Sirizzotti had the top rookie qualifying time earning the outside pole only.003 off the time of Chris Schild. Sirizzotti ran in the top 5 most of the night before a late race solo spin dropped him to the rear of the field. But smart driving allowed Sirizzotti the chance to get past some of the field before the checkers. Sixteen year old Cody Smith also had a good first outing with the series, capturing a ninth place finish for the night. Smith could be a formidable foe this week as the series returns to Thunder Hill Raceway, the track where Smith won both "Rookie of the Year" and series champion titles in the Hobby Stock division in 2005. After the first race only twenty-eight points separate the rookie class. Currently Sirizzotti leads Smith by 3 points, followed by Shane Harris at -16, Robert Walton at -22, Adam Haugh at -25 and Craig Sellman at -28. The 2005 rookie class looks like they are not only going to have the most visible rookie battle in Texas, but also may challenge for a few victories along the way. The next stop for the Texas Super Racing Series is Saturday, April 15 for the "Robert Reyes Memorial 75," presented by Smiley's. TXRacing.com will present the first "Rookie of the Race" award following this race. Pit gates open at 10 AM and racing begins at 5:00 PM.
