Moore earns second sweep at
Stockton 99
The Record
Published Monday, May 9, 2005
 John Moore,
#27, earned
his second consecutive sweep at Stockton 99 Speedway, but Pete
Anderson made sure it wasn't an easy accomplishment.
Moore and
Anderson battled for the lead during the entire NASCAR Western
Late Model main event, but Moore was finally able to get
control of the race and got the victory on Saturday night.
Moore won the main event, the trophy dash and was the fast
qualifier as he pulled off the clean sweep. He also swept the
WLM program on April 16 and both wins for the Granite Bay
driver have come in his new 2005 Chevrolet Monte Carlo.
 "We've run the
car twice, and we've won twice, and this was a very tough one
(on Saturday)," Moore said. "It was without a doubt one
of the
best dogfights I've ever been in, and intensity of the racing
was top caliber."
Moore set the
fast qualifying time at 14.331 seconds and won the dash. Moore
got to pull the card to set the inversion for the main event.
He pulled a zero, meaning there was no inversion and as the
fast qualifier, he got the pole. Anderson started next to him
on the front row, and
 the battle began.
Moore edged ahead
on the first lap, and led until there was a yellow flag on
lap 11. Anderson took the lead on the restart and led until
another caution period four laps later.
Moore took the
lead back on the restart, and never trailed again.

In the American
Limited Stock Car Division Kannai Scantlen of Stockton
 won his
second main event of the season. It didn't come easy as Rich
Harper of Stockton in his new #5 Graduate sponsored rig was
wide and in the lead for the first half of the race. But Scantlen's persistent road course maneuvers starting the race
from mid-field got him by lap-24 within striking distance of
Harper. Scantlen and Harper split and passed lapped traffic
again and again in an incredible driving display. Also from Stockton, #75 Chad Holman was coming on and
points leader Harper was possibly showing tire wear as at the
checkered flag it was Scantlen, Holman, Harper with Charlie
Clawson of Modesto fourth and another Stocktonian in fifth,
Joe Allen.
Donnie Darter, #99, of Stockton set a new ALSC Track
Qualifying record of 15.802.
Philpot and
Linstroth Stage Epic Battle, Gottula Wins War
by
Stockton99speedway.comIn the Grand American
Modified Division, the sleek IMSA style open wheel
 all-horsepower, no weight racecars took off in their Main
event with Sacramento's #5p, Jason Philpot taking the lead, with 99
newcomer #42, from Dixon Jerry Dubach in second. Track Announcer
Bruce Riley picked third place holder Mike Regelman as the
first three looked like they could run off with the race. But
after two yellow flags #10a, Jay Linstroth of Citrus Heights
had worked his way up to third place
 from his starting
position of 6th, as well as Mike Beeler, #15, and Kyle Gottula,
#21, of
Modesto were coming on strong. Linstroth grabbed second spot
on another re-start and the door to door battle was on.
Masterfully done by both drivers, #5 (Philpot) and 10a (Linstroth),
drove hard with both pushing their machines to the limit. Ten
as it would likely happen, a racing accident with Linstroth
nudging Philpot and spinning him in turn 2. Normally in such
an event both cars would go to the back of the pack. But as
they came around the turn to re-group unknown to the fans, Linstroth gave Philpot a little nudge from behind and
the Philpot brake checked
 Linstroth under the yellow
condition. The result was Linstroth being ejected and Philpot
to the back. This opened the door to Kyle Gottula, the second
generation driver from Modesto, for the win with Mike Beeler
of Stockton second, Mike Regelman third, Jerry Dubach fourth
and Stockton's #11 Stuart Cullom who kept driving even though
suffering mechanical problems to finish fifth.
