wins the Orleans 150 from the Pole
LAS VEGAS, NV - Jerry Nadeau wins his first ever Winston West race by
winning from the pole in the Orleans 150 from Las Vegas.
|
| Nadeau
Wins Pole Position for Orleans 150
LAS
VEGAS (March 5, 1999) -- NASCAR Winston Cup driver Jerry Nadeau qualified
on the pole for his first race in the NASCAR Winston West Series.
Nadeau
posted a top speed of 166.246 mph in his No. 9 Melling Engine Parts Ford
to grab the pole for tonight's Orleans 150 at the 1.5-mile Las Vegas Motor
Speedway. His speed was more than one mile per hour faster than his
nearest competitor, Ricky Craven, who qualified second at 165.052 mph.
Nadeau's NASCAR Winston Cup team, Melling Racing,
is fielding cars for him in both the Orleans 150 and Sunday's Las Vegas
400 Winston Cup race.
"The guys at Melling Racing did a good job to
put this car together for me," said the 28-year-old Danbury, Conn., native.
"They really stepped up to give me such a great car for the Winston West
race while they are getting ready for the (Winston) Cup race, too."
"Tonight's race will help us a lot when it comes
time for the Winston Cup race," Nadeau explained. "There's not much
difference between the two cars, so this lets us get a lot of good time
on the track and will help me learn the best line around track -- almost
like a test session. Drivers are always looking for an edge and I
think this race will be mine for Sunday." |
