RED LINE
GRAPHICS LATE MODELS -
Afternoon
qualifying saw George Sutton take fast time but it was Curtis
McMurtrey best in the four lap Hutchison Signs Trophy Dash for
the Red Line Graphics Late Models. Rodney Sizemore, Bill
Fortner, Christopher Green and Steve Frost were tops in their
heat races with Steve Prine snagging the Last Chance Race
which set the field for the 25-lap main on the oval. Mark
Murello set the early pace and left the rest behind as Danny
Turner trailed for seventeen laps. Murello came up on the
slower car of Bill Fortner and hooked bumpers. Both cars spun
to the infield leaving Danny Turner in the lead with Rodney
Sizemore hot on his tail. On Lap 21 Turner came up on the
Steve Prine machine and had to climb up on the high groove.
Sizemore slipped inside to challenge for the lead when Turner
failed keep up the speed. Turner retook the top spot when
Sizemore had to check up and the pair settled into a
side-by-side fight to the checkered that had Sizemore take the
win in a flagman's call. Bill Tunny, Jr. just nipped Bobby
Douthitt for third with George Sutton in the pack.
Danny Turner started up front in the 50-Lap Figure-8 and tried
to play the rabbit only to have a cross-over collision with
Steve Prine and Donnie Garrigus III. Turner walked to the
ambulance for a check-up as Mark Murello inherited the lead on
the re-start. Murello took off at the green only to see
another red come out for the airborne car of Bill Fortner who
met up with Bill Tunny, Jr. and Billy Garrigus. Fortner walked
off the track commenting, "Well, I told them it was a rocket."
After the race re-started R.J. Norton, Jr. passed Murello
bringing Bruce Tunny along for second. Tunny chased Norton for
36 laps until Tunny got a nose ahead on lap 41. The two
entered turn three on Lap 42 behind Leonard Basham with Tunny
trying to consolidate the lead. Contact sent Tunny sliding to
the infield where he fell into the clutches of third place
Curtis McMurtrey and the same scenario played out again on Lap
48. Norton cruised to the win with McMurtrey second then
George Sutton, Tunny and Bobby Douthitt for the top five
