Sunoco FAST Series Heads to Citrus County Speedway for Race No. 7
The Sunoco Florida All Stars Tour (Sunoco FAST) returns to Citrus County Speedway August 6 and 7 for its seventh event of the 2010 series. This will be the third and final scheduled visit to the Inverness, FL 3/8 mile asphalt track, host to the inaugural Sunoco FAST event in February and its fourth race May 1. A combined field of 25-30 Super Late Model, Limited Late Model, and Crate Late Model entries is expected for the 100 lap feature event.
At the midpoint of the 2010 season, Sunoco FAST officials report that the series’ car-count objective is being met, with an average of 27 cars taking the green at series feature races. Even more significant, though, is the diversity of the entry lists for the first six events. In total, 74 unique race teams have competed in FAST events. There are 21 registered FAST members, with another 53 race teams choosing to compete in selected events. In fact, three of the five series features have been won by non-members, further highlighting the diversity of the series’ appeal.
Going into the August 7 event, Florida stock car racing veteran Wayne Anderson of Wildwood, FL leades the points standings, with two feature wins and four top 10 finishes in the first five events. Anderson holds a 72 point lead over 2nd place Austin Kirkpatrick of Ocala, FL, while 16 year-old Randy Anderson of Wildwood, FL occupies 3rd place, 15 points behind Kirkpatrick. Kirkpatrick and Randy Anderson are both rookies in the series, and are holding down 1st and 2nd place in the race for Rookie of the Year honors.
Non-members competing in the series have captured three wins and set two fast times in the five races, with Plant City, Fl’s Jeff Scofield winning at Auburndale Speedway and Desoto Super Speedway—both times after setting fast time. Herb Neumann of Inverness, FL took first place honors at Citrus County Speedway May 1.
