Myrtle Beach, SC — Round No. 2 of the Championship Series is
in the books, and Gary St. Amant, who has been ranked No. 1 since
the second race of the season, now finds himself looking up at Bobby
Gill.
Gill, a 3-time Pro Cup champ, moved 29 points ahead of St. Amant
with a sixth-place run at Iowa Speedway. St. Amant was taken out
late in the race and finished 24th.
Matt Carter made the most gains at Iowa, jumping to third, 53 points
behind Gill.
There are just three races left to decide the overall Hooters Pro
Cup Champion, Miller Lite Rookie of the Year and the recipients of
over $1,000,000 in purse and point funds.

Iowa Review
Benny Gordon suffered a rare mechanical failure at Iowa
Speedway. For just the second time in four years, his
Predator Performance powerplant broke early in the event
and forced him behind the wall in 35th-place. |
Myrtle Beach Preview
Gordon’s mastery of Myrtle Beach Speedway has been challenged in
recent years, but he feels like that will change this weekend. It
better, or Gordon might slip out of contention for his second title.

10/23/04&10/22/05)
