DOE RUN, MO--(August 22, 2003) Chuck White began racing in the Mini Stock class at Doe Run Raceway when the class was first formed several years ago and had always dreamed about the day he would win his first feature event. This past Friday night, dreams became reality for White as he captured his first feauture win ever at the Raceway.
Earning a front row starting position by winning his heat race, White jumped out in front at the drop of the green flag and led the field from start to finish. Rounding out the top five of the feature event were: Carl Bellew, Phil Norris, Randy Horton Jr. and Kenny Burch Jr. Following White in the first heat were Carl Bellew, Ron Moser, Eric Bellew and Mike Whitehead. Phil Norris captured the second heat, Burch Jr. second, Chris Pettus third, Horton fourth and Darryll Dickerson fifth.
