21 May 2000

LONDON, ON - Stock car veteran Dave Jacombs, of Mt. Hope, ON was the quickest
of the 27 CASCAR Castrol Super Series racers who smashed the existing Delaware
Speedway Park 'Super Series' lap record on Saturday evening. The achievement
earned Jacombs the pole - the first of his career - for Sunday's season opening
Mopar Parts 250 at the London, ON area half-mile oval.
        Jacombs, driving his Speedy Auto Service Ford Taurus, posted a lap of
19.343 seconds during time trials, which was well under the former mark of
20.195. The old record was set by former Eastern Series champion Ron Beauchamp,
last May. Jacombs will front a field of 38 CASCAR Castrol Late Model
competitors - including those from as far away as Quebec and Alberta - who will
take the green flag Sunday afternoon at 2 p.m.
        During CASCAR heat race action at Delaware on Saturday night, checkered
flags went to Scott Steckly, Neil Fair, Brad Jacques and Ron Beauchamp. Neil
Fair's victory in last year's Mopar Parts 250 was the first of his career.Al
Long held off Kelly Williams to win the Final Qualifiers' race.
