Dexter Dominates in Tucson Late Model Feature

Hudson, NC (May 14, 2004) - Dexter Canipe, Jr. was head of the class in the Tucson Late Model Stock feature at Tri-County Motor Speedway Friday night during KICKS 103.3. night.  Jay Gerst was the fastest in qualifying for the pole and was able to hold off Canipe for one lap, but had to face a stop and go penalty.  With Canipe taking the lead Josh Goble was hot on his trail and was a serious threat until lap late in the race, when he spun with two other cars in turn 2.  Jacky Workam was riding in third and was able to take over second and would try to hold off Gerst, who was coming through the field on his way to the front.  Gerst got by Workman with less than a handful of laps left on the board and Gerst would finish in second with Workam following in third, Rock Harris fourth and Kyle Mansch fifth.  Andy Loden was sixth, Nick Waycaster seventh, John Reynolds, Jr. eighth, Josh Goble ninth and Kevin Leicht tenth.

Jeff Hagaman collected $1000 by taking the win in the 50-lap Super Sport feature.  Monty Cox was on the pole and the early leader but was unable to hold off Hagaman. Cox rode in second, but began to fade after the halfway point, with Marshall Sutton moving up to second, but Donnie Buckner took over second in the closing laps with Sutton finishing third.  Cox claimed fourth and Mark Livingston fifth.

In the Mini Stock feature Randy Canipe returned to victory lane with Scott Whittington second,  Hank Hefner third, Rickie Dennie fourth and Tyler Church borrowed a racer from Ken Hamby to finish fifth.

In the Street Stock feature Kevin Eby took home the trophy with Marshall Sutton second, David Smith third, Donald Little fourth and Jonathon Smith was fifth.

Worley Robbins was the winner of the Fast & Furious event with Stephen Clippard second and Adam Hatton third.

The Carolina Vintage Series was on hand for a special event and Larry Brown started from the pole and was pulling away from the field when a battery cable came lose, causing his car to lose power.

James Burrell was the eventual winner with Joe Evans second, Tom Ramey third and William Barker fourth.

TCMS will be off Friday May 21st and May 28th, with racing returning on June 4th.
