Coy Snags First-Ever Online Win
By Mark Royer, 28-Sep-2007
South Boston, Virginia - Still sitting in the cockpit of his #2 Mach-1 Performance Troyer car, all Richie Coy of SIModified could muster was "Wooooooooooooohoooooooooooooo" during post-race interviews in response to a battery of questions. Coy had just won his first-ever online race in the Big Daddy's 150 hosted by BullRing Motorsports at South Boston Speedway last Wednesday. Coy, who started the fourth of six 2007 STPC Modified Series races on the outside pole next to pole sitter Rex Hoyle (BullRing), found his way to the front on lap 60 when both race leader Hoyle and EJ McDonell (ASRS) had to pit to serve black flags for passing under yellow. Coy then held on to the lead from then until checkers in the 150 lap event. As an added bonus, the victory leap frogs Coy to the top of the STPC Modifieds Series points race.

Following Coy over the last 31 laps was defending STPC champion Keith Moore (BumpDraftin) who pulled in for second place. Skip Honaker (ASRS) and Jacob Klein (HPCORS) battled over the last laps finishing third and fourth, respectively, leaving Chuck Darling (SIModified) to round out the top five.

"It was a great show from the stands gentlemen!" declared Paul Boswell, manager of the Short Track Sim website and ASRS driver who retired early. "I agree," amplified Mark Royer, STPC Administrator, "the added downforce and tire grip of these cars makes for some great racing!"

As the hampionship points race heats to red-hot, STPC drivers will turn their attention to the next race in the series, the NASCARACEPIX 150 hosted by NWSTS at I-70 next October 14th.
