Andy Gregg Rallies Back to 14th
PETERSEN
MEDIA: For much of the race Friday night during the opening night of
the Fall Nationals, Andy Gregg looked as if he hadn’t missed a beat
since the recently completed Gold Cup Race of Champions. The early
leader was caught up in a tangle on the 12th lap, and rallied back to a
14th place finish Friday night.
With 54 cars in the pit area, Gregg timed his 7 Industries/Autism
Awareness/Wheel Vintiques entry in with the 16th fastest lap of the
night putting him in the first heat race, which he proceeded to win
going away.
The format for the weekend included a seven lap dash to set the first
six rows of the feature, and the Placerville, CA native started on the
pole and then walked away with the win putting his College Cyclery/Hot
Rod Shop/Meyers and Son Drywall backed entry on the pole for the 30-lap
feature event.
As the feature got underway, Gregg got the hole shot over fellow front row starter, Rico Abreu, and set a blistering pace.
Gregg continued to command the race early, as he entered lapped
traffic by the sixth lap, as Shane Stewart began to press him for the
top spot.
The duo diced through traffic and excited the crowd until a lapped
car knocked Stewart off the track on the ninth lap bringing out a
caution, and clearing the track for Gregg.
The race resumed with Willie Croft hot on Gregg’s tail as he rocketed out to the lead.
On the 12th lap, contact ensued between Gregg and Croft, sending
Gregg spinning through the infield, but he was able to keep his Bret
Ervin Racing machine under fire, and get back on the track, but in the
19th position.
Gregg would rebound and capture 14th as the checkered flag flew.
“Our car was awesome tonight, and a contender for the win,” explained
Gregg. “Unfortunately we had an incident about halfway in the race
while leading that cost us tonight.”
