Larsson Master at Nazareth
NAZARETH, Pa. (May 18) - In the Barber Dodge Pro Series' first visit to Nazareth Speedway, Sweden's Fredrik Larsson won his second race in a row (third career) by fending off his on-the-road roommate Thomas Schie of Norway. Derek Hill, son of F1 champion Phil Hill, was third, his first Barber Dodge podium, in the 50-lap Saturday feature race. Fun as it is to drive, there is very little room to pass on Roger Penske's funky .96-mile "five turn" oval, and the Larsson/Schie/Hill finishing order was how they had gridded up. Twenty-five drivers qualified, with the first 19 within one second; in the race 14 drivers finished on the lead lap. Larsson took the lead at the start and was never headed, though Schie and Hill had two chances to make runs on re-starts, the last of which was a two-lap "dash for cash." But Larsson said he had a "perfect car, though it was a little loose at the end," and comfortably motored to a .936-second win over Schie. Larsson had relatively little trouble with lapped traffic, though the nose of his Barber Dodge blackened by a large tire mark, but fourth- and fifth-starters Andres Gomez and Jeff Willoughby crashed hard in Turn Three while trying to get around a backmarker. Both were unhurt. Tim Moser, tied with Larsson in points coming into Nazareth, diced mightily with Jeff Bucknum, Seiji Ara, Rino Mastronardi (from 14th, the Most Progressive Driver) and Tony Renna behind the leaders to take fourth and thus slipped nine tallies behind Larsson, while Bryan "Steady" Selby now lies third. Round Five is Monday, May 27 at Lime Rock Park, where last year Larsson gathered up his first Barber Dodge podium (third place). -Rick Roso
