Brady Short USAC Track Record 15.027
Tampa, Fla…2.8.10….Damion (The Demon) Gardner of Concord, Calif. took advantage of first-
lap spins by both front-row starters Monday night and ended up leading all 30 laps of the 2010
Amsoil USAC National Sprint Car Series opener at East Bay Raceway Park. The “Bubba Army
Sprint Nationals” continue Tuesday and Wednesday nights at the third-mile dirt oval. Gardner
was slated to start fourth but a spin by rookie pole starter Ricky Williams on the first lap and a
subsequent spin by outside-front row starter Shane Hmiel on the restart left Shane Cottle and
Gardner lined up on the revised front row. Gardner fought off Cottle’s challenge to lead the first
lap and stretched his lead in his Pace Lighting Eagle/Shaver to a full straightaway before the field
bunched up under the yellow flag at lap 23. Gardner then pulled away in the closing laps to win
the race over Bryan Clauson, fast qualifier Brady Short, Cottle and Jon Stanbrough. Defending
series champion Levi Jones finished seventh after starting 14th. The finish left Gardner and
Clauson tied for the series point lead after the opening race.
