White Wins a Wild One

Former teammates and long time Houston are rivals, Howard Willis and Johno Whittington paced the 24-car starting field to green for 30 lap Modified Championship finale. The two stayed side by side through turns 1-2, but as the pack stacked up on the start, Keith Green got turned into the inside guard rail to bring about a restart. The next try saw George White, from row 2, duck under Willis going into turn 1. G. White came out with the point bringing Chad Wheeler along to second.

 

Whittington was next to get by Willis snagging third on lap 1. Jeremy Tibben and Chris Brown were wheel to wheel on lap 2 for fifth, while John Allen and Dennie Gieber ran side by side for seventh. Tibben and Gieber were trying the high side, but losing ground by lap 4. G. White inched away to a five car length margin on lap 5. Paul White, who started at the back, worked his way up to tenth, running along side Tibben on lap 7. G. White increased his lead to seven cars ahead of Wheeler, Whittington, Willis, Brown, Allen and Randy Timms who were running nose to tail.

 

Just as it looked like G. White might run away and hide, yellow waved for Gieber, who rolled to a stop on lap 11 in turn 4. On the restart, the top three broke away from Willis, who would then lose spots to Brown and Allen. Up Front The battle for the top spot was heating up with Whittington, on the high side getting by Wheeler. Whittington got a peek at the lead on lap 12, but G. White held steady. Wheeler then moved back under Whittington as they ran side by side for second.

 

Whittington again drove in hard to get a look at the lead, but fell back in the clutches of Brown. At the crossed flags it was G. White, Wheeler, Brown, Whittington and Allen rounding out the top five. Allen tried to get inside Whittington with two making contact on lap 16. The top three put a little distance on Whittington and Allen, who had a gap back to Willis and Timms. Wheeler then started to try the high side and get a run on G. White down the back stretch. The two rubbed going into turn 3, with G. White holding on.

 

As the leaders battled, Whittington was able to close back in, bringing Allen, Willis and Timms along. Wheeler took a peek high again in turn 1 on lap 23, but fell back in line. Wheeler tried the high move again on lap 24 with the duo wheel to wheel at the line. With five to go, the top six were now nose to tail in a shootout to the finish.

 

Brown then tried inside Wheeler for second as the laps wound down, but Wheeler held him off. Brown made a dive bomb move for the lead on lap 28, trying to get under both G. White and Wheeler going into turn 1. Browns moved failed and he fell to fourth, while Wheeler and G. White ran side by side on the back stretch. The G.

Ingalls, Durrett and Ju. Ingalls in the top five. Durrett would get past D. Ingalls on lap 20 for third on the back stretch. Litton saw his six car length lead evaporate as he ran into traffic on lap 25, allowing Schrader and Durrett to close the gap.

 

The top three broke through traffic on lap 28 and Litton built a three car margin over Schrader. More traffic for the leaders on lap 35 gave Litton the chance to get away from Schader and Durrett who were hung up behind William Gould. This gave D. ingalls the opportunity to catch Durrett. Coming to the white flag, Litton had a five car advantage and the lap car of Gould between himself and Schrader. At the checkers it was Litton in the Kim Johnson Fabrication, Litton Motorsports, Glass Tech, TMW, Trey-man, Shaw Chassis taking the win
