Peter Murphy Continues Strong Non-Wing Sprint Car Runs
By Gary Costa
Santa Maria, CA (July 4, 2009) – Peter Murphy continued his powerful runs within the Non-Wing 360 Non-Wing set, as Murphy would lay down another strong run with the West Coast 360 Sprint Cars on Chris Kearns' fast Santa Maria Speedway clay.
Murphy's night would start with him qualifying fourth quick in the Tarlton & Son, Inc. No. 21 Shark powered Maxim. In preliminary action Murphy went onto finish third in his heat race. In the 30 lap feature, Murphy would immediately get into a slugfest in the Tachi Palace Hotel & Casino No. 21 with Richard VanderWeerd and others for the top-spot, with Murphy eventually settling for second place in the event.
"That was a fun race. The track was just fantastic tonight, Chris is really doing a great job since taking over the facility," Murphy said. "The team worked hard all evening, but we came up just a little bit short. I would like to congratulate Richard on his win. I went to the top, and he made a nice move on the bottom to get under me."
Peter Murphy will be back in action this Saturday at Chowchilla Speedway in the Tarlton & Son, Inc. No. 21 Maxim to do battle with the Bandit Sprint Car Series.
