THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP FIGURE-8 -- THREE-HOUR ENDURANCE RACE -- 1977-2004

2000-2001

World Figure 8 History

September 9, 2000
A New Winner Bruce Tunny is a World Champion

Bruce Tunny overcame early and late pit stops and finally captured a career-first World Figure 8 Championship in front of a standing room only crowd at the Indianapolis Speedrome.

Tunny, driving the Troy Motors Pontiac, completed 430 laps and led five different times for a total of 189 laps. Tunny regained the lead for good with 34 minutes to go after leader Bobby Douthitt was involved in a collision at the crossover on lap 358.

Tunny, the 1987 and 2000 Late Model champion at the Speedrome won the $10,000 winner’s prize from a $42,000 purse. His winning margin was four laps over two-time runner-up Rodney Sizemore. Richard Fenwick continued to be incredibly consistent and finished third. Louisville, Kentucky Figure 8 veteran Tony Anderson was fourth and had the best finish of any out of towner.

“I still can’t believe I finally won this race,” a relieved Tunny said. “ I couldn’t bear to look at the scoreboard so I just raced to the checkered flag. I didn’t want to look. It’s just hard to believe I won this race.”

Tunny was forced into the pits early in the race to replace a flat tire and late in the race for fuel with both stops during caution periods.

“The flat tire got me going early because I knew I had to fight my way back. I knew I had to race sharper and faster. If you’re not fast, you’re not going to win. This was a three-hour sprint race. This is truly the greatest race in America and I am proud to have won this race.” Tunny said after his 14th World Championship race.

Special awards were earned by Don Eslick, Seattle, Washington, who finished 11th in his first World Championship for the Sonny Eaton Memorial Award, and Billy Allen son of Lubie Allen from Taylor, Michigan who started 37th and finished 19th, for the Sonny Thompson Memorial Award for best start-finish improvement.

Drivers from coast-to-coast included New York’s Roger Maynor, 29th and Joey Biodolillo, 34th, and Florida’s Gordon Brown, 40th.
