Finally, the 38th annual Winternationals at East Bay Raceway Park in Tampa, FL got underway Monday with the 15th annual Open Wheel Modified feature that fans had been waiting for since last Thursday. However, it wasn’t because of rain this time that caused the program to be cut short after 17 laps – it was dense fog.
Kyle Bronson from nearby Brandon, FL, was declared the winner after 17 of the scheduled 25 lap event to win over a stellar field of open-wheel modified cars. It marked the first Winternational win for him in the Wayne and Shirlene Hammond owned number 40B car.
Bronson explained the early going like this.
“I knew the inside was the fastest way around the track, but everyone was running down there,” said Bronson. “With Kyle Strickler starting on pole and Dale Mathison taking the lead for the next six laps, I decided to try the outside and it worked for me.”
Bronson took the lead coming out of turn four in heavy traffic on lap seven as fog began to appear above the track. Mathison stayed close in second with Devin Gilpin in third until making his bid for the runner-up spot by lap nine. A second yellow on lap 13 had the fog setting in closer to the running field and by lap 17, the cars on the back stretch were hard to see from the flag stand and the scoring tower. At this point in the interest of driver’s safety, officials were forced to stop the race.
Behind Bronson and Strickle, Billy Workman, Jr. finished third followed by Gilpin and Jason Gross in fourth and fifth. Roger Crouse, Kenny Wallace, Austin Sanders, Mike Potosky and Devin Dixon rounded out the top 10.
Action continues on Tuesday with a double feature event. For more info, visit eastbayracewaypark.com.
