Sturgeon Wins at Killeen

Keith “Fabio” Sturgeon driving #77 won his first ever SST feature event Saturday night at Texas Thunder Speedway in Killeen. The pre Halloween introductions and “trick or treat” at intermission gave the audience a chance to meet all the drivers and learn that Sturgeon, who has the nick name of “Fabio,” had be earlier challenged to have his hair cut if he won. True to the promise, Danny Merrell came up with a pair of scissors and made the clip to “Fabio’s” hair in victory circle. Sturgeon, who won his heat race, started on the pole of the feature and lead every lap to take the win. Kenny Elwood in #21 gave chase from his sixth place starting spot to take second. Mike Herring in #99 made several runs at the leaders but had to settle for third from his eight place start. The final SST event of the 2011 season is scheduled for Saturday November 12th at Mountain Creek (formerly Grand Prairie) Speedway.

Howell Wins at 85 Speedway

Jason Howell driving the #44 won the SST A-Main event Saturday night at 85 Speedway near Ennis. Howell started 12th in the inverted field of 20 sprinters and quickly moved to the third spot by lap five. As Ed French in #17 tried to find a way around the early leader Bruce Bridges in #11, Howell saw an opening and made his move into second on lap 12. He shadowed Bridges for five more laps until lap 17 when he took the lead. Jerry Hammock in #01 had to start dead last in the field as his reward for winning the previous event’s A-main and passed every car in the field except Howell to finish in second. Bridges was able to hang on for third after leading 16 of the twenty laps.
