(Alger, WA) 6/14/12 by Kelly Hart
The 41st Jim Raper Memorial Dirt Cup presented by Goodyear got underway
Thursday night at Skagit Speedway. 37 Sprint cars graced the pit area
and began the first of three nights in search of the $25,000.00 first
place prize.
Fast time in qualifying was Tim Kaeding in the Dennis Roth owned
Beefpackers #83 at 11.165 seconds around the high banked 3/10th mile
clay oval.
Qualifying heat races took the top three in each heat directly to the
main event. Those top three in each heat were Shane Stewart, Chad
Hillier and Kaeding in the first heat. Jonathan Allard, Roger Crockett
and Peter Murphy in the second heat race. The top three in the third
heat were Eric Fisher, Sam Hafertepe, Jr. and Jesse Whitney. The fourth
heat transfers were Mitch Olson, Jac Haudenschild and Craig Stidham. And
the final three transfers coming from heat 5 were Jason Solwold, Toni
Lutar and Barry Martinez. Martinez got together with another car on the
initial start of the heat and battle all the way back from 7th to finish
3 as he passed an ailing Trey Starks at the line to earn his way into
the feature.
The C Main transferred five cars and their finish was Bud Ashe, Jeff
Westergard, Mike Melwicks, Daniel Anderson and Clayton Sibley.
From the B main seven cars earned A Main starting positions. Winning was
Willie Croft followed by Jayme Barnes, Marc Dupperon, Travis Rilat,
Henry Van Dam, Dean Brindle and Trey Starks.
In the feature Jesse Whitney led the first lap and Jason Solwold held
the point from lap 2 through 10. Shane Stewart passed Solwold for the
lead at the tail end of the ninth lap and led until lap 20 when he blew a
left rear tire bringing out the caution. To the lead comes Peter Murphy
who hung on through a few more late race cautions for the opening night
win.
Night two of the Jim Raper Memorial Dirt Cup presented by Goodyear
features time trials, heat races and main events plus the first night of
the Hornet Nationals at ASA Member Track Skagit Speedway. Spectator
gates open at 5pm and racing starts at 7pm after opening ceremonies.
