Greg Porte Trucks To Victory |
|
(MAY 14, 2005 - SANTA MARIA, CA) Greg Porte flew to victory in his Greg Porte Trucking sponsored 3G as he worked his way around former champion Bobby Elliott on the 20th lap in heavy traffic. Elliott who started from the front row jumped right to the lead as Porte followed and they remained in a tremendous dual for the first 2/3's of the 30-lap feature. It all looked like it could come to an abrupt end as Porte's front wheel jumped Elliott.s left rear. Porte made a truly impressive save, regaining control and reeling Elliott back in. They thrilled the crowd as Elliott held off Porte's attempts at a pass until Elliott got snookered by a Porte move that pinned Elliot behind a lapped car and wheelied his way to the lead and victory. Just behind this dual was Evan Suggs ready to pounce until power steering failure forced a premature end to his night on lap 25. Suggs had a fast car and hung within striking distance until his cars demise. Third place finisher Patrick Frisco drove the race of his season holding off Jimmy Reeves for the entire race. A reeve kept charging but was embroiled in his own battle with Santa Maria's Mike Baker. This was another great trio battling that had the 2500+ crowd at the edge of their seats until Baker spun and backed it into the wall on the last lap trying to make a move on the unflappable veteran Reeves. Fast time was set by Porte's 14.402 with Suggs. Thad
Bennett and Templeton's own Jason Montgomery won heat Races. |
