Malden, MO - March 21, 2009 – Local favorite Jerrod Hull from Sikeston, Missouri charged from the twentieth starting position in the Parts Plus United Sprint Car Series 30-lap A-Main into the lead on lap seventeen and held on for the victory over seven time USCS National Champion Terry Gray in the sprint car portion of the 3rd Annual Bootheel 200 on Saturday night. Hull who has won four times in USCS competition at Malden Speedway over the past four seasons put on quite a show for the near capacity crowd on a chilly overcast evening. Hull had a challenging evening because of mechanical failure in the Engler Machine and Tool First Heat. While leading the heat race he dropped out and had to start the main event in the eleventh row.
Sixteen year-old young gun Brad Greer from Coulterville, Illinois started from the K&N Filters Pole after winning the Engler Machine and Tool First Heat Race. Greer then led laps one through seven before veteran Terry Gray from Bartlett, Tennessee who won the six-lap Parts Plus USCS Power Dash and the 10-lap Bar’s Leaks Third Heat Race passed him low in turn one for the lead. Gray held the point for ten laps while Hull and 1998 Parts Plus USCS Champion, Eddie Gallagher used the high line around the race track to reel Gray in.
Gallagher from Piperton, Tennessee and Hull moved past Brad Greer for the runner-up spot and third position on lap twelve. On lap fourteen Hull charged past Gallagher into second place. On lap seventeen the determined Hull charged past Gray on the outside of turn four for the lead. He then raced the final thirteen laps to victory lane.
Gray crossed the line in the runner-up position followed by Gallagher who garnered his best Malden finish in recent memory. Another past series Champion, Marshall Skinner from West Memphis, Arkansas followed in fourth place and 2008 I-30 Speedway Track Champion, Justin Sturch from Benton, Arkansas rounded out the top five finishers.
Lee Sowell from Nesbit, Mississippi recovered from a night that started with a roll-over in the the Butlerbuilt Second Heat to finish sixth in the main event. Bryce Vowan from Forrest City, Arkansas duplicate his finish in the seaon opener on March 7th with a seventh place finish. Early race-leader Brad Greer finished in the eighth position in his Parts Plus USCS debut. 2007 Rookie of the Year candidate, Don Young from Bartlett, Tennessee showed some brilliant driving skills and charged from twenty-first position to finish ninth. Kent Buckley from Farmington, Missouri rounded out the top ten after mechanical woes earlier in the evening sent him to the pits in his heat race.
Terry Gray kicked off the evening with a hard fought win over Justin Carver in the Parts Plus Power Dash. Brad Greer won the Engler Machine and Toolfirst Heat.
