EAST WIRE-TO-WIRE IN DELAYED RICHMOND SPRINT FEATURE
National-Sprints
06/30/07 - Richmond, VA --- Bobby East of Brownsburg, Ind. led all 30 laps to win Saturday morning’s rain-delayed 30-lap Lucas Oil USAC National Sprint Car race at Richmond International Raceway. East won the pole during Friday qualifications in his Klatt Enterprises Ford Racing/The Car Lot Beast/Ford, posting a lap at 138.002 mph. In the race he sped away from the field, then held off a determined late-race bid by Mike Murgoitio to grab the win.
Murgoitio, of Meridian, Idaho, brought his Hoosier Tire/Weld Wheels Beast home second ahead of Darren Hagen, Bryan Clauson and Billy Wease.
Series point leader Levi Jones finished eighth and emerged with a five-point lead over Hagen in the new standings going into July 6 and 7 races at Toledo and Mansfield, Ohio.
The Richmond race was delayed from its original Friday start and shortened from 60 to 30 laps after rains washed out Friday night's RIR activities.
