DAVID CLAY TAKES TOLEDO ARCA TRUCKS
5 June 1999
Perfection in motorsports is most certainly hard to come by, but Carlisle, Ohio's David Clay pulled it off last night at Toledo Speedway when the ARCA Lincoln Welders Truck Series made its first-ever appearance at the ultra-fast half mile high-banked oval. Clay, aboard his own #33 HVAC Systems-M&M Precision S-10 Chevrolet, came out fast with a new track record of 17.629 seconds and then followed up with a heat race win before taking the top honors in the main event. Clay, after starting 11th in the 35 lap feature, methodically maneuvered his way forward and snagged the top-spot away from Aaron Hulings late in the race when he Rockford, Michigan driver spun his Ford Ranger off the 2nd corner while leading. Jack Weethee finished a close second ahead of Troy Marciniak, Bob Mickolajczyk and Jeff Speakman to complete the top five.
