A-Z Billboard Night at the Races I-35 Speedway
WINSTON, MO (May 2, 2015) – With a smooth track, a good field of competitors, and a great crowd in attendance the E-Mods were the first to take to the three-eighths mile of dirt at I-35 Speedway. When the checkers were shown and post-race inspection was completed #02xa of Jeremiah Asher was crowned the victor. Asher would lead early and often with heat race winner John Brown #36j nipping at his heels to the finish, with Brown placing second. Allie Mulich #90 would again show poise and patience by racing through the pack posting a solid third place finish. Jacob Blair #81 continues to impress all, in his rookie season, holding off the hard charge of Manlee Lamar #4m to place fourth and fifth respectively. Other heat race winners were Robert Fisk #31b and Randy Smith #26j.
Grand Nationals would not see a caution flag during their feature event as heat race winner Austin Johnson #98 would lead every lap on his way to McCarthy Auto-Group’s winner circle. Austin was challenged by younger brother Houston Johnson #97, who would place second, and Buz Kaster #54 who would fade late to place third. Donnie Brown and Dale Eaton would duke it out to the bitter end with Brown #26 gaining the advantage to place fourth and Eaton #3 settling for fifth.
The familiar face of Greg Gilbert #23g would again emerge victorious in the Hobby Stock division picking up win number three on the 2015 racing season at I-35 Speedway. Mich Ross #34 would again charge through the pack by posting a second place finish with heat race winner Jon Boller Jr #47xb a close third. Carson Masoner #13x and Justin Atkins #15 would race side by side to the checkers with Masoner fourth and Atkins fifth.
In a race to be remembered the USRA B-Mods would not disappoint with side by side racing throughout the entire field for the duration of the feature. Tim Eaton #211 would race from a twelfth starting position passing all competitors to stand tall in victory lane. Eaton and second place finisher Shadren Turner #17t would race wheel to wheel passing third place finisher and one time leader Donnie Miller #86 and take the checkers with mere inches separating the cars. Two veterans of the B-Mod class David Bouzek #75 and Chris Wright #20x would mount a late race charge and finish fourth and fifth with Bouzek edging Wright at the line. Heat race winners were Ramon Ortega #17r and Dustin Miller #52m.
Not to be outdone by the B-Mod feature the USRA Stock Car class continues to race caution free. With exciting two wide racing, Dean Wray would take the early lead by using the high line to set the blistering pace. Wray would slip high on the exit of turn four allowing Jason Estes #99.7 to fly by and capture win number one of the 2015 racing season. Heat race winner Estes would have to hold off the always fast #88 of Jeff Dixon who placed second. Early leader Wray #77 would slip to third with Thomas Roberts #65x fourth. Jon Boller Jr #20x would be in the mix for the lead the whole race only to be forced to finish fifth.
Fire breathing, high flying, alcohol drinking, USRA Modifieds were the last to take to the track on A-Z Billboard night at the races at I-35 Speedway and would not disappoint. Heat race winner Dennis Elliot would start outside row one with other heat race winner Darren Shaw starting on the inside. When the green flag was dropped, Elliott and Shaw would race side by side for fourteen laps with neither gaining a clear advantage while never touching the other driver. A late race caution would be the deciding factor as Dennis Elliott #29 would see the checkers first, notching win number two this season. Shaw #11 would challenge every turn of every lap but could not find a way around Elliott and be forced to finish second. Steven Glenn #26s would again prove consistency racing his way to place third. Newcomer to the track this 2015 racing season Nick Shenberger #22 would show he is among the front runners racing through the pack and notching a solid fourth place finish. Current point leader Ryan Schaffer #R21 would round out the top five.
I-35 Speedway would like to thank our great driver and fans alike for yet another stellar night of racing action. We invite everyone back next week on Larry McFee Trucking Night at the Races for more “Dirt Tracking at its Best”.
See You There!
