Destiney Hays wins as pavement rookie in USAC Western States Sprint Cars

10/16/04 – Las Vegas , NV . …Destiney Hays never had much fun in Las Vegas in her previous visits. She was under 21 years-old which pretty much eliminates any possibility of a good time in the adult Disneyland in the desert. Now her perspective is changed for good. Of age, and racing for the first time in Vegas as a 21 year-old, Hays won the United States Auto Club (USAC) Western States Sprint Car feature event Saturday night at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway Bullring. Driving the family owned, Hays Equipment Rentals #28, she inherited the lead on lap 21 of 40 when Tim Barber broke while at the point. Hays then withheld the challenges of Robert Beck to win the Orleans Hotel and Casino sponsored event.

“I just wanted to be as smooth as possible,” said Hays, after thanking her parents, and crew. “We had a lot of good luck tonight.”

Michael Trimble finished third, Brian McClish was fourth, and Jimmy Waters completed the top five in the 20-car A-Main. Brad Bumgarner, Michael Lewis, and Tim Barber were heat race winners, while Tony Hunt won the B-Main. Hunt regained the points lead over teammate and defending series champion, Michael Lewis. Lewis was challenging Barber for the race lead on lap 17 when his racer suddenly took ill and dropped from the competition. Hunt posted quick-time at 13.985 seconds in one of three Western Speed Racing entrants.

The series has only two remaining events. Rounds 14 and 15 are set for November 20^th, and 25^th respectively. The Old Pueblo Classic at Tucson Raceway Park will serve as the penultimate race, with Irwindale Speedway’s Turkey Night wrapping up the season for the colorful and fast sprint cars.
