WARRENSBURG, MO (April 20, 2011) - Despite Mother Nature’s fury, the Crawdad’s Classics Gourmet Hot Sauce ULMA drivers were able to compete in the second sanctioned race of the season last weekend at Lucas Oil Speedway. There were 26 late models on hand, 20 of which were member drivers. Larry Jones became the first member driver to claim a ULMA feature win over a strong field of cars. According to Lucas Oil Speedway, Jones, of El Dorado Springs, Missouri, earned the pole position by virtue of earning the most passing points in his heat race. Despite multiple restarts, Jones never looked back and held off Odessa, Missouri's Steven Clancy for his first-ever ULMA win. Defending track champion, Tommy Cordray of Browning, Missouri finished third followed by Rylan Long and Chris Hawkins. Week two for Lucas Oil Speedway takes place this Saturday night, be sure to visit www.lucasoilspeedway.com for complete details.
