Kelly Moore Earns 2nd Place Finish at Riverside Park Speedway

By admins May 4, 1998

Agawam, MA — Racing on a tight track for 150 laps with 25 veteran competitors can sometimes be an unmistakable comparison to a championship boxing match, toe-to-toe for 15 rounds. This scenario was played out Saturday evening at Riverside Park Speedway, where Kelly Moore put on a superb display of racing enroute to a 2nd place finish. The first top-5 finish for the Tic-Tac Pontiac Grand Prix team pushed Moore, the 1995 Busch Grand National North Series champion, up 14 spots to 13th in the championship point battle, a mere 88 points out of the top spot.For the 2nd consecutive week Moore was unable to crack the top-10 in qualifying, this evening he was 16th fastest among the 30-car field. Moore, the Busch North Series all-time Pole winner, has yet to display his qualifying expertise thus far in 1998. “Our qualifying has been just terrible,” Moore admitted. “I think I just ran the car too hard and I’m very fortunate that I didn’t end up in the qualifying race.” Moore and his team checked everything on the car after qualifying to ensure that nothing was wrong with the chassis setup. The team’s decision to forgo any changes paid great dividends as the Pontiac Grand Prix ran fast and consistent on long runs throughout the evening.
