WILKINS CLAIMS TOP SPORTSMAN TITLE AT LUCAS OIL
FINALE
Kimbrough, Worner, Miller, Manuel Among Other
Event Winners at Rockingham
|
ROCKINGHAM, N.C. (Oct. 21, 2019) Sandy Wilkins
won his fourth straight Southeast Division
championship Sunday, applying an exclamation point
by driving his 1969 Chevy Camaro past the 66
Chevy II of Jackie Robison of Greer, S.C., in a
final round showdown between the No. 1 and No. 2
qualifiers at Rockingham Dragway.
Other winners in the sixth and final Lucas Oil
Series event in the six-state region that includes
the Carolinas, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee and
Alabama, were Rick Bell of Merrimack, N.H., in Top
Dragster; former Southeast Division champion Jim
Kimbrough of Pace, Fla., in Competition
Eliminator; multiple-time national event winner
Bryan Worner of Duncannon, Pa., in Super Stock;
and Allison Doll of Douglas, Mass., who made an
almost perfect run to beat Ken Friedman of
Independence, Ky., in Stock Eliminator.
Stokesdales Corey Manuel won Super Comp, Raymond
Miller of Spring City, Tenn., prevailed in Super
Gas and Phillip Smida of Canfield, Ohio, made the
most of his visit by driving his 1988 Chevy
Cavalier to victory in Super Street. It was
Millers division best sixth win of the season but
only his second in Super Gas.
Despite weather issues that postponed eliminations
for an entire day, the event attracted drivers and
teams from 20 states and Puerto Rico.
Defending Super Stock champion Hillary Sloan of
Broadway made it as far as round four on Sunday
before losing to Clintons Joel Warren but her
husband, Tim, advanced all the way to the final
round in his 1998 Grand Am Pontiac before losing
to Worner on a breakout foul.
For Wilkins, who has finished as high as No. 2 in
national championship points, it was great way to
end the season. The Mt. Ulla resident opened the
campaign with a win at Orlando, Fla., but had been
shut out since.
In the Jr. Dragster category, it was an
all-Madison final for the 13-and-up title as
Madison Robertson of Ravenel, S.C., was guilty of
a foul start against winner Madison Wilson of
Laurens, S.C. Brody Callahan of Fay won the 6-9
year-old division and Alayna Corden of Monticello,
Ga., prevailed in the 10-12 age group.
