Saturday May 07, 2011 TIPPIN IS TOPS AT BRIDGEPORT SPEEDWAY
BRIDGEPORT, NJ (May 7, 2011) – At Bridgeport Speedway on the quarter mile track, Jim Tippin topped the field to take the 600cc Micro-Sprint feature. In the 270cc Micro-Sprint division, Ryan Stillwagon was the victor in the main event. Warren Stradley captured the checkered flag in the 4-Cylinder Stock Car feature.
At the start of the 20-lap 600cc Micro-Sprint feature, polesitter Jim Tippin scampered out to the front and was followed by Richie Keller, Steven Bracall and Carl Locuson. Just after Carl Locuson motored past Bracall to pick up third, the red flag came out on lap 2 as Marty Shurr rolled in turn three after losing a wheel. Tippin began to pull away on the post red flag restart with Keller, Carl Locuson, Rick Stief and Bracall in tow. On the eighth tour, Bracall’s ride began to slow and the caution flag was displayed to the competitors. When the green flag was shown, Tippin was able to keep his advantage over Keller. As the race entered the second half, Keller began to reel in Tippin. On lap 12 with Tippin in the low groove, Keller went high in turn one but could not gain the lead. With five laps to go, Keller went back to the high side but Tippin still managed to keep the top spot. Keller remained on Tippin’s bumper when the white flag was shown with the leaders entering lap traffic. Tippin successfully migrated through the lap traffic to secure his second career win at Bridgeport Speedway. With Keller coming home in second, Carl Locuson finished in third. Stief and Ryan Stillwagon completed the top five. Keller, Carl Locuson and Tippin each won a 600cc Micro-Sprint heat race.
After taking over the top spot on lap 10, Justin Stillwagon survived a late race challenge to rack up his third win of the year in the 20-lap 270cc Micro-Sprint main event. Richie Keller set the pace for the first nine circuits before Stillwagon ascended to the lead. Charlie Lamanna moved by Keller for second place on lap 12. Lamanna inched closer to Stillwagon in the final laps but Stillwagon held on for the victory by three car lengths over Lamanna. Third place was taken by Keller. John Blanda won a side by side tussle with Dave Nelson on the final lap to finish in fourth. Keller was the victor in the 270cc Micro-Sprint qualifying race.
In the 15-lap 4-Cylinder Stock Car feature, Warren Stradley took the lead on lap 2 from Kate Raively as he chalked up his third win of the year. Bob Hartman, the winner of the heat race, finished in second place. With Raively claiming third, Art Knapp was fourth and rookie Cheri LaClaire was fifth.
