Michael Herrington tops Sprints at Pike

 

 

Magnolia, Mississippi (May 25, 2002) - Michael Herrington claimed his second win of the young O'Reilly SUPR Sprint Car season at Pike County Speedway.  Herrington, from Prairieville, Louisiana recovered from a nasty weekend last time out that saw him tag the outside wall during hot laps and then flip his car in the feature.  This time, Herrington wasn’t giving any quarter, as he topped his heat race and easily outdistanced fellow heat race winner, Butch David at the start.  Herrington would go on to lead all 25 laps to take the victory in his Trailer World-backed sprinter.

 

And while Herrington was pulling away from the field, Butch David was struggling with a poorly handling racecar.  This allowed Harold Henderson to close in on David and the pair battled side-by-side for several laps before Henderson was able to take over second place on lap 6.  Henderson tried to run down Herrington but he ran out of laps.  David continued to race on with an ill-handling sprinter and was able to hold off the challenge from 4th place finisher Darrel Hyde.  Rounding out the top 5 was Glenn LeBlanc.

 

Terry Vidrine claimed his third Wynn’s Hard Charger award of the season while recording an 8th place finish. 

 

The O’Reilly SUPR Sprint Cars will return to action on June15th as they visit Boothill Speedway for the first time.
