The O'Reilly MLRA 2005 Thunder Tour book ended the season at Winston Speedway and Al Purkey found himself in the winner's circle both times to make a clean sweep of the O'Reilly MLRA action at the facility. Purkey motored away from the field to lead the entire from his pole position to pick up his third win in a row and ninth overall in the 2005 Thunder Tour.
Once the green flag dropped Purkey quickly moved in front of Joe Kosiski, who started on the front row with him, to build a commanding lead. While attempting to keep pace with the leader Kosiski was busy fending off the charges of John Anderson. The front three remained the same for the remainder of the event as Purkey built his lead to a full straight away over Kosiski to take the checkered flag and sweep the weekends races after having won the previous night at LA Raceway. Following Purkey and Kosiski across the line were Anderson, defending O'Reilly MLRA champion Alan Vaughn, and Sonny Findling to round out the top five.
Thirty-three drivers signed in with Al Purkey, Joe Kosiski, Sonny Findling, and Jason Bodenhamer finding themselves at the top of the heap with heat race wins. Ted Martin and Brandon McCormick found their way into the main event with B feature victories.
The O'Reilly MLRA 2005 Thunder Tour travels to I-80 Speedway at Nebraska Raceway Park for the next event on September 23 and 24 for the Cornhusker Classic. The two day event will see a possible payday of $10,000 to the winner.
