CHICO, CA (5-12-06) - Former
Gold Cup Champion Darrell Hanestad of Clayton won the
wingless sprint main event in exciting fashion. After
receiving the white flag in second spot, Hanestad drove
under leader Terry Shank for the lead coming out of turn
two. He led the final eighth-mile to get his first win
of the year at Chico.
Coming into the night
Danny Olmstead was the Joe Hunt Magnetos point leader of
the division. It was a tough night for him as he had
mechanical problems that forced him not to start the
heat race or B main events.
Dennis Fraser led the 20
car-starting field to the green flag. On lap one he spun
out in turn two and gave the lead to Justin Funkhouser.
B.J. Martin was second followed by Shank. Shank moved
into second on lap six and soon pressured Funkhouser for
the lead. The young Funkhouser held his own and looked
very impressive in leading this race. Shank soon found
himself battling for the lead and took it away as the
laps were winding down. Hanestad was just working around
third place Matt Streeter with two laps remaining. He
then passed Funkhouser going into turn three. As the
white flag waived, he snuck under Shank in turn one and
took the lead coming out of turn two. Shank finished
second and Funkhouser was third. Bob Newberry battled up
to fourth and will be the new points leader. Ryan
McDaniel finished in the fifth spot. Jeremy Hawes came
from 17th to sixth.
Jeremy Hawes won the
12-lap semi main. Taylor Simas came home in second. Dan
Simpson and Jay Youngman finalized the transfers into
the main event.
Matt Streeter won Nor Cal
Performance heat one. Dave Hays Jr. led the field to the
checkered in heat two. Ryan McDaniel won heat three.
David Goodwill led all eight laps to win heat four.
Another strong showing of
31 wingless sprints entered round three of the Feather
Falls Casino Friday night series. Fry’s Metals added
an extra $200 for the win that went to Hanestad.
