Thompson Wins NORTHWEST PRO4 ALLIANCE '08 Opener!
Rochester, WA, May 24th — For the second season in a row, Steve Thompson of West Richland, WA scored the win in the Rockett Brand Racing Fuel 100 held at South Sound Speedway.
Defending FSCRA Champion,
Wayne Dillon, got the night
started by taking the Hi-Way
Auto Fast Time Award at
14:319 and drawing a pill for a
14-car inverted start.
The sixteen fastests cars were
locked into the Rockett Brand
100, so the night began with
the B-feature that would send the top
four to transfer to themain event.
Impact Racing’s Rookie of the Year
contender Cody Stewart would inherit
the pole when Kevin Koepke
developed engine trouble and left the
track. At the drop of the green, Stewart
took charge of the race and lead all 15
laps to take the win. Langely,
BC, Canada driver, Craig
Derksen, would drive to second
ahead of Tom Keehan, who
after a slight crash still took
third. Rob Golden would get the
final transfer spot.
The Northwest Pro4 Alliance has a Provisional starting program that allows two drivers to move into the feature based on their perfect attendance during the 2007 season. Travis




Allen and Johnny Rumsey took provisional's. South Sound




Speedway also used their host track provisional to allow local driver




Renny Marose to join the field.





With the Rockett Brand Racing 100 field set, Lewiston, Idaho’s




Ron Rohde brought the 23-car Pro 4 field around for the start and




led the first nine laps. Then, Rob Powers took his turn at the front




and led until lap 22. He was passed by the defending Alliance




champ Kameron McKeehan for just one lap. Powers was back into




the lead on lap 24, with West Richland, Washington’s Steve




Thompson close behind him. On lap 36, Thompson took the lead




away from Powers as his brakes began to fade, and then contact






between Powers and Kurt Madsen would see Powers spin






wildly. A break at 50 laps saw the cars refueled with






Rockett Brand 111, and return to the track for the






remaining 50 laps. McKeehan held second and would






contend for the lead as the laps ran down. The line-up






would stay the same, as only a couple of yellows for spins






by Neal Latham and Rob Golden would slow the pace. At






the line it was Thompson the winner, McKeehan second






and John Grosvenor in third.






California’s Eddie Secord Grabs Alliance Win
Northwest Pro4 Alliance Media/Bob Coply 6/22/08
Post Falls, ID – Under heavy overcast and a threat of rain
the Northwest Pro4 Alliance Summer of Excitement Series
was able to get the Northwest Connecting Rod Northwest
Pro4 Nationals in the record book.
A field of thirty of the finest four cylinder late models filled the
pits at Stateline Stadium Speedway and their stout hearted
fans were treated to an action packed event that saw
California’s Eddie Secord score the win in the number 72x
Renegade Racing Grand Prix owned by Brooks, OR Terry
Renneck who by the way finish fourth in the sister car 72.
Wayne Dillon of Rochester grabbed Hi-Way Auto Fast
Time award for the second race in a row while Utah’s
Kurt Madsen in the California based Garrett Doyle
Performance Honda won the A dash. Rob Golden would
score the win in the B Dash. Heat race action saw Tom
Plybon, Tom Keehan and Rob Powers all score wins.
B Main Action would see Boise , ID driver Kenny
Chandler drive to the win and transfer spot ahead of Dan Hale,
Renny Marose, Neal Latham and Travis Allen rounding out the
top five, Casey Tillman, Golden, Dan Bedwell and Robert
Quarterman would finish out the field.
The Northwest Connecting Rod Northwest Pro4 Nationals could be
summed up as nothing short of 75 laps of continuous action as John
Jackson would lead lap 1 only to give way to defending race winner
John Grosvenor who would lead up to lap five when a oil leak forced
the black flag of starter Troy Blanton to send him to the pits. Secord
would take over the point holding off challenges from Jackson, Ron
Rohde and the eventual runner up Steve Thompson to score his first
Alliance win. Rob Powers in the Mike Bailey owned Ford would make
a late race run to take third ahead of Rennick who was in a tight
battle with Jackson . Rohde after contact with the back strait wall would hold on to sixth ahead of Kameron Mckeehan who had to race his way back to the front after a lap one spin and another late race tangle that emanated fast timer Dillon. One lap down Bud Rumsey would place eighth with Impact Racing Rookie of the race Cody Stewart ninth ahead of Johnny Rumsey who would round out the top ten. Fourteen of the 21 starters would finish the event with local driver Doug McMillan suffering major damage as his car made heavy contact with the back strait wall on lap 9. Veteran late model driver Darren Shaw who now resides in North Carolina and serves as a crew chief on the Hooters Cup made an appearance in the CelorieTrucking #18 only to fall victim to oil pressure problem that ended his night on lap 18.
Round three of the Northwest Pro4 Alliance Summer of Excitement Series heads to Wenatchee Valley Super Oval
on July 19th where the finest four cylinder late models will go at it again at one of the nicest tracks in the Northwest.
