Kokomo Speedway and Boyd’s Speedway Up Next

ZEBULON, Ga. (09/19/22) – Shane Clanton earned his sixth victory of the season on Thursday night in the opening night of the 18th annual Lucas Oil Knoxville Late Model Nationals aboard his Skyline Motorsports No. 25 Bennett Explosives/ Super K Express/ Capital Race Cars / Clements Racing Engine Super Late Model.

"I could pass lapped cars in the bottom when I had to, so I knew my car is pretty good. ... the air means so much here," Clanton said in regards to the Thursday night victory. "The rest of the weekend didn’t go as well as we had hoped, but a seventh-place finish in the finale on Sunday wasn’t so bad. Now we’re geared up for a busy week in Indiana and Georgia with a lot of big money on the line."

Back in action on Tuesday, Shane Clanton ventured to Fairbury Speedway (Fairbury, Ill.) for the sixth round of the Castrol FloRacing Night in America miniseries.

Drawing 42 cars for the third annual One for the Road, Clanton laid down the eighth-fastest time in his group before placing third in his heat. Starting the $22,022-to-win A-Main in 12th, Shane dropped one spot in the 50-lapper to finish 13th.

Joining the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series (LOLMDS) on Thursday, Shane invaded Knoxville Raceway (Knoxville, Iowa) to pilot his Olson Explosives No. 25 Late Model for the opener of the 18th annual Knoxville Nationals.

Charging from third-to-first in his heat race, Clanton locked into the pole for the preliminary feature. Leading flag-to-flag in the 25-lap affair, Shane cruised to his sixth win of the season and sixth-career LOLMDS triumph. He collected a $7,000 paycheck ahead of Earl Pearson Jr., Jonathan Davenport, Brandon Sheppard, and Kyle Strickler.

For Friday’s preliminary night, Clanton scratched from his B-Main after missing a transfer spot by one car in his heat race.

Earning the seventh-starting position for Sunday’s rain-delayed $50,000-to-win Knoxville Nationals finale via passing points from prelims, Shane recorded a seventh-place finish in the 50-lap affair.

Full results from the weekend are available at www.FloSeries.com and www.LucasDirt.com .

Jackson 100 on Deck for this Friday and Saturday

SHINNSTON, W.Va. (09/19/22) – Brandon Sheppard piloted the Rocket1 Racing / Valvoline / Seubert Calf Ranches No. 1 Ace Metal Works / XR1 Rocket Chassis / Durham Racing Engine Super Late Model to a podium finish in Sunday’s finale of the 18th annual Lucas Oil Late Model Knoxville Nationals.

With the finish, Sheppard also made up ground in his pursuit of the 2022 Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series (LOLMDS) championship.

“It feels good to run well in this race. I have had a lot of good runs here, so I expected to run good to a certain extent. We had a good car there. Man, I wish it was more laps now because I think we were getting better there at the end,” Sheppard said. “It was unfortunate for Timmy [McCreadie] to get knocked out of the feature, but we all have bad luck sometimes, that’s part of the game. He still has a pretty good lead on us, so we still have alot of work to do, but this team is in dig mode, and we’re looking forward to Brownstown (Speedway).”

Rocket1 Racing and Brandon Sheppard opened his slate of racing with a visit to Fairbury (Ill.) Speedway on Tuesday afternoon for the Castrol FloRacing Night in America event as the miniseries returned to action following the summer break.

With a talent-laden field of 42 Late Models entered for the third annual One for the Road, Brandon’s third-place finish in his heat race positioned him on the fifth row for the $22,022-to-win A-Main. After shuffling a few spots early, Sheppard raced to a ninth-place in the 50-lap affair.

Returning with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series (LOLMDS) on Wednesday, Sheppard entered his Rocket1 Racing No. 1 Late Model into battle at Knoxville Raceway (Knoxville, Iowa) for the 18th annual Knoxville Nationals weekend.

Earning the 10th-starting position for the preliminary feature via a third-place performance in his heat race, Brandon gained six spots in the 25-lapper to register a fourth-place finish. He followed Shane Clanton, Earl Pearson Jr., and Jonathan Davenport to the checkers with Kyle Strickler coming in fifth.

For another $7,000-to-win prelim on Friday, Sheppard had to race his way into the A-Main through his B-Main after finishing fifth in his heat. Following a runner-up performance in his consolation race, Brandon jumped up six spots in the feature to cross the line in 14th.

With passing points for prelims aligning Brandon on the sixth row for Sunday’s rain-delayed $50,000-to-win Knoxville Nationals finale, Sheppard advanced forward eight spots in the 50-lapper to place third. He trailed Jonathan Davenport and Tyler Bruening to the checkers with Ricky Thornton Jr. and Earl Pearson completing the Top-5 finishers.

Brandon continues to second in the latest LOLMDS point standings but nearly cut 100 points off Tim McCreadie’s lead with Sunday’s performance.

50th Annual Louisiana State Championship Up Next

The victory was the seventh of the year for Dillard.

“We had a really good car tonight,” Dillard said in Victory Lane at the Johnny Stokes oval. “We learned a lot of things last night. We weren’t the best and figured out what we didn’t need to do, but we changed a lot of stuff today and I felt like we hit on something. I probably stepped it up with about 10 or so to go just to make sure I left myself with a gap. I just want to thank everybody, who believes in me and makes this all possible.”

Cade Dillard was back behind the wheel of his S&S Fishing & Rental No. 97 Super Late Model on Friday evening for the opening round of the two-day Cotton Pickin’ 100 at Magnolia Motor Speedway (Columbus, Miss.).

