UNDERWOOD
WINS FIFTH STRAIGHT AT VENTURA RACEWAY
VENTURA, Calif. (May 9, 2009) –
Camarillo teenager Brent Underwood came
from behind to win his fifth straight
Sport Compact Rear Wheel Drive main
event at Ventura Raceway and remained
undefeated in 2009.
Underwood, 18, was racing for the lead
in his class when he spun about halfway
through the 20-lap feature. Forced to go
to the rear of the field, he charged
back to the front and slipped under
Ventura’s Jason Marshall in the final
corner of the final lap and won the
sprint to the finish line. A late-race
caution period set up the final run to
the finish.
“I just tried not mess up,” Underwood
said. “I went on the bottom. I don’t
know how I passed (Marshall).”
The Sport Compact category is split into
two different classes, for front and
rear wheel drive cars. Santa Paula’s
Darren Gunnell, driving in the Front
Wheel Drive class, was the overall
winner.
The other feature winners at Ventura
included track favorite Cory Kruseman
(Ventura) in Sprint Cars, Damon Redman
(Santa Paula) in the IMCA Modifieds, Ray
Estrada (Yucaipa) in the Pro Dwarf Cars,
Ed Niedzwiecki (Ventura) in the Senior
Dwarf Cars, Cameron Dougan (Camarillo)
in Junior Midgets, Zachery Gilmore
(Woodland Hills) won the Mini
Dwarf-Pistons feature, and Ricky Lewis
(Oxnard) won in the Mini
Dwarf-Superchargers.
Underwood’s chances for extending his
winning streak seemed slim after he
spun. He admitted later that, after the
spin, his only thought was to make the
best of a difficult situation.
“I was thinking, ‘I’ve got to pass as
many cars as I can because I need the
points,’” said Underwood. It turned out
that he passed just enough cars to win
his class.
The next race for the Sport Compacts is
scheduled for June 6. Underwood
downplayed his chances of winning his
sixth on the sixth.
“We just try to be consistent,” he said.
In his case, remaining consistent would
mean winning again.
Kruseman’s Sprint Car win extended a
very different streak at the Raceway. No
driver has won twice in that class this
season.
The event attracted 138 entrants.
