Las Vegas drivers triumph
Monday, July 24, 2000 | 10:23 a.m.
Las Vegans Dave Quartaro and Scott Gafforini collected wins in the two NASCAR Late Model main events Saturday night at The Bullring at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
Quartaro took the lead from Jeff Wright of San Diego on lap eight of the first 25-lap NASCAR weekly racing series late model feature. By the halfway point, Rick Cobb, a Las Vegas resident, was challenging for the point. Cobb had problems after the second caution leaving Quartaro to hold off Jerry Allec of Carson City.
In the second 25-lap NASCAR late model main event, Gafforini started fifth but found his way to the second-place position by the second lap. He followed Steve Anderson until lap 13 when he was able to take the lead. Gafforini pulled away from the field leaving Dick Cobb and Chuck Trickle to battle for second. Trickle, who is in second in points to Cobb, took the runner-up spot with five laps to go.
