Outlaw Lighting Sprint Invade I-70 Dirt Track

ODESSA, MO (May12) The Midwest Outlaw Lighting Sprint made their first appearance of the season at the new Dirt Track at I-70 Speedway. “You guys really have a great track”, was the comment from eventual Feature Winner, Phil Heavelow. “We have been out a couple of times on practice nights and the track was OK but you guys have really got this new track in great shape”, concluded Heavelow. Bob Douglas, MOLS Director added, “the track was great, it is a perfect track for the Lighting Sprints, we can’t wait for two day show here in a couple of weeks”.

The 20 Lap feature for the Midwest Outlaw Lighting Sprints went caution free with veteran open wheel driver Phil Heavelow, #44, winning from his second row starting position. Following Heavelow across the finish line was #46, Dusty Murray, #11, Duane Marusarz, #19, Lenny “Doc” Heffernon, and #18, John Eaton. #4, Beau Heavelow, #25 Don Graves and #9S, Chris Schofield were unable to make the call for the feature.
