DEW WINS MOSER SPORTSMAN SHOOTOUT AT MOTORPLEX

ENNIS, Texas – Ray Dew, League City, Texas, took home the win in the NHRA Moser Sportsman Shootout at Texas Motorplex and the NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series.

Dew worked his way through the 16-car field made up of drivers in seven different NHRA classes, knocking out Steve Collier, Benton, La., in the final with a time of 7.258 seconds. Dew took a big starting line advantage and it was over after that as Collier could only watch Dew take the win and the $5,000 purse from Moser Engineering. Dew took out John Leibham, Jacob Pitt and Ed Wright on his way to the final.

Drivers earned points throughout the 2015 Lucas Oil Series with the top two point’s earners in Super Stock, Stock, Super Comp, Super Gas, Super Street, Top Dragster and Top Sportsman earning their way into the filed. The final two spots are determined by a wild card drawing. NHRA’s North Central and Southeast divisional also host the Moser Sportsman Shootout program with the final events set to take place later this year in Bowling Green, Ky., for the North Central and Rockingham, N.C., for the Southeast.

In final qualifying action for Sunday’s eliminations it was Craig Bourgeois, Metairie, La., leading the Comp Eliminator field in his nostalgia dragster with a lap of 6.808 seconds while Stephen Bell, Shreveport, La., heads up the Super Stock contingent at 8.153 in his ’15 COPO Camaro.
