Terry Gray streaks to USCS “Thursday Thriller” win at Lavonia

(USCS photo) - LAVONIA, GA - July 17, 2014 - You can never keep a champion down for long and once again, wily veteran Terry Gray proved why. The ten-time United Sprint Car Series filtercharged by K&N champion from Bartlett, Tennessee powered to the outside of K&N Filters pole-sitter Jay Dunham from Augusta, Georgia in the opening corner of Thursday night’s “Thursday Thriller” 30-lap feature event at Lavonia Speedway and held on the entire distance, despite two early-race red flags, to bank his second USCS feature victory of the 2014 season. The win was Gray’s 88th career series victory and broke a nearly two-month dry spell for the perennial championship contender and race winner.

“It feels really good to get back here (to Victory Lane) tonight,” Gray expressed in www.rockauto.com USCS Victory Lane following the event. “I got a little nervous when I couldn’t get by the slower traffic ahead of me there late in the race, and I knew (teammate) Morgan (Turpen) was coming behind me, but I figured if I couldn’t get by them that no one was going to have the steam to pass me. Morgan ran a great race though, and this is a great night for our team.”

Magic races to 2014 www.rockauto.com USCS 600 win #1 at Lavonia

“What a night for us,” Magic expressed after the race. “We’ve been struggling so far this year, but coming home to Georgia and running like this tonight, it really means a lot to me. I’m almost speechless. Thanks to everyone for the support; we couldn’t do it without you.” The race was only slowed by caution once in the 15 laps, when the #6 of defending series champion Sean Hosey spun in turn two and came to a stop.

“We were just riding around the bottom tonight, and I wasn’t gonna give the bottom up,” Crawley said after the win. “Lap traffic was fixing to be pretty difficult there if we had had a few more laps, but the starting position and drawing a zero (in the inversion by first heat winner Cody Gardner) meant a lot tonight. It’s three in a row, and you take ‘em any way you can get ‘em.”
