Thompson Captures Second
Win at Rent-Rite 100
Spokane, WA (Sept
2007) In two starts this season with the Inland Northwest Super
Stock Association (INSSA), local favorite Shelby Thompson has
picked up two wins, both at Spokane Raceway Park. Thompson, the
fast time qualifier of the day, took the lead on lap 20 of the
100-lap Rent-Rite sponsored feature and never looked back.
Thompson also picked up the $1,000 Rent-Rite bonus as the
feature event winner.
Andy Brown and Jack
Morse led the way to the green flag, as the seventeen car field
got underway. Brown took the early lead, as Erick Hargraves
(Yakima, WA) quickly made his way to the front in the 8-car
inverted field. Hargraves took over the lead with Kevin Richards
and Shelby Thompson in tow. Hargraves and Richards battled for
several laps before Richards slipped back to third with an
ill-handling car. Thompson would make the pass on Richards for
second and make quick work of Hargraves to take over the lead.
Richards, a factor in every INSSA event, called it a day just
past the half way point.
Rusty Webb debuted
his new car, a former Montana 200 and Idaho 200 winner
previously driven by Jeff Jefferson. Webb made an impressive
run to an all time best third place finish in his first
appearance. Andy Brown held on to finish in the fourth place
position, with Darren Rupinski (Hayden, ID) rounding out the top
five.
Point’s leaders
efforts resulted in sixth, seventh and eighth finishing
positions. Garber’s day started out eventful, as his qualifying
efforts went up in a cloud of smoke. At first appearance, it
looked like Garber’s day was done, however further investigation
showed a broken plug in the oil pan. A little welding and he
was back in the chase, starting at the back of the field.
Corey Allard qualified ninth and started mid-pack. A late race
spin in turn four had racers and fans holding their breath as
Allard was blocking the track with the leaders coming into the
corner. He quickly got going again, everyone slowed and no
damage was done. Finishing seventh behind Garber kept him from
loosing much ground in the point’s battle. Jeff Little, not
expecting to race after an engine failure at the last event, was
able to secure a backup car owned by fellow racer, Steve
Parrish. Despite being two laps down, Little felt good about
the day.
The next and final
event of the season is Saturday, September 22nd.
Join us at State Line Speedway for the Hooters Championship 100.
