Fultz,
Mullins and Cash Wait Out Rain to Win May 31 at South Boston
SOUTH
BOSTON, Va. (June 1, 2003)—After
a three-hour rain delay, the May 31 Armed Forces 150 presented by Bank of
America finally got underway, and it was defending NASCAR Kodak Southeast
Series champion Jeff Fultz emerging victorious. Jimmy Mullins and Jonathan
Cash joined Fultz on the night’s winners’ list.
Jarod Robie
captured his first-ever Bud pole for the NASCAR Kodak Southeast Series
150, turning a lap of 15.644 sec. (92.048 mph). Part of the qualifying
procedure in all four NASCAR Elite Divisions is a draw for inversion. The
Budweiser can used to determine the inversion revealed that six cars would
be inverted for the race, thus defending race winner David Reutimann and
Jeff Fultz inherited the front row. Fultz quickly jumped into the lead on
the start, but the race was slowed for a spin in the opening laps. Fultz
held the lead until 2000 series champion Billy Bigley Jr., nudged past on
lap 14. Reutimann retired early from his victory defense after a spin and
electrical problems sidelined him for the night. Bigley sailed away from
Fultz, stretching his lead to nearly a half-track’s advantage.
A series of four cautions allowed Fultz and third-place Jason Hogan
to catch up with Bigley, but Bigley always managed to maintain his lead.
Fultz used every inch of racetrack he could to get around Bigley, and by
lap 143, he resigned to tapping the rear bumper of Bigley’s Chevrolet.
In the final laps, Bigley dived low, with Fultz clinging to the outside.
The lapped car of Billy McGinnis stalled Bigley’s charge, leaving Fultz
the opportunity to take the win. Bigley finished second, followed by Hogan
in third.
The Late
Model cars started by championship points, meaning Jimmy Mullins and
Philip Morris graced the front row, with Dean Ward and Wade Day following.
That order remained unchanged through most of the 150-lap race, and by the
race’s midway point, Mullins held an extensive lead. With about 40 laps
remaining, Woody Howard sneaked up on Day and passed him, then set his
sights on Ward’s Chevrolet. With five laps to go, Howard overtook third
place from Ward. Mullins cruised to his first victory at Big Daddy’s
South Boston Speedway and retained his points lead. Morris, Howard and
Ward completed the top four in a race that was slowed six times by
caution.
The Sheetz
Limited Sportsman drivers also started their races by points. A miscue
caused points leader Wayne Roach to receive the black flag at the
beginning of the first twin 50, which gave Jonathan Cash the lead. The
defending Sheetz Limited Sportsman champion Bill Moshenek elevated himself
from the fourth position to second, with Bruce Anderson and Billy Myers in
tow. Tommy Peregoy started in second, but engine woes eliminated him on
lap 36. With four laps remaining, Myers finally bypassed Anderson, as Cash
went on to claim his first victory of the season.
The first
Sheetz Limited Sportsman race went caution-free, but the yellow flew
quickly in the second 50-lap race. Glenn Huddleston and Eddie Capps got
together on the backstretch at the opening of the race. Wayne Roach
started on the point, with Bill Moshenek on his outside. Jonathan Cash,
determined to sweep the night’s races, passed Moshenek by lap 15, then
took the lead on lap 36. Cash held on for the sweep, with Roach, Billy
Myers and Chad Mason following him to the line.