On Saturday, Cade followed up the second-fastest lap in his time trial group with a heat race triumph. Tracking down early pacesetter Billy Moyer Jr. on lap 26 to assume command of the lead, Dillard wired the field in the remainder of the 60-lapper to capture his seventh win of the season and a $12,000 paycheck. He finished ahead of Wil Herrington, Moyer Jr., Kyle Beard, and Josh Putnam.

Full results from the weekend are available at www.MagnoliaDirt.com .

The upcoming weekend – September 23-24 – has Dillard set for a home state showdown at Boothill Speedway (Greenwood, La.). The COMP Cams Super Dirt Series (CCSDS) sanctioned, 50th annual Louisiana State Championship features $6,000-to-win programs on both Friday and Saturday.

He added a sixth-place finish in Saturday night’s $12,000-to-win finale.

"It just goes to show how good this car is," Winger said. "The racetrack was pretty opposite on both ends. It was pretty rough and treacherous down (in turns one and two),” Winger said in Victory Lane on Friday night. “If you could get through there pretty good, you could carry good speed off of two and launch you down into three.

“I again want to thank everyone with Big Frog Motorsports for this great opportunity. They give me everything I need to be successful, and I’m extremely grateful for it.”

Ashton Winger was back behind the wheel of the Big Frog Motorsports No. 58 Late Model on Thursday evening at Magnolia Motor Speedway (Columbus, Miss.) for the rescheduled COMP Cams Super Dirt Series (CCSDS) event to kick off the Cotton Pickin’ 100 weekend.

On Friday, Ashton topped his group in qualifying before streaking to a heat race victory. Wrestling away the lead from Neil Baggett on lap 25 of the feature, Winger soared to his fifth win of the 2022 campaign and second in the Big Frog Motorsports entry.

He collected $4,000 ahead of Neil Baggett, Brian Rickman, Payton Freeman, and Mason Oberkramer.

For Saturday’s finale, Winger secured his spot into the $12,000-to-win Cotton Pickin’ 100 with an eight-lap heat win. Coming one position shy of a Top-5 finish, Ashton recorded a sixth-place outing in the 60-lap affair.

Full results from the weekend are available at www.MagnoliaDirt.com .

Winger and the team now turn their attention to this Saturday’s Michael Head Jr. Memorial at Senoia (Ga.) Raceway. The $5,054-to-win program is sanctioned by the XR Southern All Star (SAS) Dirt Racing Series Late Models.

The victory was his 11th of the season.

"I'd rather be lucky than good any day. Dale (McDowell) was fast, I get so tight here the longer we run, and Dale is really good about steering," Hedgecock said. "Just tickled to death, glad it all worked out. Saw he was having a flat going down on the left-rear with that restart and thought if we could just keep riding around here, I might be able to get this thing.”

Cory Hedgecock was back behind the wheel of his Eagle Racing Engines No. 23 Late Model on Wednesday evening at Volunteer Speedway (Bulls Gap, Tenn.) for the Valvoline Iron-Man Southern Series-sanctioned Scorcher.

Drawing 33 cars for the mid-week event, Cory topped his 16-car group in time trials before placing first in his heat.

Rolling off on the pole for the feature, Hedgecock paced the field for opening 18 circuits before a charging Dale McDowell overtook the lead. Regaining the top spot from McDowell on lap 46 after the leader went down with a flat tire, Cory went onto capture his 11th win of the season and eighth career Iron-Man Series triumph.

He collected a $12,000 payday ahead of Michael Chilton, Scott Bloomquist, Cla Knight, and McDowell.

Full results from the event are available at www.imdirt.net .

Batesville, Arkansas (09/19/22) – Billy Moyer Jr. only led the final 100-or-so feet of Thursday night’s COMP Cams Super Dirt Series (CCSDS) Super Late Model event at Magnolia Motor Speedway, but that was all that it took for him to secure the $3,000 victory aboard his Nutrien Ag Solutions No. 21 Dyna-Gro Seed / Mesilla Valley Transportation / Phillips CPA / Titan Motorsports / Pontiac RV / Longhorn Race Car / Clements Racing Engines Super Late Model.

Moyer Jr. took advantage of leader, Evan Ellis’ scrape with the turn four wall to pick up his third win of the year.

“Man that was a tough deal for Evan (Ellis). I’ve been there and I know how much it stings to give one away coming to the checkered flag. However, we were in the right place to take advantage of his bad luck, and we got the win,” Moyer Jr. said. “From there we had a pretty solid weekend at The Mag (Magnolia Motor Speedway) with a sixth on Friday and a third in the finale on Saturday after leading the first half of the race.

“We’re currently evaluating our racing options for the upcoming weekend, and we’ll probably make a decision by Wednesday.”

Taking part in the rescheduled COMP Cams Super Dirt Series (CCSDS) event from early September, Billy Moyer Jr. visited Magnolia Motor Speedway (Columbus, Miss.) on Thursday evening for the Labor Day Classic.

With 37 Late Models entered, Moyer Jr. laid down the second-fastest time in his group before winning his heat race. After slipping past late pacesetter Evan Ellis on the final circuit of the feature, Billy beat Chad Thrash to the line by a 0.218-second margin to secure his third win of the season and 19th-career CCSDS victory.

He earned $3,000 ahead of Thrash, Ellis, Joseph Joiner, and B.J. Robinson.

For Friday’s $4,000-to-win program, Billy’s second-place finish in his heat positioned him sixth on the starting grid for the A-Main. Regaining his starting spot with a last-lap pass, Moyer Jr. recorded a sixth-place finish in the 40-lapper.

On Saturday, Moyer Jr. locked his spot into the $12,000-to-win Cotton Pickin’ 100 with a heat race triumph. After setting the pace for the opening 25 circuits, Billy went onto place third in the 60-lap affair, which came behind Cade Dillard and Wil Herrington.

Full results from the weekend are available at www.MagnoliaDirt.com .
