Rickman & Wall Top MSCCS Action in Gumbo Nationals Opener
Greenville, Mississippi (10/04/13) – The 7th Annual Gumbo Nationals opened on Friday night at Greenville Speedway (Greenville, Mississippi) as over 140 race cars crammed the pit area in five divisions with the Mississippi State Championship Challenge Series (MSCCS) hosting preliminary action for their impending $7,500-to-win/$700-to-start finale.
Rick Rickman recorded the best time of the 32 entries from four states, who were on hand, in qualifications around the ¼ mile oval with a 15.275 second lap, and then went on to claim the win in the first heat race to earn the pole position for Saturday night’s 75 lap finale. He was followed across the finish line by Trey Beene, Chad Thrash, and Duke Palasini.
Heat race #2 found Chris Wall racing to the win to earn the outside-front-row starting spot for Saturday’s feature. Robert Metz, Robert Baker, and Clay Fisher rounded out the transfers.
Neil Baggett held off a hard-charging Brian Rickman and William Thomas to score the victory in heat race #3 as Greg Fore snared the final transfer spot.
Heat race action concluded with Ray Moore mounting a late-race charge to claim the victory over Timothy Culp, Kyle Beard, and Tyler Erb in heat race #4.
Action concludes on Saturday evening with b-mains and the 75 lap, $7,500-to-win/$700-t-start MSCCS Super Late Model finale. Joining the Super Late Models on the program will be the NeSmith Late Model Dirt Series, who will contest their own $5,000-to-win/$300 to start event with a program that will begin with b-mains.
