ends drought at Oklahoma City
By
John Rittenoure
OKLAHOMA CITY, OK. (August
18, 2002)
- Texan
Gary Wright would probably like
to forget much of the 2002
season. The nine-time defending
O'Reilly/NCRA outlaw sprint
champion has not won a main
event since May 11, when he
picked up a win at Tulsa
Speedway, and has found himself
locked in a points battle for
second place.
Sunday Wright brought his
drought to an end with a victory
in the All Stars vs. NCRA
Thunder Through the Plains A
feature at State Fair Speedway.

Tommy
Surrett claims 5th O'Reilly SUPR
Late Model victory of the season!!
Baton
Rouge, Louisiana (August 17,
2002) – The night didn’t
start off well for Tommy Surrett
but the end results proved to be
just what the doctor ordered as
Surrett became the first driver
to claim 5 O’Reilly SUPR Late
Model victories this season.
Surrett, his crew and
several of his fellow
competitors hustled to help him
work out his motor woes and
their efforts paid off.
“The
car was flawless.
We got here and hot
lapped and the car was pushing,
the motor wouldn’t run.
Curt Lipsey and Chris
Wall helped me some.
We went out there for the
heat race and 98 (Phil Cooper)
pushed me up in to the cushion a
little bit on the start and I
drove it in pretty hard and when
I knew the car would stick like
that I told somebody that every
time we’ve won a feature the
car has been this good in the
heat race.”
Tommy
Surrett started on the outside
front row in his JS
Construction/Lando
Patton/Daniels Family Keith
Craft-powered Ford Mustang
Rocket and powered past pole
sitter Rodney Wing at the start
and eased away early from the
hotly contested battle for
second between Wing and Ryan
Plaisance. As the race wore on,
Surrett was able to make quick
work of the lapped traffic and
pulled away to a big lead and
the eventual win.
Surrett summed up his
night by giving high praise to
his car builder.
“Rocket Chassis is the
best race car ever built, by
far.”
And then he stated his
intention on taking a few more
victories this year before
he’s done.

Furr
Flies in Southern Bleacher
Classic
By Richard Day
FORT
WORTH, TX (April 5) -– Brad
Furr knew his engine problems
were behind him when his crew
installed a new Don Ott power
plant in his #2 Sanmina/ISC
Eagle Friday.
The
25-year-old driver from
Pleasanton, CA, made sure
everybody was behind him that
night as he led all 30 laps in
the feature race to win the
Third Annual Southern Bleacher
Classic at the Texas Motor
Speedway Dirt Track.
Inclement
weather forced Pennzoil World of
Outlaws Series officials to
cancel Saturday’s feature
racing program, making Furr a
main event winner for the first
time in his career. The $10,000
victory pushed him into seventh
place in the point standings. He
also won the preliminary feature
at Devil’s Bowl Speedway March
15th. Read
