Gabbert, Decker, and Gregory Score Season Opening Wins at Lake Cumberland Speedway
Burnside, KY-March 31, 2012- An early Saturday afternoon matinee of racing action would kick off the 2012 racing season at Lake Cumberland Speedway in Burnside, KY and feature event winners for the day included Russ Gabbert of Berea, KY in Modifieds, Keith Decker of Somerset, KY in Super Dirt Stocks/Sportsman, and Adam Gregory of Gray, KY in Front Wheel Drives.
Russ Gabbert and Chris Johnson would bring the 20 lap Modified feature to the green flag, with Gabbert taking control and opening a sizable lead by the time the only caution of the event waved on lap 8 for a spin by Stacey Decker. The restart would see Gabbert again motor away from the field and drive his unsponsored #11 Bandit Race Car, Time Bomb Race Engines powered machine to the checkered flag first. The battle for second would get wild on the final lap as Tommy Gregory would slip past Johnson for second, with Cameron Marlar also getting by Johnson as well, with Gregory taking second, followed by Marlar and Johnson. Adam Colley would complete the top five. Fourteen entries would see Gabbert be the top qualifier at 14.782 seconds and also win a heat, while Johnson won the other heat.
Keith Decker would take the lead at the drop of the green flag and would lead all 15 laps of the Super Dirt Stock/Sportsman feature event in his unsponsored #2 entry. Kevin Pedigo would close on Decker in the final laps and would settle for second, while Jeremy Howard limped his smoking machine home in third. Roy Petrey and Lindsey Decker would complete the top five. Decker would be the top qualifier among 9 entries as the two divisions were combined with a lap of 15.666 seconds and would also win the heat.
Adam Gregory would lead all 10 laps of the Front Wheel Drive feature in scoring the feature event win in his Friends of Coal sponsored #22 mount. Charles Burton and Rusty Light would complete the running order. Gregory would also be top qualifier among the four entries at 17.396 seconds and would also win the heat.
