TAMPA, Fla. (Feb. 5, 2003) - Chub Frank of Bear Lake, Pa., roared from his 15th starting position to win Wednesday night on the second of three nights of Renegade DirtCar Racing Series action at East Bay Raceway Park in Tampa, Fla. The three-time defending Renegade champion shot past 20th-starting Brian Birkhofer exiting turn 4 to grab the lead with three circuits to go and held off Birkhofer by less than a second to pocket the $7,000 victory during the 27th annual Late Model Winternationals.
"Birky and Ray (Cook) were probably the smartest drivers out here tonight," stated the happy winner. "Both of them went with hard tires while the rest of us went too soft. I knew I was in trouble right off the bat, so when that accident happened on lap 4 I had to go to the pits for new tires. The double-file restarts helped us get to the front and then when Ray decided to go to the inside for that last restart we ended up on the outside, which worked. I guess that was the way it was supposed to work out because my inside tires are bald!"
Frank's victory -- his first ever at East Bay Raceway Park and his first of the 2003 racing season -- places the driver of the Corry Lazer Technology/Corry Rubber Corp./Nystrom's Auto Sales/Rocket Chassis/Draime Racing Engines No. 1* Chub Frank Racing Chevrolet Monte Carlo into sixth on the Renegade DirtCar Racing Series career win list with 24 triumphs.
Don O'Neal rode home third ahead of 19th-starting Cook while 25th-starting Tim McCreadie wound up fifth in the final rundown.
Completing the top 10 finishers were Rick Eckert, Earl Pearson Jr., 16th-starting Shannon Babb, Randle Chupp and 22nd-starting Rod Conley.
Pearson and Chupp brought the 28-car starting field to the green flag but before the field could get through turn 1 the caution was out when Frank and Mike Balzano tangled.
The second attempt at getting a lap in was thwarted for debris on the track.
The third time was the charm with Chupp leading lap 1, trailed by Pearson, O'Neal, Eckert and Terry English. Steve Francis grabbed fifth from English on lap 2 with Eckert taking third from O'Neal the next lap. Chupp and Pearson ran side by side for the lead but the yellow waved for a four-car pile-up off turn 2 which involved Tim Dohm, Balzano, Delmas Conley and Donnie Moran. Dohm was the only driver to continue.
At this point, it was obvious to many drivers they had the wrong tires on as a mass exodus headed pitside for new rubber.
One lap after going back to green, Chupp and Pearson continued their war for the lead with Francis grabbing fourth. Pearson inched slightly ahead of Chupp on lap 12 but Chupp regained the lead on lap 13 only to lose it for good to Pearson on lap 14. O'Neal also passed Chupp at this point while Birkhofer flew from seventh to fourth.
It was obvious Birkhofer was the fastest car on the track as the Iowa driver snared second on lap 19. At the halfway point, Pearson enjoyed a slight advantage over Birkhofer with Dale McDowell now third ahead O'Neal and Cook, with Eckert sixth, then English, Francis, 24th-starting Scott Bloomquist and Dan Schlieper.
Two laps later, Birkhofer swept past Pearson to grab the lead but before another lap could be put into the books, Eckert suffered a flat tire and limped to a stop to bring out the caution. O'Neal suffered the same fate on lap 29.
Lap 30 saw Schlieper, Bloomquist and John Mason tangle in turn 2 to bring out another slowdown. All three drivers headed pitside with Mason the only one to return to the action, though several laps down when he did return.
With 15 laps to go, the top 10 running order saw Birkhofer with the lead over Cook, Frank, Pearson and Eckert, with O'Neal back to sixth, followed by Babb, McDowell, McCreadie and English.
McDowell limped to a stop with six laps to go, setting up the thrilling finish.
One lap after going back to green, Frank used the middle groove to sneak past Birkhofer for the lead which he would never give up.
O'Neal snared third from Cook with four laps to go and McCreadie blasted into the fifth slot with one lap to go.
The $34,000 event drew 87 drivers to the semi-banked 1/3-mile track with O'Neal earning the Carrera Shocks "Challenge the Clock" Time Trial Award with his fast lap of 14.296 seconds.
Winning the Brodix, Inc. heat races were Jackie Boggs, Pearson, Francis, Billy Ogle Jr., McDowell and Eckert.
The triple MasterSbilt Race Cars "B" mains fell to Cook, Birkhofer and Schlieper, while Pearson copped the Isky Racing Cams Dash.
In the non-sanctioned Monday-postponed Strawberry Dash for non-qualified cars, Troy Kuyoth grabbed the win while Mike Collins triumphed in the regularly scheduled Strawberry Dash.

TAMPA, Fla. (Feb. 5, 2003) - Chub Frank of Bear Lake, Pa., roared from his 15th starting position to win Wednesday night on the second of three nights of Renegade DirtCar Racing Series action at East Bay Raceway Park in Tampa, Fla. The three-time defending Renegade champion shot past 20th-starting Brian Birkhofer exiting turn 4 to grab the lead with three circuits to go and held off Birkhofer by less than a second to pocket the $7,000 victory during the 27th annual Late Model Winternationals.

Don O'Neal rode home third ahead of 19th-starting Cook while 25th-starting Tim McCreadie wound up fifth in the final rundown.
Completing the top 10 finishers were Rick Eckert, Earl Pearson Jr., 16th-starting Shannon Babb, Randle Chupp and 22nd-starting Rod Conley.

The third time was the charm with Chupp leading lap 1, trailed by Pearson, O'Neal, Eckert and Terry English. Steve Francis grabbed fifth from English on lap 2 with Eckert taking third from O'Neal the next lap. Chupp and Pearson ran side by side for the lead but the yellow waved for a four-car pile-up off turn 2 which involved Tim Dohm, Balzano, Delmas Conley and Donnie Moran. Dohm was the only driver to continue.
At this point, it was obvious to many drivers they had the wrong tires on as a mass exodus headed pitside for new rubber.
One lap after going back to green, Chupp and Pearson continued their war for the lead with Francis grabbing fourth. Pearson inched slightly ahead of Chupp on lap 12 but Chupp regained the lead on lap 13 only to lose it for good to Pearson on lap 14.

Two laps later, Birkhofer swept past Pearson to grab the lead but before another lap could be put into the books, Eckert suffered a flat tire and limped to a stop to bring out the caution. O'Neal suffered the same fate on lap 29.
Lap 30 saw Schlieper, Bloomquist and John Mason tangle in turn 2 to bring out another slowdown. All three drivers headed pitside with Mason the only one to return to the action, though several laps down when he did return.
With 15 laps to go, the top 10 running order saw Birkhofer with the lead over Cook, Frank, Pearson and Eckert, with O'Neal back to sixth, followed by Babb, McDowell, McCreadie and English.
