Passmore Beats Rain, Earns 4th Feature Win
at Outlaw
by John Rittenoure
MUSKOGEE,
Oklahoma (July 16, 2010) –
Jamie Passmore outran the
rain and everyone else to win the OCRS feature and widen his
series points lead Friday night at Outlaw Motor Speedway.
With lightening dancing in the sky and rain
rapidly approaching the Muskogee area the feature event was
hurriedly moved up to the first event after intermission. And
Passmore did his part running like rain leading all 20 laps to
win his fourth main event of the season and open up an 81 points
cushion over points runner-up Rafe Essary.
Passmore lined up outside pole sitter Travis
Jenkins for the start and quickly shot into the lead on the
opening lap. Matt Sherrell passed Jenkins in turn one of lap two
for second and set his sights on Passmore. But on lap seven
Sherrell tangled with another car and got into the backstretch
wall out of turn two bringing out the first yellow of the race.
Sherrell was able to restart with Whit Gastineau taking up the
chase of Passmore. Mike Goodman was close behind in third.
On lap 13 Kyle Clark and Kirby Bedford
tangled in front of the leaders going into turn three. Passmore
and Gastineau managed to avoid contact as the yellow came out
for the second time.
When the race restarted Goodman made a
slingshot pass around Gastineau in turn one for second. One more
yellow waved on lap 15 for David Stephenson who spun in turn
three. Passmore resumed his lead for the final five laps without
a challenge from Goodman. Sherrell, who restarted on the rear,
worked his way through the field and passed Gastineau for third
in the closing laps. Danny Smith finished fifth behind fourth
place Gastineau.
The OCRS travels to West Siloam Speedway
next Saturday, July 24, for race number 12 on the 25-event
schedule.
