King placed second in his heat race to qualify for the 25-lap main. He jumped into the lead at the start of the main, and led seven of the first 12 laps among a nine-rider lead pack. King was in second place when he dropped back in the pack as his engine started to fade on lap 21. After that, he left the track.

King won both AMA Grand National races at the Springfield Mile in 2003, and also won the first 2004 race there on Memorial Day weekend.

�The Screamin� Eagle team has a good bike set-up and a great rider for Springfield, and we were in the hunt until racing luck caught up with us this time,� said Harley-Davidson Racing Manager Anne Paluso. �We really appreciate all of the support Harley-Davidson fans in Springfield offered us this season.�

Carr won the Springfield race with a last-lap drafting pass of KTM USA/Jones Powersports/Mid-America Harley-Davidson rider Ken Coolbeth. Coziahr Harley-Davidson/National Cycle rider Johnny Murphree followed Carr past Coolbeth to take second as Coolbeth crossed the line in third.

Carr�s win on the mile and a second-place finish in the short-track at Springfield on Saturday boosted his points lead as the AMA Progressive Insurance Flat Track Championship heads into its final events. With three races left on the schedule, Carr has 255 points and a 40-point lead over KTM USA/Jones Powersports/Mid-America Harley-Davidson rider Joe Kopp, now second with 215 points. Coolbeth is third with 189 points, just ahead of Murphree with 183 points.

On Saturday, King placed sixth and third in heat races and failed to qualify for the AMA Grand National short-track event at Springfield. That race was won by Glen Schnabel on a Yamaha.

The next stop on the AMA Progressive Insurance Flat Track Championship series is Sept. 19 at Scioto Downs in Columbus, Ohio.
