KENTUCKY SPEEDWAY NEWS UPDATE: FRANK KIMMEL ENDURO NATIONALS II PRESENTED BY HARLEY-DAVIDSON OF CINCINNATI AND THOROUGHBRED HARLEY-DAVIDSON OF FLORENCE, KY. (100 Laps/150 Miles) on the 1.5 Mile Tri-Oval.
Aspiring competitors represent Alabama, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and Washington.
As I write this column on my blog, I search for the right words to describe Jay Parrish. As a race fan and being born and raised in Bowling Green, Ky. Jay made me feel very proud to be a Kentuckian and from Bowling Green.
Jay Parrish has raced with many of us local guys including yours truly (Odell). He had folks to help him here in Bowling Green and at the big track. I know Jerry Cohron has helped Jay a lot. I also saw Doodle Dickens, Keith Montgomery and others that I couldn't tell who they were.
Jay went out on the big 1.5 Mile Tri-Oval to qualify and of eighty two cars he qualified ninth fastest. Of all the big name drivers such as Chuck Barnes, Sr., Beau Mitchell, Joe Williams, Mike Velotta, Kyle Hadley and many more, Jay did one heck of a job!
On lap eighteen, Jay was involved in a wreck that sent his car into the wall in the middle of turns three and four. Jay came in to the pits and they fixed his wheel and tire, plus his right front fender and removed his hood which may have hurt his speed. Jay was down at least one lap coming back out to restart the race on lap twenty.
Jay finished in twenty first place, which was a fine job with the damage to his car early on in the race. I think that Jay looked faster at the last twenty laps than he did earlier.
The caution came out with a spin by Chuck Barnes, Sr. and the race started back with twenty laps to go and Chuck Barnes, Sr. #51 started in the rear. He drove to the front to win the FRANK KIMMEL ENDURO NATIONALS II. Chuck was the defending champion in last years first FRANK KIMMEL ENDURO NATIONALS. Congratulations to Chuck Barnes, Sr. with two in a row titles, and to Bowling Green's very own Mr. Jay Parrish.
