“Magic Man” Mark Whitener Wins $5,000 Open Wheel Modified 75-Lap Feature At East Bay
Story By: EAST BAY RACEWAY PARK – TAMPA, FL – Mark Whitener pulled into Victory Lane while holding off a hard-charging Kevin Adams who finished second and Bryan Bernhardt who finished third.
With a few laps to go Adams would keep trying on the high side to keep up the momentum and try to get around Whitener to score another win after securing a victory on opening night.
Whitener said in victory lane that he hadn’t run very many modified races over the past few years but to come here and beat some of the best who do this for a living and travel all over is a big deal and you can tell when you can race side by side with them.
Winning their heats tonight were Phillip Cobb of Dover, FL, Travis Varnadore of Dover, FL, Devin Gilpin of Columbus, TN and Kyle Bronson of Brandon, FL. Winning their B-Mains were Eric Moon of Zephyrhills, FL and Kyle Strickler of Mooresville, NC
In the Street Stocks 40-lap A-Main it was Tim Gay winning for a third night and picking up the $1,000 payday for tonight’s efforts and making him a 2 time Winternationals Champion in the Street Stocks. Finishing in the second spot was Brian Morgan of Okeechobee, FL and Dennis Williams of Zephyrhills, FL.
