FAYETTEVILLE, GA - The defending and three-time United Sprint Car Series Champion Terry Gray of Bartlett, TN has won the 2004 USCS Asphalt Thunder Championship. Gray claimed the title after the final race of the season scheduled for Mobile International Speedway in Mobile, AL was canceled due to rain, and could not be rescheduled.

Gray won the championship by 24 points over the 2003 USCS Asphalt Thunder Champion Kenny Adams of Malabar, FL. Gray failed to finish outside of the top four in the ten USCS Asphalt Thunder races held this season. The "Bartlett Bullet" had two wins, five second-place finishes, two third-place finishes, and one fourth-place effort.

Adams' finishing record had only one blemish, but it was enough to put him second in points. The "Malabar Missile" had six wins, two second-place finishes, and one third-place finish.

R.J. Johnson of Decatur, TN took the sixth spot asphalt points, and won the USCS Asphalt Thunder Rookie of the Year honors for 2004. The 17-year-old second generation driver had five top ten finishes in nine starts.
