Gray Wins At Southern Raceway
By Pete Walton


O'Reilly Auto Parts United Sprint Car Series defending champion, Terry Gray from Bartlett, Tennessee captured his first series feature win of the young season at Southern Raceway on Saturday night.

Gray's good fortunes began after inheriting the pole position when the designated pole starter Kenny Adams from Malabar, Florida pulled a zero in the inversion draw and then, chose to start dead last in the field and race for an extra $5000 bonus.

Adams earned the right to choose the pole position or the bonus opportunity after winning the round two race of the three-race 2nd Annual Gulf Coast Challenge event at Mobile International Speedway.

When the 30-lap Gulf Coast Challenge Finale began, Butlerbuilt Second Heat winner and pole-starter Terry Gray raced into the lead in turn one and Bob Auld from Tampa, Florida who started outside of Gray in the front row followed. When, Auld spun exiting turn two, the first of seven cautions appeared. On the complete restart Terry Vidrine from Baton Rouge, Louisiana started outside Gray and chased him across the scoring stripe on lap one. Michael Craddock from Olive Branch, Mississippi left the racing surface on lap two with motor problems.

Nineteen year-old 2004 OReilly USCS Rookie of the Year, R.J. Johnson from Zephyrhills, Florida passed Vidrine for the runner-up spot on lap two and started to challenge Gray for the lead. Johnson actually passed Gray for the lead exiting turn four on lap seven only to have his maneuver recalled by a caution flag for a spinning car. After the restart Terry Coddington from Pensacola, Florida moved past Vidrine on lap eight into third place. The last place starter, Kenny Adams had advanced from last place to the sixth position by this time. Adams appeared to be on schedule for an anticipated rendezvous with the race leader by mid-way of the race.

On lap eleven after charging into the top four positions; Adams spun his #4A car in turn one, bringing out the caution flag. He was restarted in thirteenth place at the rear of the field and would have to begin his charge toward the front, all over. On the next lap Adams job got easier as, four cars tangled in turn one including Matt Tiffany from Daytona Beach, Florida, Brian Thomas from Pendergrass, Georgia, Matt Linder from Hoschton, Georgia and rookie driver Matt Reed from Gulfport, Mississippi. After the incident, Brian Thomas left the speedway for the pit area. The others restarted at the rear of the field.

By lap thirteen Kenny Adams had charged back up the slick racing surface into seventh place. On lap fifteen the caution came out for Matt Reeds spin bunching the field behind Gray, Johnson, Coddington, Vidrine and Petal, Mississippis, Robert Casada. By lap sixteen Adams was again in the top six. On lap seventeen the two-time series champion he was in fifth place. On lap eighteen Adams had scratched his way back into the fourth position and gaining momentum towards the leader.

On lap-nineteen, rookie Matt Reed spun exiting turn four bringing out the caution flag. On the restart of nineteenth lap 2005 OReilly USCS Rookie of the Year, Bryn Gohn from Malabar, Florida spun. On the resulting restart, the scoring officials called the hard-charging Adams for passing the third place car of Terry Coddington prior to reaching the start finish line. Adams would again restart at the rear of the field. On the next lap Adams would again spin in turn three, contacting the inside retaining wall. After further inspection of the car and finding a severely bent right rear wheel, he decided to go to the pit area.

Terry Gray lead the final ten caution-free laps home while Johnson and Coddington battled for the runner-up position. Johnson prevailed for his career best series finish in second place. Vidrine held off Matt Tiffany for the fourth position. The seventeen year-old Tiffany, who started twelfth, recovered from the lap twelve four-car incident to charge back into the top five.

Robert Casada from Petal, Mississippi finished in sixth place. Matt Linder from Hoschton, Georgia recovered from an early evening two-car crash in the Lucas Oil Power Dash involving he and Matt Tiffany to finish seventh in the feature. Second year driver Bryan Dyar from Purvis, Mississippi followed in eighth. 2005 OReilly USCS Rookie of the Year Bryn Gohn from Malabar, Florida finished ninth and the daring Adams who also leads the current O Reilly USCS Southern Thunder regional point standings, rounded out the top ten. Kenny Adams won the six cars, six laps Lucas Oil Power Dash and then followed that up by winning the eight-lap Engler Machine and Tool First Heat Race.

Terry Gray won the eight-lap Butlerbuilt Second Heat Race. Matt Tiffany garnered the Huggins Cams Hard charger Award after advancing seven positions in the A-Main to finish fifth. Terry Gray received the K&N Pole award after first heat race winner Kenny Adams drew a zero and then made his choice to start last and race for the bonus. The JE Pistons Top Guns Award, which rotates from first through third positions in the A-Main, also went to the winner Gray. The Hoosier Tire Young Gun of the Race award went to the nineteen year-old RJ Johnson for his highest career OReilly USCS finish.

The O'Reilly USCS www.uscsracing.com returns to action on Friday, April 20th at Malden Speedway in Malden, Missouri with an OReilly USCS Mid-South Thunder regional points event.
