(Yakima, WA) 5/30/09 by Kelly Hart
A season full of frustration in the Super Street division reached a boiling point on a sun-drenched Yakima Speedway Saturday. The ASA Sanctioned Yakima Speedway has had a great start to its early season but things reached a boiling point as temperatures reached triple digits.
In the RJs Tire Factory Super Streets, racers have run each other hard and cars have left the raceway bent up and needing repairs. In the Super Street division one driver had enough and chose to dump another driver resulting in black flags, and racing penalties drawing cheers and jeers from the audience. In the end Zack Beaman won the 30-lap Main Event. Heat races were collected by Andy Beaman and Dusty John. Andy Beaman and Mike Easley won the Trophy Dashes. The fast time was set by Chet Beaman, Sr. with a 21.506 lap time.
It was Ron Peppers turn to set fast time, as the rookie went 24.771 in the H&H Furniture Pure Stock class. Terry Cook and Jeff Liebert won the Trophy Dashes and Jay Younker was the Heat Race winner. In the Main Event, Younker led the first 17 laps of the 25 lap event. Mike Hill picked up the lead for a lap before a turn two donnybrook handed the lead to Jeff Liebert. Liebert was in command before Hill came from a 5th place restart to take over the lead on the final two laps and pick up the win.
Make it two wins in a row for Greg Gargett in the Hornet Division. Gargett lead the last 18 laps of the 20-lap Main Event for the win. Eric Coble and Gargett won the Trophy Dashes, with Josh Parmentier and Josh Washington winning the heat races.
Clean sweep honors go to Kyler Conduff in the Yakima Driving School Youth Hornets. Conduff led every lap all night winning the Trophy Dash, Heat Race and Main Event for the evenings honors. A dominating evening for the young racer.
Bump to Pass Action was highlighted by Donnie Stevens win in the Main Event. Jake Breshears won the Trophy Dash and Kyle Wade was the Heat Race winner.
Next week the ASA NW Late Model Tour invades Yakima Speedway for the Better-All Auto Sales 125 presented by Better Haul Auto Transport. More information can be found on the Yakima Speedway website, www.yakimaspeedway.us.
