Saturday, September 13, 2003 Fultz sweeps Kodak Southeast Series races at Kentucky Motor Speedway
 by Race AuthorWHITESVILLE, Ky. -- Jeff Fultz took his C & C Boiler/Cleaver Brooks Chevrolet around Jason Hogan's Universal Chevrolet with 9 laps remaining in The NASCAR Elite Division Kodak Southeast Series Kentucky 150 Saturday evening at Kentucky Motor Speedway to sweep both series events at the 3/8-mile track in 2003.
Fultz's victory, the 16th of his series career, is his fifth stop in victory lane with the series this year.
Fultz started ninth in the field, continued to work his way towards the front, finally taking the point. The race was extended three laps due to a final race caution when A.J. Frank's car was tagged from behind causing his car to spin to bring out the eighth caution of the evening.
Keith Gardner, Louisville, Ky., earned his first NASCAR career Bud Pole Award with a fast lap of 15.632 seconds (86.361 mph) to break the existing mark set by Randy Gentry in June.
Nine different drivers have earned Bud Poles in the nine races thus far in 2003.
Finishing behind the winner was Hogan, series points leader Charlie Bradberry, Victory Circle Chassis Rookie-of-the-year contender Terry Mason Jr., and Dusty Williams with the first top five finish on the series.
Fultz broke his own race record with a speed of 60.902 mph.
