WAYNE JOHNSON IS NUMBER ONE IN "SALUTE TO 360 NATIONALS" POLL
KNOXVILLE, IOWA (JUNE 14, 2001) - Wayne Johnson of Oklahoma City, Okla., is the top-rated 360-cubic-inch sprint car driver in the nation heading into this weekend's 360 national championships, according to the National 360 Sprint Car Poll voting panel of manufacturers, media members, promoters and sanctioning officials. Johnson, a two-time winner this spring in American Sprint Car Series (ASCS) competition and the defending ASCS point champion, earned two of the fifteen (15) first-place ballots cast. Johnson appears to be the early favorite to defend his June 15-16 Advance Auto Parts 360 Nationals title at the half- mile Knoxville Raceway.
Ranked second in the poll is fellow Oklahoma Citian Larry Neighbors. The current ASCS runner-up received four first place votes and has one ASCS win to his credit already this year. Rounding out the top five in the poll are defending National 360 Sprint Car Poll "Driver of the Year" Kenny Adams of Malabar, Fla., ASCS point leader Zach Chappell of Talala, Okla., and three-time ASCS winner Gary Wright of Hooks, Tex. Adams and Chappell earned three first place votes each, while Wright scored one vote, as did Greg Coverdale of Milford, Del., and T.J. Stutts of Etters, Penna.
Other point leaders in the "top 25" are Mike Woodring of Empire Super Sprints (ESS) in 6th, Randy Martin at Knoxville Raceway in 8th, Bobby Clark of National Racing Alliance (NRA) in 11th, Jayme Barnes of Northern Sprint Tour (NST) in 12th, Terry Gray of United Sprint Car Series (USCS) in 20th, and Chris Coyle of United Racing Club (URC) in 23rd.
The National 360 Sprint Car Poll is an official awards program of the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame & Museum Foundation, Inc. <pre> Spring 2001 National 360 Sprint Car Poll: "Salute to the 360 Nationals"
