Josh Richards spins out Terry Casey (42) at East Bay
Josh Richards picked up the win Thursday Night at East Bay Speedway in one of the most dominant performances of the 2009 season. Winning by over a quarter lap in the Ernie Davis owned number 25. The win did bring back the thought that Richards can be a bit of a rough driver though, as Richards made contact with leader Terry Casey (see photo above) to take the lead. Once in the lead though, Richards would run away from the field. Richards was very apologetic in Victory Lane, but most of the fans at East Bay would have none of it as he was met with merciless boos from the grandstand. Casey was parked by Lucas Oil Officials after making contact with Richards during the lap 16 caution. Casey is also very unhappy with the Officials stance of the "no judgement rule" which does not place blame for a caution on any driver, and only penalizes drivers who stop on the speedway. (Search any dirt late model outlet for Scott Bloomquist and Dixie Speedway for another example of this rule going awry) Casey summed up his thoughts with this gem: "Pretty much spin to win, I guess thats what it is."
