ARGUBRIGHT, EDDY JR. TOP
BITD VEGAS TO RENO
N
ot long after crossing the
finish line, Jacob Argubright
headed straight to the hospital
where he needed a number of
stitches to close the wound on
his horribly gashed arm.
It wasn't the way he expected
to end up after winning the 22nd
General Tire Vegas to Reno, Pre-
sented by Fox, in Nevada, August
17, with teammate Max Eddy Jr.,
but he savored the victory none-
theless, something the Chidester
Transport Racing Yamaha rider
has chased for three years while
Eddy's sought it for 15.
"Third time's the charm," Argu-
bright quipped.
First to the finish, however, was
the Cooper Motorsports 747 entry
of Brody Honea, who partnered
with Vegas-to-Reno first-timers
Ross Neely and Justin Wallis,
team regular Tallon Taylor having
to sit out due to injury. First off
the line in Beatty at 5:45 A.M.,
they'd battled back and forth with
Argubright/Eddy as well as the
last-minute entry of Chris Brown/
Shane Esposito, ending up sec-
ond on corrected time, though
that was sufficient to clinch the
series championship.
