Jimmy Rouse
OCALA, Fla. - June 3. Some drivers dream of February. Some dream of May. In northeast
Florida, they dream of June and its Powell Memorial at Bubba Raceway Park, a tribute to the family of James
Powell, who was so tragically lost on June 7th, 1995. With $10,000 on the line, it was Ivedent Lloyd, Jr.
taking top honors.
Johnson kept his #1J on point until he gave way to Lloyd on lap 17. Lloyd held on
for 17 laps until David Clegg, owner of the car Lloyd drove to victory two years ago, spun in turn
three. A six-lap run followed the Clegg yellow flag
before Johnson's turn four spin caused Tyler Ivey, Christian Augspurger, Mike Nasworthy, and Roger Crouse to all pile up. Four of the five were
able to continue, but the hard-charging Ivey, who had gained 14 spots
after 40 laps, would not be able to keep up his good points runs at Bubba Raceway Park.

sixth. Wood advanced to fourth at the finish.(Rick Warren)
Another five-lap green run ended when Roger Crouse stopped in turn three. The restart
consisted of a lead change as Dillon Wood led for two laps, but Lloyd would not be denied again as he drove
back around Wood on lap 48. Six laps later, Shan Smith made a great save to not cripple anybody's race car,
but the caution returned.

Ocala event. Johnson later spun and collected Ivey and several others. (Rick Warren)
The lap 54 restart was called off as the green dropped, so they fell into line for the
restart of the restart. The final 13 laps jumbled some of the top five up, but Lloyd was first under the
checkers, right in front of the only other Powell winner in the field, Johnny Collins. Jeff Mathews
finished third, while Dillon Wood faded a bit at the end to take fourth over 22nd starting Keith
Nosbisch.
