DAVID COOKE WINS CLOSELY CONTESTED OPENING ROUND AT PHOENIX!

David Brown put his mean green machine on the pole and led the first part of the race. About mid race, the closely batteling leaders saw a slight touch between Brown and Breuning, sending the latter into the wall. A quick repair saved him from going a lap down and with more cautions, the bunching up of the field help him catch back up. Leader Smithem did everything he could to keep defending champ Cooke behind him, but a brush with the turn 2 wall allowed Cooke t grab the lead, while Breuning passed Brown for 2nd. Breuning was side by side with Cook as the white flag fell, but fell 0.041 short. Brown was 3rd only 0.097 behind the leader, so surely a very closely contested finish!
