HIALEAH, Fla. - Gary Padula worked past Pat Flack on the third lap and led the balance of the way to win the 25 lap street stock feature event Saturday night at Hialeah Speedway. Flack gave chase and at one point was right on the bumper of Padula but settled for runner-up money over Steve Godlewski, Mike Kohut and T.C. McElyea. The win was Padula's fifth of the season.
David Russell drove his Toyota to the mini stock feature win for the 11th time this season. Bill Calder paced the first nine laps before Kenny Strong took command but it was Russell in front on lap 17 and he took it to the checkers. Strong, Calder, Tommy Styer and Greg Kaouk rounded out the top five.
Cyclone points leader Roger Bohannon came from deep in the 21 car field to win his fifth feature in the 25 lap headliner. George Morales seemed well in command to lap 16 when his smoking mount was sent to the pit area and Dave Cabrera led for a lap before Bohannon put his Caprice out front for good. Roger Pfau, Cabrera, Mike Powers and Frank Kelliher completed the top five.
As always the visiting Dwarf Cars put on a great show with Daniel Rene leading all 30 circuits for a close win over Brian Paradis. Andre Gagnon was a tight third ahead of Alain Paradis and Michel Fortin. Cabrera topped the special non-winners feature for the cyclone division over Harvey Freeman and Scott Evans.
