Lealand McSpadden roared to his seventh feature win (3rd in a row at Ascot) aboard the Frank Lewis #1. McSpadden used lapped traffic to take the lead on the 24th lap from front row starter Bubby Jones. Jones piloted the Gardner #96 to second while Mike Sweeney took 3rd aboard the Morales #4.

The win was McSpadden's 32nd lifetime CRA main event triumph.

Bob Meli flipped his #78 for his third straight outing. Fortunately, Meli was not injured but the car took another beating against the Ascot 1st turn wall. Because of a wet/heavy track, only six drivers qualified in the 19's.

Thanks for posting these results from the past,sure does bring back some great memories of good times.Like Anne said in another thread,it sure is nice having trophies from Ascot and knowing that you were a part of the racing legend that was called Ascot Park.
