Mike Bowers scores a TEN at I-30 Speedway

Little Rock, Arkansas (September 18, 2004) - Mike Bowers started on the pole and held off the competition to take his 4th career O'Reilly SUPR victory at I-30 Speedway. Bowers earned the B& K Underground Top Qualifier as he topped the first heat race. And he was happy to have the chance to start up front, adding, "it probably can't go any better than it did tonight." Bowers was quick to not that his car worked great and "we got some lucky breaks in with lapped traffic."

Bowers, who scored his first SUPR victory at I-30 Speedway back in 1992, return to the SUPR victory lane for the first time since his big win at the Armadillo Nationals in 2001.

Driving the TEN car of David Yarbrough, Bowers ran the bottom groove and held off the challenge of Rob Litton throughout the race. And while the front duo battle for position, a trio of drivers were storming the high side at I-30 Speedway to the front led by Jon Mitchell, who finished third after starting 11th. Lee Davis, who started 12th finished fourth while Ray Moore, who finished sixth after starting 10th. Jay Blair, who raced with Bowers and Litton early held on to finish fifth. Allen Tippen earned the Creel Brothers Hard Charger award after starting 22nd and racing all the way up to seventh. Mark Andrews, Michael Robertson and Bubba Mullins rounded out the top 10.

The race was slowed by just three cautions, the first for Ronny Adams who slowed with front end damage after contact on lap 2, the second was for debris on the track and the final waved when Terry Henson slowed on the backstretch.

26 O'Reilly SUPR Late Models were on hand. 26 O'Reilly SUPR Late Models were on hand. Heat winners were Mike Bowers, Jim Bryant, Doug Ingalls and Mark Andrews with Terry Henson scoring the Last Chance victory.
