Tucson, Arizona (May 9th, 2009) - Lonnie Parker Jr., The Mild
Child, railed to victory in a wild, door banging 25 lap SWDRA Late Model
feature. Parker, who was caught up in a lap 21 incident with RC Whitwell,
captured his 3rd USA Raceway feature of 2009.
Whitwell, who tagged the field after being late for driver introductions, drove
from last to challenge Parker for the lead on lap 21. Whitwell's impressive run
came to an end after he and Parker got together resulting in a caution and
ending Whitwell's night. Parker finished the 4 lap dash edging out Anthony
Madrid and Joey Moriarty. Tommy Hussak III, Mike Brigner, Brad Whitfield, Jamie
Throckmorton, Jerry Fincher, Brad Williams and Randy Carder rounded out the top
10.
Sy Monroe made it two in a row in the 15 lap factory stock shootout. Monroe
took charge early from his second row starting position and held off a host of
top contenders. Monroe crossed the line in front of Josh Burdick, Dustin
Gauthier, Dingus Morrow and Kalvin Catlin. Point Leader Terry Churchwell
allowed the point battle to tighten up as he failed to make the call for the
feature.
Stephen Lee and Duane Jones both won in exciting fashion in the Hornet
Divisions.
Justin Thornton was victorious in the debut of the much anticipated x mod
division. The x mods will gain momentum as they continue to grow into a great
series.
