RECORDS: DRIVER DATE TIME/SPEED Qualifying: Brian Smith June 15 2001 35.413 Secs/152.486 mph 100-Lap: Jeff Fultz June 15 2001 1 Hr. 05 Mins. 52 Secs, 136.640 mph
EVENT REVIEW: In an event that was delayed over two hours due to an horrendous rainstorm that moved through the area four hours before race time, Jeff Fultz, originally from Cincinnati, Oh, and now calling Mooresville, N. C. home, returned to the track he considers his home track with the Gatorade All Pro Series, NASCAR Touring and dominated the event by leading 66 of 100 laps. Fultz, starting outside front row with Bud Pole winner Brian Smith, swapped the lead with Smith over the first three laps before Smith forged ahead on lap four. Fultz dogged Smith as the two drivers stayed one-two over the next 28 laps with Fultz going to the front on lap 32. The only race caution waved on lap 39 allowing many of the lead lap cars to pit for tires and fuel. Wireway/Husky, Corp. Rookie-of-the-Year contender Richie Beasley did not pit and assumed the lead. When the green flag waved on lap 45, Fultz wasted little time regaining the point the next lap and leading the remainder of the race to secure his first win of 2001. This event marked the second appearance for this series at Kentucky Speedway.
