Feistritzer Finds The Money in 2nd Annual Colston Paving 40 at Ponderosa Speedway
Junction City, KY-August 14, 2009- Ponderosa Speedway presented the 2nd Annual Colston Paving 40 for the Kentucky National Guard Pro Late Model division on Friday evening and P.J. Feistritzer of Danville, KY would claim the $2,000 payday in the biggest event ever held at the track for the Pro Late Models. Other feature winners for the evening included Dustin Linville of Bryantsville, KY in Good Neighbor Pharmacy Super Late Models, Bryan Barber of Greensburg, KY in Clayton Homes Modifieds, and Bartley Grant of Berea, KY in Bob Allen Motor Mall Sportsman.
The start of the 40 lap, $2,000 to win 2nd Annual Colston Paving 40 for Kentucky National Guard Pro Late Models would see Victor Lee take the race lead, with P.J. Feistritzer, Jeremy Hines, Rick Hines, and Clarence Belcher giving chase. Gar Yeager would take fifth on lap 2 as Lee would set a torrid pace at the point. The leader would start working slower traffic on lap 6 as Lee would simply mow down the back half of the field in the early going of the race. Kevin Colston would begin to mount a charge and would pull past Yeager for fifth on lap 11 and would be as high third past the son and father duo of Jeremy and Rick Hines by lap 15. The first caution of the race would fly on lap 19 when Whitney McQueary would roll to a stop in turn two. This would negate an almost full straightaway lead that Lee had built up and bring the rest of the field back to the leader. The restart would see Feistritzer stay right with Lee, while Jeremy Hines, Rick Hines, and Kevin Colston would battle for third through fifth. Colston would win the battle for fourth on lap 21, while Lee and Feistritzer scooted away from the field in their battle for the lead. Feistritzer would begin to make his move on lap 26 and successfully take the top spot one circuit later on lap 27. The final caution of the race would appear on lap 28 when 8th place running and final car on the lead lap Logan Whitis would spin his machine entering turn one. The restart would have Robbie Sanders now in fifth place and he would take fourth from Rick Hines on lap 32 after a side-by-side tussle for the spot. Feistritzer would build a somewhat comfortable lead over the final seven trips and drive to the checkered flag first in his Self Service Storage sponsored #88 C.J. Rayburn Race Car, GM 604 Crate powered entry. Lee would take runner-up honors, followed by Jeremy Hines, Sanders, and Rick Hines. The remainder of the top ten would be Yeager, Colston, John Mulligan, Kyle Madison, and Jeff Johnson. Lee would be top qualifier among 19 entries at 14.183 seconds, with heat race wins going to Lee, Feistritzer, and Jeremy Hines.
The 25 lap Good Neighbor Pharmacy Super Late Model feature event would go caution free as Dustin Linville would take the lead and would never look back in picking up the feature event win in the Bruce Barnes and Terry Linville owned Barnes and Davis Family Dentistry/Paul Benton Auto Body/Cox Wrecker Service/Cookie Monster Power Plants/BG Oil/Skillsaw Designs/Linville’s Finish Carpentry/Lester Grider Trucking/Lanes Precast/Wayne Bowen Racing Supply/The Medicine Shoppe/Jump Start Communications sponsored #D8 C.J. Rayburn Race Car, Mike Bullock Race Engines powered machine. Johnny Wheeler would make a late run at Linville, but would settle for second, as Wheeler held of the advances of Jeff Watson, who would claim third. Michael Chilton would nip Bobby Carrier, Jr. on the last lap for fourth, with Carrier, Jr. finishing fifth. The remainder of the finish would be Jimmy Crabtree, Dale Matheny, and Jason Hinkle. Linville would be the top qualifier among nine entries at 13.713 seconds and would also win the heat.
The 20 lap Clayton Homes Modified feature event would see a dramatic finish as Bryan Barber would make a turn two, last lap pass of Benji Lee to pick up his first open-wheel division feature event checkered flag at Ponderosa Speedway in the seat of his B&B Motorsports/Roby’s Country Gardens/Cox Wrecker Service/All Star Performance/Budda Bert Transmissions Sales and Service sponsored #10 Bandit Race Car, Jay Dickens Race Engines powered mount. Lee would finish a close second, as polesitter J.T. Ayers, Michael England, and Dion Benningfield would complete the top five. Rounding out the top ten were Randy Turpin, Kelly Warren, Tom Curtsinger, Kevin Nesselhauf, and Russ Gabbert. Lee would be the top qualifier among 22 entries at 14.851 seconds, with Ayers winning the dash, while Rocky Wilson and Turpin would score the heat race wins.
Bartley Grant would lead from start to finish and take another feature win in the Bob Allen Motor Mall Sportsman division feature event behind the wheel of the Mistie and Tori Grant owned Double J Cylinder Heads/Cookie Monster Power Plants/Copper Creek Welding/Xtreme Style Signs and Graphics/Linville’s Finish Carpentry sponsored #1 Buick Regal. Rick King would again take runner-up honors, with Gerald Haynes, Jr. claiming third. The rest of the top five would be Billy Rigdon and Shelburn Meeks.
