Godwin Overcomes Penalty to Win at East Bay

From East Bay Raceway Park

Tampa, FL — (September 3, 2011) — Jason Webster and Tony Agin were on the front row for the East Bay Sprint Car feature. On the green flag, Tony Agin seemed to be in command. A caution came out on lap nine which brought the field closer. Tyler Godwin was second. On the green flag, Godwin was penalized for jumping the start and several cars crashed on the back stretch, including Agin. But getting the worst was Billy Boyd, Jr. Billy walked away, but his car was destroyed. After the restart, Godwin was moved back to second and was able to gain the lead back. His motor was not running at full power, but was able to pick up the feature win. Jimmy Ballew picked up second place with Kerry Gilbert, Robbie Smith and DJ Peeples rounding out the top five. Agin and Webster picked up the heat wins.
