Biggest Crowd At Putnam County Speedway In Two Years!
Putnam County Speedway seen some new faces in Victory Lane and the speedway saw the
biggest crowd in two years. The Pure Stock Division was the “On Your Feet Race” for ALL 15
laps
As Terry Dunber, From Ocala, First Time To Putnam said “ I am really impressed by the
condition of the track all night!” From the drop of the green flag to the checkered it was a battle
for the top spot. Bobby Giles from Palatka, Florida got up on the high side, made it three wide
down the backstretch between Dunber and Jonathon Green. But after taking the white flag
Giles got a little more side ways then usual but saved it. Dunber took the lead for the win,
Green 2nd and Giles 3rd .
Late Model Feature seen a 2nd time feature winner this year, that of Billy Costello of Satsuma,
Florida. As the green came out Clyde Herron grabbed the lead going into turn one, but as the
second lap came around Herron slipped high and Costello grabbed the lead and bringing Kevin
Mills with him. Costello and Mills stayed in that order for the rest of the race. With Herron trying
his hardest to maintain his position he was have overheating troubles and slipped into the
fourth spot as Eddie Rosier got around him and settled into the 3rd spot finish.
In the Sportsman division the caution came out three times in three laps. After everything got
sorted out Ricky Land from Plant City, Florida took the win, Jackie Joe Bennett took the second
position and Martin Johnson came in third.
Hobby Stock division points leader David Miller Jr. put his Ford powered machine out in front
and never looked back. But as the war erupted for second spot between Kenny Durham and
Randy Moody, side by side, lap after lap, Durham would finally take the second spot by a
fender at the checkered with Randy Moody taking third.
The Four Cylinder Bombers also seen a new face in Victory Lane, that of Dean Woodward in a
brand new Ford Powered car. In a heated contest with Art Sullivan during all 15 laps. But as the
checkered flag waved Dean Woodward would be the first under it with Art Sullivan second and
Shawn Pawlak in third.
The Florida Sprint Car Association ( FSCA ) were also on hand for a awesome Exhibition Race,
it was a real pleasure to see the sprint run again at Putnam County Speedway. Otto Scrape
from Jacksonville, Florida took the win.
