Tampa, FL — (April 6, 2013) —
East Bay Sprints had Gene Lasker and Billy Boyd, Jr. wintheir heats and made up the front row for the feature. Before the race would start, Lasker and Boyd were playing cat and mouse with one another bumping the back of each other’s cars on the pace lap before the race would start. When the green dropped it was Lasker leading the field into turn one for the first lap. Then on lap two it was Boyd, Jr. taking over until Lasker retook the lead on lap eight. Boyd and Lasker would battle throughout the race until the two touched coming out of turn four sending Boyd, Jr. spinning and Lasker brushing the wall. Lasker would have to go to the pits with a right rear flat and Boyd, Jr. was able to continue. With just four laps left, that handed the lead over to Johnny Gilbertson with Kerry Gilbert second. Gilbertson crossed the finish line first but was dq’d in tech for the wickerbill being too big. That handed Kerry Gilbert his first win at East Bay.
