All Star Sprint Race Results - Volusia Speedway Park (FL) - Fri. 2/5/99 - By Scott Hall

BARBERVILLE, FL - Kevin Gobrecht recorded his second career All Star sprint triumph in the 20-lap sprint car feature Friday night at Volusia Speedway Park. As on the night before, the outside front row was the place to start as the Pennsylvania driver led wire-to-wire over Greg Hodnett.

"On lap one I said to myself 'go for it,' and I just hung on and hoped it would work. This is my first time in Florida," Gobrecht recalled of his initial lap move into the lead. He then thanked his sponsor Zemco Headers, Hoosier Tires, Maxim Chassis and Davey Brown Chevrolet Engines. He garnered $3,000 for the hard earned victory.

Hodnett started on the ButlerBuilt Motorsports Equipment Hot Seat pole position underneath Gobrecht, followed on the grid by Lance Dewease and Jeff Shepard as the top three starters had to make the feature by transferring from the B Main. Gobrecht jumped into the lead in the first turn, leading the rest of the way. Meanwhile, Shepard snared second behind the leader, with Hodnett following in third and Dewease fourth as the battle for second, third and fourth was the best of the evening.

Seventh starting Gary Wright moved to fifth around PJ Chesson on lap five, but lost that spot to Danny Lasoski on lap eight with Gobrecht still on top over Shepard, Hodnett and Dewease. Dewease pushed his way past Hodnett for third on lap nine, but lapped heavy traffic shuffled him back two spots the next circuit. Lasoski was really putting the pressure on, and was right on Hodnett for third on lap 14, as Hodnett moved in on Shepard for a great three car battle for second and third. On lap 15, Hodnett took the runner-up spot from Shepard with Lasoski on Shepard's bumper. Shepard held off Lasoski for third as the final rundown was Gobrecht, Hodnett, Shepard, Lasoski, Wright and Dewease.

Billy Pauch finished seventh, earning the "Team Simpson Racing Lucky Seven" award, ahead of Joe Gaerte, who started eighth, 11th starting Frankie Kerr and 16th starter Todd Shaffer.

The United Expressline heat fell to Terry McCarl, the Southwest Expressline heat to Todd Shaffer, the Southwest Glass heat was won by Kenny Jacobs and the United Specialties heat went to Joe Roe. Greg Hodnett won the United Expressline B Main and Larry Pinegar won the Georgia Marketing & Promotions C Main. P J Chesson was the Red Devil Brakes fast qualifier. Thursday night winner Hodnett spun out and tapped the wall in his heat race, forcing him to the C and B Mains.
