Harris, Dill, Mitchum, Canipe and Poston Claim Wins in Season Finale

Hudson, NC (September 3, 2004) - Rock Harris claimed the win Friday night at Tri-County Motor Speedway, but more important he came away with the championship.  Harris beat out Jay Gerst for the honors.  It took a couple of tries to get the Tuscon Late Model Stock event underway.  On the first drop of the green Bill Cassavaugh, Jacky Workman and Scott Gilbert tangled in turn one and on the second attempt the entire field from about 4th place on back crashed and blocked the whole track in turn three after several cars spun.  After finally getting underway Harris grabbed the lead and never looked back.  Harris claimed the win with Tres Wilson taking second after Josh Goble was black flagged for dragging  debris underneath his car after running 47 laps in second.  Goble, Workman, Nick Waycaster and Jonathon Jennings all got together and spun coming out of four.  Kevin Eby was able to earn third, with Brandon Cox fourth, Jay Gerst fifth, Waycaster sixth, Goble seventh, John Reynolds, Jr. eighth, Ronnie Hornaday ninth, and Steven Woody tenth.

In the Super Sports Kevin Dill also took it all when he won the race and the championship for that division.  Dill and Monty Cox had been neck and neck in the points contest for the championship. Mark Livingston was second, Monty Cox third, Jon Waterhouse fourth and Eric Greene fifth.

Jody Mitchum won the race in the J&J Sanblasting Street Stock class and Kevin Eby earned the championship.  Eby also finished second in the event.  Josh Burchette was third, Jamey Mitchum was fourth, and Marshall Sutton fifth.

In Mini Stocks Scott Whittington was crowned champion and T.J. Canipe claimed the trip to victory lane.  Randy Canipe was second, Jason Bustle third, Jon Setzer fourth and Robert Trivette fifth.

In the Fast and Furious Jeff Poston claimed his second win, while Worley Robbins was second and will take home honors of the most wins in that division.  Richard Watts was third, David Hasson fourth and Adam Hatton fifth.

Steve Benson survived to get the trophy in the four cylinder demolition derby.  Phillip Kimbell was second.

The racing season for TCMS has been concluded and the only function left is the Awards Banquet.  Information on the banquet will be posted here on the track website.
