Jay Drake and Eric Gordon captured feature victories in "classic" Stoops Freightliner USAC Sprint Car events this past weekend but Derek Davidson is series point leader after the two series openers.

Gordon, of Indianapolis, Ind., wheeled his Arctic Cat Special to victory in Sunday's 50-lap "Glen Niebel Classic" at the Anderson (IN) Speedway, passing Jason McCord for the lead on the 44th lap. McCord led the first 43 laps of the race but slipped to third at the checkered flag behind Gordon and Davidson. Brian Gerster finished fourth and Jack Hewitt was fifth. Gordon was also the fastest of 27 Sprint car qualifiers at Anderson with a lap at 11.605 seconds. Drake, of Val Verde, Calif., passed Tracy Hines on the second lap of Saturday night's "Don Branson/Jud Larson Classic" at Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio, then led the rest of the way in his KECO/Hoosier Tire Special.
