Hockett Sweeps Through O'Reilly Sprint Bandits TNT East Bay Opener
Lonnie Wheatley, TAMPA, Fla. (January 29, 2007) – Missouri's Jesse Hockett
made a clean sweep of the O'Reilly Sprint Bandits Tour 'N Topless opening night
of action at East Bay Raceway Park's 31st Annual Winter Nationals by racing to
victory lane in Monday night's 25-lap preliminary feature.
After snaring last lap victories from Roger Rager in both heat and qualifying race
action, Hockett found himself chasing the cagey veteran once again in the "A"
Main. But when Rager slipped high in turn four on the 12th circuit, "The Rocket"
raced into the lead and never surrendered the point aboard the Wesmar-
powered VKCC Motorsports No. 75 DRC.
Hockett, last year's Sprint Bandits COMP Cams TNT Midwest swing champion,
posted his second career Sprint Bandits TNT feature win in front of Brady Short,
Shane Cottle, Tracy Hines and Levi Jones, with Jason Sides, Mike Brecht, Jon
Sciscoe, Danny Smith and Chris Windom completing the top ten.
