MORIARITY WINS THREE IN A ROW
South Sound Speedway

■John King
Finally, it was sunny, sunny, and sunny all day, June 14, 2008 at South Sound Speedway.
The Super Stocks saw Olympia, Washington’s #17 Bob Presley set fast time with a 13.814. The winner of their Trophy Dash was #99 Willy Thom.
Woodland, Washington’s #95 Rod Schultz, SR. would bring the field around for the start of the 100-Lap race, and lead the first 29 laps, but would retire early with a battery problem. Series points leader, #11 Tom Sweatman’s problems continued, he was out on lap 21 with a blown motor. Presley would retire on lap 34 while running in second with motor problems too. The #54 Mike Obrist would take over the lead on lap 30 with Moriarity in tow. Obrist looked like he was going to win his first race of the season, but on lap 80, he blew a right front tire and headed to the pits. Monroe, Washington’s #5 Moriarity, driving the Brock Rentals, Inc./Total Machine Concepts 2008 Chevrolet Monte Carlo would go on to win his third Super Stock Main Event in a row at the West Coast’s fastest 3/8’s mile paved oval. Moriarity said after the race, “I would rather be lucky than good. You need some luck too if you are going to win and receive the Quality Car Care money, an extra $1,000.00 starting from the last place position”. Rounding out their top five were runner up A.J. Fugitt, Tommy Elstoen, Obrist and Schultz, SR. Quality Car Care put up an extra $1,000.00 if Tom Moriarity could win from his last place starting position.
