Xenia, Ohio (7/1) - Jamie Sites of Vandalia kicked off the Fourth of July week-end by capturing the Pure Stock "Firecracker 25" at Kil-Kare Speedway Friday night.
  The current points leader started on the pole in his Advanced Roofing/Earl Isaacs Photos sponsored Camaro with Mike Miller alongside in the car normally driven by Bill Burba.
  Sites took the lead only to see the caution come out for debris on the track calling for a complete restart. Once again the green flag was displayed and again Sites jumped out front and again the caution lights came on as Tony Cottrill and previous weeks winner Bret Clark tangled. As if two restarts was not enough to rattle Sites concentration a third caution appeared before the first lap was completed. This time Mike Miller spun on turn three and again the field re-aligned.
  Action finally got underway with Sites building up a good lead while former track champion Jeff Marsh and second generation driver Shawn Stansell were battling for second when again the field was slowed by a spinning car on lap ten. The final caution appeared one lap later when David Coffman spun on turn four.
  From then on it was all Sites as he maintained a good lead on the field. Meanwhile back behind him Stansell did manage to get around Marsh and was slowly gaining on Sites as the laps ran down.
  For Sites it was his best payday of his young career as he pocketed $500 for his win. For Stansell who placed second it was a $400 payday. Ed Lorents slipped around Marsh to claim the $350 third place money while Marsh earned $275 for fourth. Taking fifth and $225 was Mike South Jr.
  Coming up Friday, July 8, will be the rescheduled "Dayton 100" for the Late Models plus the Pure Stocks and Compacts will be in action with the gates opening at 6 p.m. and racing at 8 p.m.
