Terry
English is 12th Different Super Late Model Feature Winner at
Bluegrass Speedway
Bardstown,
KY-September 19, 2009- Bluegrass Speedway returned to action after a two week
hiatus and Terry English of Benton, KY became the 12th different 44
Auto Mart Super Late Model feature winner of the 2009 season by winning the 25
lap main event.
Timmy Glazer of Bardstown, KY picked up his fourth Street Stock feature
victory of the season by claiming the $300 to special for this division, while
Benji Lee of Loretto, KY won the Modified feature, with Pat Hagan of New Haven,
KY winning his seventh WBRT 1320-AM Sportsman feature of the year.
The
44 Auto Mart Super Late Model feature would see Johnny Wheeler take the lead at
the drop of the green flag, with Lee Devasier, Terry English, David Webb, and
Jerry Rutherford in pursuit.
Wheeler and Devasier would begin to battle for the lead on lap 2, while
Jeff Watson would roll past Rutherford for fifth.

duo would battle side-by-side around the track, while Webb began to challenge
English for third on lap 5.
Devasier and Wheeler would continue to duel for the lead, with Wheeler
getting the advantage again on lap 7 as Webb went by English for third.
The only caution of the event would wave one lap later as Devasier slowed
entering turn one with a broken j-bar mount and Webb would spin to avoid
Devasier, as track officials called the caution for Devasier.
The restart would have Wheeler still on the point, with Webb, English,
Watson, and Rutherford giving chase.
Wheeler and English would settle into an entertaining side-by-side battle
for the lead after English passed Webb for second on lap 9.
Watson would close in on Webb for third and would take third on lap 12 as
the leaders closed in on slower traffic.
English would get the advantage in turn three on lap 13 by using a slower
car for a pick to gain the lead.
By lap 17, English would begin to open his advantage as Watson would
begin to reel in second place Wheeler.
As English continued to pull away from the field, Watson would catch
Wheeler and would have second as the pair took the white flag, but it would be
English leading the final 13 circuits to claim the victory in his Triple A
Fence/Seay Motors/Cox Wrecker Service/Sunoco/Wiles sponsored #96 C.J. Rayburn
Race Car, Clements Race Engines powered machine.
