Richardson wins 4th late Model Race and takes the lead in the regional points - May31st

Bakersfield, CA- Brian Richardson drove to his 4th Late Model WIN of the 2003 season. Richardson who started 3rd quickly took the lead on the first lap with his cousin Eric Richardson right behind him. They both passed the 44 car on the outside and inside on the back straight at the same time. When the race restarted on the 4th lap after a mishap on lap 1, the 2 RICH-PAK Dodge Intrepids were 1st and 2nd. Brian Richardson pulled away in the lead. On the 9th lap Eric Richardson and the #1 car dueled door to door for 2 laps with Eric coming out strong in 2nd place. There was a yellow flag at lap 27 allowing the field to bunch up. On lap 32 the #1 car made another run at Eric Richardson where the 2 drivers drove door to door and Eric came out on top in 2nd place again.

The seasoned driver in the #1 car ran at Eric Richardson again on lap 39 with no avail. When the white flag waved Brian Richardson had checked out in the lead and Eric was sitting in 2nd. The #1 car made a move on Eric Richardson going into turn 3, there was a spin in turn 4 in front of the 2nd and 3rd place cars which forced them high and they made contact in some intense door to door racing. Eric Richardson came in 3rd in a very close finish. When asked about the race Brian Richardson said" The car was great and I feel great". When asked about him being in the lead for the Mesa Marin Raceway Track Championship and 2nd in points for the NASCAR Sunbelt Region Richardson said, " I want to take one race at a time and if its mean to be, its mean to be". This puts Brian Richardson 81 points in the lead for the Late Model Championship and Eric Richardson his RICH-PAK Teammate is in 6th place in points with 1 WIN.
