6 Six days until the 60th running of the Payless Little 500. 6 years ago in 2002 Dave Steele won the pole position with a four lap time of 45.526 seconds. Jay Drake and Jeff Bloom filled out the front row. Eric Gordon took over the lead on lap 168 and led the remaining 333 laps to score his 2nd straight Little 500 win and 4th overall. So dominant in this race was Gordon that only 2nd place Jonathan Vennard (497 laps) was within ten laps of him at the finish! Chet Fillip (489 laps) was 3rd with a pair of Tonys rounding out the top five. Tony Hunt and Tony Elliott both completed 488 laps to score 4th & 5th respectively.
