Eight-thousandths of a second. For defending Petaluma Speedway 360 Sprint
Car champion and race winner Bradley Terrell it was the best of times. For hard
charging runner-up Geoff Ensign it was the immeasurable distance between elation
and disappointment. And for the fans who witnessed the adrenaline fueled final laps
of the 25-lap sprint car feature and its photo-finish climax, it was breathtaking.
“It was a close one. I knew (Ensign) had a fast car and I knew I had the car to get by him,” said Terrell, after notching his 11th career victory and first of the season at the Speedway. “It came down to who was in the sticky stuff coming off of Turn 4, that’s how I got by him.”
The two Sebastopol drivers set the stage for one of the most exciting finishes in Speedway history when sixth-starting Terrell and eighth-starting Ensign grabbed the top two spots on Lap 12. On a restart with four laps remaining Ensign darted to the bottom to take the lead, Terrell responded with a successful bottom pass but Ensign came right back. The intense back-and-forth jockeying continued until the final turn of the last lap when Terrell found enough traction to pass Ensign and edge into the front by mere inches, or more precisely, eight-thousandths of a second. Rounding out the top-five were Alissa Geving, Kirk Simpson, and Roberto Kirby.
