Demon Possesses Golden Driller with Chili Bowl Triumph!
Lonnie Wheatley, TULSA, Okla. (January 12, 2008) – Damion Gardner picked
perhaps the largest dirt track stage in history to shine upon by racing to victory
lane in Saturday night's 50-lap championship main event at Tulsa Expo
Raceway's 22nd Annual Dodge Chili Bowl Midget Nationals.
After winning Friday night's Qualifying feature, "The Demon" raced into the
lead on the eleventh lap and led the rest of the way to become the 16th
different winner in event history in front of a packed house at Tulsa's QuikTrip
Center and before a worldwide television audience on HBO Pay-Per-View
courtesy of Lucas Oil.
Piloting Jason Leffler's Pace Electronics/Team ASE No. 71g entry, the
winningest driver in USAC/CRA history and the series' 2005 champion bested
a record Chili Bowl Nationals field of 274 competitors from 29 different states
as well as Canada and Australia as he made his first Chili Bowl main event
since finishing tenth in 2003.
"I was just trying to keep the nerves down the whole time, and even during the
race at the end it was tough to keep the nerves down and to put in the good
laps," Gardner commented afterward.
Dave Darland, who finished a close second, responded that, "I was trying to
keep his nerves up there a few times, it didn't work."
Gardner went on to say, "The car was really good when it was pretty tacky all
the way across, but it was getting really slick to a curb. And it was right after a
yellow, I got in a little too hot and caught the edge of it and spiked it up. I just
tried to keep it straight, and when we landed Dave (Darland) was alongside me
but he was on the slick and probably gonna get no traction. From then on, I
just entered a little lower and tried to put in good smooth laps rather than fast
ones."
It was an approach that paid huge dividends in the end for the California
native that now resides in Pittsboro, IN.
Saturday's Bass Pro Shops slate of 21 feature events culminated with the 50-
lap finale, with Wednesday night's Creek Nation Casino Qualifying Showdown
winner Josh Ford on the pole with Friday night's O'Reilly Auto Parts Qualifying
event winner Gardner alongside.
After Brady Bacon, the lone Oklahoma representative in the main event, was
shuffled atop the inside berm in turn one to negate the original start, Ford got
the edge on Gardner as the pack raced through the opening pair of corners.
Ford, Gardner and Thursday's Warren CAT Qualifier winner Brad Kuhn led
the way in the early stages and began to separate themselves from the rest of
the 24-car feature field after a handful of laps.
Working his preferred top groove, Gardner began working on Ford for the
lead after six laps, only to jump the cushion on the eighth round and lose
several car-lengths. Gardner wasted little time reeling Ford back in though,
closing to his tail tank by the time they reached lapped traffic on lap ten with
the lead trio of Ford, Gardner and Kuhn nearly a straightaway ahead of fourth-
running Dave Darland.
A lap later, Gardner charged past Ford for the lead with Kuhn following suit by
taking second upon the completion of the eleventh round.
Lap thirteen proved to be unlucky for Kuhn when the lapped car of Terry
McCarl got loose in turns one and two and collected the two-time National
Midget Driver of the Year. Ford made contact in the melee as well, but
somehow managed to squeeze by to reclaim second as the caution flew.
Gardner quickly opened up a half straightaway lead over Ford on the restart,
with Darland another half straightaway back in third, only to have the pace
interrupted after 16 laps when Kasey Kahne come to a stop in turn three. With
smoke billowing from the NASCAR Sprint Cup star's machine over the previous
two laps, Kahne retired to the infield.
At the same time, Kuhn reported to the work area and was unable to rejoin the
chase, settling for a 22nd place finish in his third career Chili Bowl
championship main event.
Ensuing cautions included one after 19 laps for Cole Whitt, who spun in turn
four, and then one after 22 laps for a four-car tangle in turn four that included
McCarl, Bobby Michnowicz, Nathan High and Billy Wease. Michnowicz and
Wease, both making their first career Chili Bowl main event start, were done
for the night.
Two laps later, McCarl spun to a stop on the backstretch to bring out another
caution. At the same time, Ford jumped the turn two cushion and bicycled
before coming to a stop and surrendering the second position.
Darland and fellow Indiana shoe Shane Cottle closed in on Gardner's rear nerf
bar on the restart, but Gardner was once again able to open up an advantage
of a half dozen car-lengths.
Gardner survived two more cautions over the duration of the race, including
the final one after 42 laps when 2007 USAC Midget champion and National
Midget Driver of the Year Jerry Coons, Jr., got upside down in a turn four
tangle that also involved Whitt and Levi Jones, who had come to an earlier
stop on lap 34.
