White turns in dominating performance in
winning NOS Foundation 100 at Orange Show Speedway
SAN BERNARDINO (Oct. 7, 2007) –
Linny White turned the NOS Foundation 100 into his personal showcase
Saturday night at Orange Show Speedway, turning the quickest lap in
qualifying and leading the 100-lap Super Late Model race from start
to finish.
White, 29, of Fontana , collected the $1,500 winner’s
share of the purse for the open competition race by outlasting Ramona’s
John Manke and Highland ’s Glen Cummings, the past two class champions,
in a race slowed by five cautions.
White, who started his Chevrolet Monte Carlo on the
outside of the front row in the 18-car field, took the lead from Charles
Price at the start and kept the number 55 in the first-place spot on
the new Lucas Oil-funded electronic scoreboard overlooking Turns 1 and
2.
White got some pressure early from Rick Chavez. But
Price took second from Chavez before the one-third mark and with the
help of caution flags was able to stay close enough to be a concern
until lap 91, when he got spun by a slower car. That gave second to
Cummings, the defending track champion, who yielded the position to
2005 champion Manke with five laps to go.
Chavez was running a strong third until lap 79, when
he suddenly slowed with mechanical problems and left the track.
It was the third win in six starts for White on the
ASA-sanctioned quarter-mile at the National Orange Show Events Center
. He has two seconds and a third in the other races.
Randy Becker Jr., of Highland , won the slam-bang,
30-lap main event in a Pro 4 class dominated by Eddie Secord, who had
won nine of the previous 11 races. Secord finished only eighth, but
still took the class points lead with two races to go due to the absence
of former leader Rex Lockwood.
Spencer Samaro, 18, of San Bernardino , clinched
his second championship in three years in the 30-lap Aflac Factory Fours
main event. Samaro, who won the Sport Truck title in 2005, finished
second to Hemet ’s Martin Huizenga in the race, then picked up
the win when Huizenga’s Nissan pickup was disqualified in the
post-race inspection.
Dean Caskey, the defending Mini StocKar champion,
moved within four points of leader Mike O’Hara with one race to
go by capturing the 20-lap main event over O’Hara. Tony Forfa
IV, 9, of Redlands, inherited the Jr. Mini StocKar win and the class
points lead when Benjamin Mahan, 12, of Hesperia, was disqualified after
what would have been his sixth win in as many races this season and
his 14th in a row overall.
In addition to the disqualifications of Huizenga
and Mahan, Super Late Model driver Dave Scheidecker was fined $50 when
one of his crew members violated speedway Rule 6-1.3.1, which addresses
profanity directed toward an Orange Show Speedway official or fellow
competitor.
