Bradenton, Fl. Twenty-two Super late Models signed in for the “Hoosier Cup” All American Challenge Series. The times were all tight as the drivers were running in the 14.6-second range.
Scot Walters who has run in many NASCAR events including Busch and a full season of Craftsman Trucks blistered the speedway with a 14.51 second run to take fast time for the event. Another former Craftsman Truck racer Billy Bigley Jr. was second fast followed by Wayne Jefferson, B.J. McLeod and David Wilson to round out the top five.
Summer rain rolled in just as qualifying was wrapping up halting the action. The rain delay lasted almost three hours but just as quick as the rain came it stopped, the track was dried and the nights racing action continued.
Hoosier Cup AACS The field was inverted five rows by the roll of the die putting James Glover and Richie Anderson on the front row. The action started on the first lap as Anderson’s car slid up high going into turn one, as he tried to gather it up coming out of two he slid in front of the oncoming field causing everyone to get hard on the binders. Several cars made contact.
Everyone was able to continue except B.J.McLeod who has a solid run going in the championship points run. McLeod retired his ride before taking a green flag lap.
Young David Wilson is making a name for himself in the Super ranks with several solid finishes. With former teammates and veteran racers Dick Anderson and Jr. Purcell lending their expertise this young mans stock rises with every race.