Darland and Cottle gave chase over the final eight-lap charge to Roger
Slack's checkered flag, but despite one Gardner bobble in turn four with the
white flag in sight, no one was up to the task of overtaking "The Demon" on
this night.
Gardner flashed across the finish line to lay claim to the Golden Driller trophy.
"Jason (Leffler) is really excited, three weeks ago we weren't even going to do
this and hopefully we can take this momentum and continue on through the
year. He got his first car owner trophy, so not too bad."
Darland settled for second in Steve Lewis' Ed Pink Toyota-powered Team
ASE/Performance Racing Industry No. 9x Spike.
Cottle claimed the show position in Daryl Saucier's Chevy-powered DSR Fuel
Systems No. 1st Beast, giving Saucier two cars among the top three finishers
as Saucier also wrenched Gardner's winning mount.
After starting twelfth, Bryan Clauson outdueled Jon Stanbrough over the final
rounds to claim fourth in the Keith Kunz Motorsports Esslinger-powered No. 67
Bullet.
Stanbrough rounded out the top five in the Loyet Motorsports Esslinger Ford-
powered Loyet Landscape Maintenance No. 05s Spike.
After starting 14th, Kevin Swindell climbed to seventh by the midway point and
diced with Clauson and Stanbrough over the last half of the race before
settling for sixth.
Relegated to the tail after originally starting 21st, the 17-year-old Bacon
climbed to eighth by the midway point before falling back several positions
after jumping the turn four cushion before the lap 33 caution. Bacon
remounted his forward charge and got back up to seventh by the time the
checkered flag flew, posting the top passing performance in the feature event
by officially gaining 14 positions.
Two-time and defending race winner Tony Stewart crossed the stripe eighth
after starting 13th, with TSR teammate and 2005 race winner Tracy Hines
advancing from 16th to ninth. Nathan High, the 2007 AMRA champion,
charged from 24th to tenth in his first career Chili Bowl championship main
event.
Bubba Altig's feature ended before it started. After advancing to the main
event by virtue of a fourth-place finish in the second "B" Main, last year's
Cinderella Story of the Chili Bowl Nationals smacked the turn one wall as the
field warmed up and was unable to take the green flag.
Eight drivers among Saturday night's finale were making their initial
championship feature event start, including Swindell, Bacon, High, Levi Jones
(eleventh), Jesse Hockett (12th), McCarl (19th), Michnowicz (20th) and Wease
(21st).
Saturday's Bass Pro Shops feature action started off with twin "K" Mains, with
Steve Davis wiring the first one and then Larry Campbell overtaking Dan
Mecum on the fourth round en route to topping the second one.
Joey Fabozzi wired the field in the First "J" Main, with opening lap leader
Samantha Taylor regaining the lead for keeps on the seventh round of the
Second "J" Main when leader Derrick Myers exited with mechanical problems.
Jonathan Hendrick took over on lap two to top the First "I" Main, with Wayne
Johnson and Garry Lee Maier checked out on the field in the non-stop Second
"I" Main,
Andy Martin wrestled the lead from David Cardey on the sixth lap of the First
"H" Main, with Justin Henderson leading all the way in the Second "H" Main.
Thomas Meseraull blasted past Glenn Carson on the fourth circuit on the way
to winning the First "G" Main, while 14-year-old Coleman Gulick battled past
tee shirt clad veteran Kevin Olson on the eighth lap to win the Second "G"
Main.
Casey Shuman wired the field in "F" Main one, with Dustin Morgan sweeping
past Justin Melton on the seventh lap to top the Second "F" Main.
J.J. Yeley raced from 12th to overtake Josh Richards on the seventh round for
the win in the First "E" Main, with Ricky Stenhouse, Jr., checking out on the
field to win the Second "E" Main.
Scott Pierovich led wire-to-wire in the First "D" Main, as Yeley's past alphabet
heroics couldn't be repeated after hitting the cone and then later spinning out
of contention. P.J. Jones led all the way in the Second "D" Main, fending off
several challenges from Brad Sweet.
Don Droud, Jr., won the First "C" Main after escaping a twelve-car melee
opening lap melee. Donnie Ray Crawford paced the opening five circuits of
the second "C" Main before Levi Jones took command. But Jones was
relegated to second when Terry McCarl raced by and waved "good-bye" on
the 13th of 15 laps.
Davey Ray and Tony Stewart battled for the lead in the early laps of the First
"B" Main before Stewart took command, while Kevin Swindell dominated the
Second "B" Main.
