For Immediate Release

RICH BOYER COLLECTS CRA STREET STOCK VICTORY; PITTS AND TEEPE ALSO
VICTORIOUS AT ANDERSON

ANDERSON, Ind. (May 8, 2010) – For the second week in a row Rich Boyer
held off all challengers to capture the Champion Racing Association
Street Stock feature at Anderson Speedway on Saturday.

Boyer inherited the lead on lap three when bad luck again struck
Ronnie Rose when a mechanical problem sent Rose to the pits on the
first of seven caution periods.

Rich Segvich led the first lap from the pole position following an
invert of the top 12 qualifiers. Rose took the lead with an outside
pass coming off the fourth corner and one lap later Rose’s car started
spewing blue smoke.

That gave Boyer the lead and he remained on the point for the next 72
laps, he was first chased by Segvich and Jason Thompson. Segvich’s car
broke on lap 36 while he was still running second.

Scott Neal, who set a new CRA track record during qualifying, ran in
the top ten and near the halfway point started a charge to the front.
Neal got inside Josh Myers on lap 31 to take fifth.

Neal then got inside Brian Hopkins for the third spot on lap 34 but
then slipped on lap 40 which gave Hopkins back the position.

Then on lap 50 Neal got into the back of Hopkins car on the back
straight. Hopkins got loose and was passed by Neal, Josh Poore and
Jeff Lane.

Lane passed Neal for the third spot on lap 65.

At the finish Boyer won by .355 seconds over Thompson followed by
Lane, Neal and Poore.
Nick Moore had an impressive run starting 20th in the 30 car field and
driving to a tenth place finish.

Chris Teepe saw a big lead evaporate following a caution flag on lap
eight and then held off fast qualifier Gary Bragg Jr. to claim his
second Front Wheel Drive oval feature win of the season.

Bragg senior and junior made an inside pass of Jared Keller on the
third lap to grab the second and third.

On the restart Bragg Jr., was able to get inside his father to claim
second and closed on Teepe, but with three laps remaining tried to
slingshot into the lead entering turn one and lost all the momentum
when his car got loose.

Teepe won by .38 second followed by Bragg Jr., Bragg Sr., Frank Gasho
and Don Ellis II. Kokomo based Mad Cow racing claimed the second,
third, fourth and sixth positions with Jerry Dane just missing a top
five finish.

The Champion Racing Association Sportsman Division makes its first
appearance at Anderson Speedway for a 75-lap feature event. Also on
the racing card are the WMDH ThunderCars, Front Wheel Drive Figure-8,
Legends and Bandoleros. Gates open at 5 p.m. with racing at 8 p.m.
