The Lakeville Speedway

The Lakeville Speedway Home Page DUNCAN SECURES 1ST LAKEVILLE TRIPLE CROWN WIN Lakeville, Ohio Thursday, July 4, 2002 With nine Triple Crown races in the books, Wooster's Charlie Duncan had been in the top five in five of those events but was still looking for his first win in the series. That all changed after 50 laps of racing Thursday night as Duncan led all the way from the outside front row to pocket the $3,500 winners share and the Eddie's Sunoco trophy. Pole sitter Jason Flory kept pace with the Leroy's Place, Stoneman, and Jerry Snyder sponsored #17 of Duncan's until lap 33 when Matt Aber took over second and put heavy pressure on Duncan. On a lap 48 restart after a caution, Aber spun but held second when it was ruled that the green flag had not waved, but could not make a run to get by Duncan. Flory held off fast qualifier and 2 time winner of the TCS, Ryan Markham for third as Randy Scott recorded his first TCS top five. Second fast qualifier Rick Bond had a short night when the drive shaft broke on lap nine and Keith Berner, the last chance winner, was running third when mechanical woes short-circuited his night on lap 13. Doug Drown made the biggest move of the race as the 2 time winner of the TCS started 17th and finished seventh and Dave Hornikel reached into the top five for a couple of laps before finishing sixth. J.R. Gentry was running a strong fifth at the halfway mark before fading to 11th. Goodyear Tire points leader Allan Baker had a very short night as he only ran three laps before pitting the #19. By being the fastest qualifier, Markham drew the number 7 for the inversion of the feature as he and Bond was locked into the feature by being the two fastest of the 30 car field. Heat winners were Mark Uhler, Allan Baker, and Randy Scott.
