Cap Henry put in a solid performance with the All-Star Circuit of
Champions on Night #1 at Ocala Speedway last Friday. The 19 year old
Bellevue, Ohio native will take on the best in the sprint car business
during his Rookie season with the All-Stars and proved he was up to the
task.
Cap qualified 23rd out of the 30 drivers in attendance with many from
the World Of Outlaws circuit. The qualifying time would help Cap make
the A-main directly from his heat as he had the pole position of heat
race #3 with the top 5 automatically transferring to the main event. Thanks to some ruts between turns 1 & 2, Cap settled for the third spot
transfer into the “A” main.
Florida Crew Chief A.J. Havens gave Cap the best advice by telling him
to take it easy in turn one with an expected “first race, first turn
accident”…and there was. Starting 22nd, he steared clear as veterans
Dean Jacobs, Lance Dewease, and Bill Rose watched from the sidelines
since they did not make the final.
.
As the race finally began, Cap was able to settle in to a strong pace
and hold his own, coming home 19th. With fellow rookie Jarrod Ridge not
making the show, he leaves Ocala with an initial lead in the “Rookie of
the Year” Honors although there is a very long season ahead.
The second night at Ocala was rained out and the team moves to Volusia
Speedway for nights 3 & 4. The rain is finally clearing allowing for
racing tonight and Thursday so stay tuned!
