Slick Willie Brainerd took the win Sunday (10/7)  during the O’Reilly

Super Chevy Show  presented by JEGS – Aeromotive Nitro Coupe Challenge at

San Antonio Raceway, but  Willie couldn’t gain enough ground in the points

to join Missouri brothers Cody and Zach Barklage and Tennessee’s Tony

"Sandman" Williams as the front-runners for the 2007 world championship. 

After San Antonio and with just two national events to go, Cody Barklage has

a 20 point lead on Tony Williams with brother Zach 25 points behind Williams.

In San Antonio, both Barklage brothers displayed the awesome ETs and

speed that have marked their run to the top of the Aeromotive Nitro

Coupe standings, but it was Louisiana’s Bill Doucet who notched low

qualifier honors with a stunning 6.0887 at 222.88 mph in his Corvette

Aeromotive Nitro Coupe.  On elimination Day, Willie Brianerd did Cody

Barklage a huge  favor

when he took out "Sandman" Williams in the semis, thus

setting up a Zach Barklage/Willie Brianerd final. Brainerd turned in a

struggling 7.049 at 156.09 in the final but it was enough to defeat Zach,

whose ’57 Chevy Aeromotive Nitro Coupe just couldn’t make it

happen.

The O’Reilly Super Chevy Show heads to Okie country this weekend

for a Saturday-Sunday blowout at Tulsa Raceway Park and will then head to

South Florida for the season finale with a visit to Moroso Raceway Park.
