RED BLUFF, Calif. (Nov. 2, 2002) - Round 3 of the 12 race Indoor Winter Season in Red Bluff for the outlaw karts saw new feature winners in all five classes Saturday night. This year's season is sponsored by Benny Brown's Corning Ford-Mercury and Kia. Veteran C W Tiner beat the McCain brothers in the Open Outlaw A feature as Brian McCain edged his younger brother Tyler for second. The finish pulled B McCain into a tie with Daniel Becker for second in points, just 5 behind point leader Sean Becker who didn't make it out of the B Main action. Cycleland champion Quintin Crye from Gridley won the Open Intermediate A Main with Micah Parmer second ahead of Cody Braund. Crye is the point leader with a 7 point lead on Michael Hubert III. Another Cycleland champion won the 125 feature as Grass Valley's Matt DiBenedetto outran Chris Webber and Tyler Wolf after earlier setting fast time. The 11 year old DiBenedetto has built a 16 point lead over Brett Miller in the first 3 nights of action. Defending track champion Derek Kennemore snapped Brian Southers' two race winning streak in the Box Stock action as Southers drove to a third place run behind Cycleland champion Kyle Larson. Southers' point lead is 23 over both Larson and Derek Kennemore. Casey McClain from Palo Cedro won his first Beginner Box Stock A Main of the season and took the point lead from Tyler Reddick in the process. McClain is three points in front of Reddick, who was fourth behind Tristan Miller and dash winner Trevor Tennison.

S Becker was the quickest of the 56 Open Outlaws in time trials with his 8.951 lap. Steven Gannon ran a 8.980 for second and Ryan Foster ripped off a 9.088 effort. Daniel Becker had a 9.097 and Zack Mason a 9.110. Tiner was 17th quick. B McCain was sixth quick and won the dash from the pole. The usual five heat format advanced the top two finishers in each into the A Main. Heat winners were B McCain, Beau Perkins, Ukiah's Rick Schamber, road race expert Bryan Eady and Kyle Hirst.

Also moving forward were Foster and Kyle Cattanach with S Becker, Robbie Whitchurch and Kevin Juvenal all just missing. Cycleland champion Ryan Kaplan had a busy night as he had to start in the E Main. He won the E Main ahead of Josh Chartier, then advanced from the D Main with a third behind winner Pete Johnston and Chartier. In the C Main, S Becker won with Johnston second ahead of Clint York. Kaplan again made the cut with a 4th place run, but his night stalled in the B Main with an 11th place effort. Tiner had advanced from his heat with a second place finish and he won the 30 lap event by 0.7 seconds ahead of B McCain. T McCain was third ahead of David Fowler, last starter Cattanacfh, D Becker and Gannon, the final lead lap finisher. Both Perkins and Bubba Hill were one lap down and both Foster and Hirst were eliminated in the first ten rounds.

Chase Hill, Ukiah's Andrew Anderson and last year's Beginner Box Stock champion Doug Kennemore advanced from the B Main. Anderson had won the C Main ahead of Nevada's Mackena Bell. In the A Main, Derek Kennemore won with Larson second ahead of Southers, Hill, Menne, Garett Mills, Leanna Kenyon and Lentz. Point leaders McClain and Reddick were the two quickest Beginner Box Stocks. McClain ran a 10.721 and Reddick a 10.886. Their domination is shown with the third fast effort of 11.250 by Cameron Bartlett. Kaylee Eiler and Nicholas Bellamy rounded out the quick five. Trevor Tennison won the dash from the pole with Reddick second ahead of N Bellamy. In this class, only two karts advance out of each heat race. McClain, T Miller, Seth Nunes and Kenny Allen won heat race. Reddick was forced to run the B Main, but the Corning racer won that ahead of Jason Mittry and Jesse Taylor. Bartlett took C Main honors with Wyatt Pruitt and Taylor in the 2-3 slots. Pruitt beat Sean Martin and Wesley Dougherty in the D Main. McClain drove to an easy win in the 25 lap A Main with a two second margin on T Miller. Tennison dueled T Miller for 2nd, but settled for third ahead of Reddick, Tyler Seavey, N Bellamy and Jonathan Hoheisel, the final lead lap finisher.
