Al Purkey added to his O'Reilly MLRA win total by taking the convincing win at Junction Motor Speedway for victory #6 of the 2005 Thunder Tour.
The Coffeyville, KS racer began his march to the win at the drop of the green flag and a heated battle ensued with Al Humphrey and Steve Kosiski attempting to take the top spot. A caution flag on lap three for the stalled machine of Mike Conkwright gathered the field up and once again Purkey was able to hold onto the lead. With Purkey out front and stretching the lead Humphrey and Kosiski battled side by side for the runner up position. While the front three continued to separate from themselves from the field the laps quickly began to wind down in the thirty lap affair. The field was slowed for the second and final time on lap twenty three and as they went back to green Purkey held on for the final seven laps to take the win. Humphrey came out on top of the battle with Kosiski to claim the second spot with Johnny Bone Jr. and Kelly Boen rounding out the top five at the line. With the win Purkey also extended his lead in the 2005 Thunder Tour points standings as he seeks his fourth crown.
Johnny Bone Jr., CJ Lyle, Craig Preble, and Al Humphrey came out on top of the heat race action with Bo Egge and Dean Moore taking the B feature wins. A total of 36 cars signed in on the night.
Next up for the O'Reilly MLRA 2005 Thunder Tour is a return visit to Scotland County Speedway in Memphis, MO on Saturday, August 13. Al Purkey picked up the win during the June 18th visit to the facility and will be looking to make a sweep of 2005.
