Waters Little Valley BRP CanAm Tour Winner
by Dave Sully
Little Valley, NY (Sunday May 27).Waters wins again, but this time it was
Dusty - not John.
Dusty Waters - John's younger brother - was in the right place at the right
time and emerged the winner of BRP CanAm Series tour event at Little Valley
Speedway on Sunday night. John is two for two in 2012 BRP CanAm Tour
events. Sunday night it was Dusty's turn for Victory Lane celebration.
John Waters started on the pole and lead until lap 15 when a power steering
line broke and he parked his smoking car in a the infield. Bruce Miller had
charged from his ninth starting spot to second when Waters withdrew and the
scoreboard showed Miller's #80 in the top spot.
The score sheets then reflect Miller, Jeremy Wonderling, Dusty Waters, Dave
DuBois, and Glenn Whritenour in the to five positions. One laps later (lap
16) Whritenour's car came to a stop with a blown engine and the caution
lights came on for the first and only time in the 20 lap contest.
Dusty was running third entering turn four of the last lap behind race
leader Bruce Miller and challenger Jeremy Wonderling. Wonderling's attempt
at an inside pass resulted in contact with Miller and a big time scramble to
the checkered flag was on. Dusty went to the high side and rode his Evingham
Site Services CRS Camaro to victory. His first BRP CanAm tour win and second
ever in BRP late model racing.
Dave DuBois followed Waters' escape route and earned runner-up honors for
his best BRP CanAm tour finish of the early season. DuBois owns two Raceway
5 BRP CanAm weekly event wins, but has had tough luck and two DNFs on the
Tour
Jeremy Wonderling crossed the line third, but was penalized three positions
for his part in the altercation. That moved his brother, Mikey, to third,
Bob Close to fourth, and Miller to fifth.
Notes: Dusty's other win was a BRP Dart Challenge at Little Valley last
September.first time 2012 starters were Bob Close, Steve Watson, DJ Krug,
Jon Rivers, and Alan Wais.Jim Johnson was driving the Jimmy Johnson #39j
after a tough night at Raceway 5 on Saturday left the #93j out of
commission.
