McCall Inherits UARA STARS Holley Performance
150
(October 23, 2005) – 2005
UARA STARS points chase contender Matt McCall battled
one-hundred thirty laps with pole setter Andy Loden but was
unable to make the pass for his forth win of the season until
UARA Officials found an un-approved cylinder head on Loden in
post race inspections. Loden was disqualified giving McCall
his forth UARA STARS win of the season and extended his points
lead over Jamey Caudill with two races remaining.
Thirty-six cars showed up for
the 150 lap event at Tri-County Motor Speedway for the
fourteenth event of the 2005 season. Loden making his first
start with UARA was the last car to qualify and bumped RH2 way
Rookie contender Kyle Grissom from the pole. With the front
row set McCall would line up third followed by Jamie Yelton
and Jamey Caudill completing the top five.
With the starting field being
limited to twenty-eight starting spots fourteen drivers would
have to run a last chance race with the top four advancing to
the feature. Mt. Juliet, TN driver Andy Johnson wasted no time
jumping out front and went on to win allowing him to transfer
to the feature. Mark King, KC Cunningham and Tim Weaver were
the other racers to transfer to the feature. RA Brown and Tony
Grady took provisional to complete the twenty-eight car field.
Loden jumped ahead of Grissom
at the drop of the green and put some distance between him and
the rest of the field. McCall advance early making his way
around Grissom and setting his sights on Loden. Taking over
second place on lap twenty McCall would spend the next
one-hundred thirty laps battling Loden but would fall a few
car lengths short of the win. Caudill holding onto second in
the points chase started to fall back late in the event and
collected the back straight away wall with ten laps remaining.
Caudill was able to make repairs and fight his way back to a
fifteenth place finish.
Tony Grady turned in one of
the best performances of the season. Grady blew his primary
engine with five minutes remaining in practice. The T and G
team went to work replacing the engine but failed to qualify
into the top twenty-five. The team then chose to take a
provisional starting spot in twenty-eighth. Grady missing some
accidents was able to bring home a fifth place finish and
gaining some ground in the points chase. Grady’s charge to
the front earned him the East TN Trailers Hard Charger of the
race.
RA Brown and Mark King also
battled their way from bad starting spots to claim top ten
finishing positions, Brown in seventh and King in eighth. Ross
Furr was the RH2 way Rookie of the race with a twelfth place
finish.
STARS will return to action
this Saturday night October 29th for the Red Rose
Hosiery ‘Spook 150” at Florence Motor Speedway. For More
