David
Robinson Jr. wins 2004 Civil War championship title...barely
- By Bill Sullivan - PLACERVILLE, CA (10-2-04) - Three weeks ago David Robinson
Jr. of Foresthill had a comfortable 38-point lead in the Hoosier Tires Civil
War Race Series. In recent weeks the 28-year-old from Foresthill has had
his share of mishaps and hard luck, all of which dissolved that point margin
to single digits entering the final night of competition. A final night
that Robinson, the race fans here and a determined young driver named Chuck
Gurney Jr. of Livermore will likely never forget. Entering the final evening of competition in
this 13-race series, Robinson held a 9-point advantage over Gurney who had
charged into second place in the ranks in recent weeks aboard the Brian Sperry owned #51. When the checkered
flag flew on the final 30-lap feature of the evening, calculations show
Robinson won the title by the same amount he started the night with. However,
those digits in no fashion tell the tale of these two drivers and the show
they put on, from the rear of the field.
