New Wins TSRS Allstate Texas Thunder 50 at THR Saturday
Kyle, TX (April 2, 2007) - With the weather shifting from showers to sunshine Texas Super Racing Series veteran Bobby Jo New took advantage of ideal racing conditions to best a field of 22 cars in winning the inaugural event of the 2007 TSRS season at Thunder Hill Raceway Saturday night as the opening event of the Allstate Texas Thunder & Lightning Racefest. Starting on the pole with a fast time of 15.679 the Austin racer beat fellow front row starter Jesse Salaza (15.680) to the line on the first lap and never looked back.
Under the gun with a 50 lap or 30 minute time limit imposed by the televised NASCAR Grand National Division West Allstate Texas Thunder 150 which followed, the racers knew they had to “rock and roll” to put on a good show for the packed grandstand. “We were very proud of our TSRS teams”, said TSRS promoter Mary Ann Naumann. “They finished the event in 22 minutes and with only four brief caution periods. The first caution came on the second lap when Leland Waddell and Kyle Sirizzotti got tangled up coming out of the fourth corner. It was a tough break for both drivers especially Kyle as he crashed out of the ASA Pro Late Model event earlier in March at Houston Motorsports Park during Speedfest 07. We’re hopeful both drivers will be ready to go for our second event in late April”.
Seguin’s Joe Aramendia worked his way around San Antonio’s Jesse Salaza to finish second after starting 3rd when Ryan Englehardt had to start in the rear of the field because of mechanical problems. With Salaza finishing strong in the third spot, Bobby Teer Jr. claimed fourth with Elgin’s Tommy Gural rounding out the top five.
15 cars finished on the lead lap including Gary Chancellor Jr. who had lost a motor in a late morning practice session. “We were happy with our finish”, said Chancellor. “Thanks to a motor loan from Joe Aramendia and the work of my great crew we qualified 15th and finished 10th. We were hoping to do better as our team manager Sharon Chandler and I were donating our winnings to the United Way Capital Area fund with help from our primary sponsor Roadway Specialties Inc.”
The Texas Super Racing Series 2007 season resumes on April 28th when THR opens its regular season with TSRS as the headliner. Racing fans are invited to return to THR this Saturday, April 7th when the USAC National Midget Series makes their only Texas appearance during their 2007 season in the Allstate Texas Lightning 100.
