April 16, 2005 - Hanford, CA -- Third fast qualifier Craig Stidham won his second 30 lap Rebel Cup winged 360 sprint car feature of 2005 Saturday night at Kings Speedway for a $1500 payday. Heat winner Ricci Faria was a $1000 second and fourth quick Andy Ferris pocketed $650 for third.

Tommy Tarlton paced the 12 Rebel winged 360 sprint cars with a 14.529 qualifying run. Mini Sprint legend Stan Yockey was just a tick back at 14.550 and C Stidham ranked third with his 15.745 run. Ferris clicked off a 14.753 and Faria posted a 14.790. Garrett Ishii had a 14.854 and visitor Mark Tabor Jr was the final 14 second car at 14.955. Faria won heat 1 over Tarlton and C Stidham. Young Jeff Delte won heat 2 in front of Ferris and Yockey. In the 30 lap feature, it was Stidham getting the win ahead of Faria, Ferris, Robert Ballou, Ishii, Tarlton, Tabor, Monty Ferriera and rookie Joe Mafara.
