Columbus, Sunday: Angelle Sampey, who handles the controls of one of the U.S. Army Suzukis, captured her third win of the year here Sunday in the Pontiac Performance Nationals at National Trail Raceway.

Sampey, who won the first two races of the season, disposed of Matt Smith in the finals with a sizzling 7.046-second jaunt at 188.52 mph.

Following her 40th career victory, the Louisiana native moved back into the point lead over Matt Hines and Brown, respectively.

"With all of the support that we get from our U.S. Army soldiers, it's nice that we can perform like this for them," said Sampey. "What's also really exciting is that we kept the point lead which was the goal coming into the weekend."

With Sampey's three wins and Brown's win in Atlanta last weekend, the U.S. Army team is now perfect in 2006.

"That's unbelievable," she added. "We really have a hard-working, dedicated group of guys. They will stop at nothing to win races. And, of course, we hope that translates into a world championship by the end of the season."
