for two seasons, he had always been competitive, but could never get in position to get a victory, that all changed Sunday afternoon. Jeff Perry would used his front row starting position to get the early lead but was closely followed by Trinkle who was running second after the first lap followed by 2005 series Champion Dean Baker who was third. Perry would lead the first 10 laps, but his car got loose going into turn one on lap 11, he then spun on his own handing the lead to Trinkle. Trinkle would lead the rest of the way, but had Baker on his tail the entire way finishing in second despite no power steering. Chuck Cook came from 11th to finish in third, Shawn Bonar from 15th to finish in fourth and Josh Burton from 13th to finish in fifth. Trinkle, John Robinson and Larry Matillo won the 10 lap heat races while Calvin Parham was the Fast Qualifier. The CRA Street Stocks next event will be at Plymouth Speedway on Sunday, June 24th.

Chris Jennings appeared to get the victory in the Vore’s Welding & Steel CRA FWD Compact 20 lap feature, but Jennings failed to pass post-race tech inspection, which handed the victory to Greg De St. Jean. Derick Young finished in second, Randy Owen in third, Bill Leisure in fourth and Troy Timms in fifth. Pole starter Rick Siggers and point’s leader Young accepted the R & R Liquors Safe Driving Challenge and fell to the tail in an attempt to win the event and claim the $300 bonus offered by R & R Liquors. Young got close with his second place finish while Siggers dropped out on lap 19, which means the R & R Liquor Safe Driving Challenge will be worth $400 at the series next points event on Sunday, August 12th at Winchester Speedway.

Racing action will return to historic Winchester Speedway on Sunday, July 22 for the Third Annual King Of The Wings Sprint Car Challenge Presented By Pier-Mac Plastics featuring the country’s top Winged Sprint Car drivers.
