Gerhart wins ARCA race: Bobby Gerhart won the ARCA race at Daytona when the race was stopped 54 laps into its scheduled 80-lap distance to allow the Bud Shootout to be nationally televised on TNT (not NBC). Gerhart, who led 36 laps, was in the right place when a second round of showers arrived at Daytona International Speedway. The race had earlier been delayed for 27 minutes. Rick Carelli’ Chevrolet followed Gerhart’ Pontiac across the line. ARCA champion Frank Kimmel was third in a Ford. Gerhardt is also attempting to make the Daytona 500. Woman drivers, Tina Gordon and Sunny Hobbs finished 26th and 31st in the ARCA race, respectively, although both did finish on the lead lap.(Gaston Gazette)(2-11-2002)
