Terry English takes I-55 win!
Pevely, MO (July 13, 2002) Benton, Kentucky's Terry English visited I-55 Raceway for only the third time the season. After finishing in the runner up position in his two previous visits, English was on a mission to claim his first ever feature win at I-55 Raceway.
Ed Dixon jumped out to the early lead using the heavy cushion around the top. English moved past pole sitter Dave Jumper on the first lap to take second, setting up a repeat of last week's Dixon-English battle. Dixon held off English as the two tore through lapped traffic. Meanwhile, Tim Ratajczyk moved into third and began to hunt down the leaders. On lap fifteen, Dixon and English got into lapped cars racing two and three wide, English used the low side to shoot past Dixon and into the lead. On the twenty third lap the caution flew for the spin of Chuck Baird, but at the same time Dixon's car let out a big puff of smoke and a scattering of sparks and flames. Dixon's night was over and it looked as if Ratajczyk would be able to mount a challenge on the restart, but his car too began to slow as his motor blew a head gasket and began to severly overheat. This allowed English to pull away and claim the $2000 winner's check. Dave Jumper followed him across the line in the second position, with Mark Oller third, Ratajczyk holding on to fourth and Danny Haynes fifth.
