Jason Jameson and Ryan Thomas Split Iron-Man Victories in Florence Speedway Visit

By Michael Despain

UNION, KENTUCKY – June 23, 2018 – The Schaeffer’s Oil Iron-Man Championship Late Model Series presented by DirtonDirt.com and Brucebilt Performance Iron-Man Modified Series would make their first-ever appearance at Florence Speedway in Union, KY and Jason Jameson of Lawrenceburg, IN would turn in a dominating performance to take the victory and $5,000 payday for the Schaeffer’s Oil Iron-Man Championship Late Model Series presented by DirtonDirt.com. In the Brucebilt Performance Iron-Man Modified Series, it would be Ryan Thomas of Brownstown, IN scoring the victory and claiming a $1,500 payday.

The Super Late Model victory for Jameson would come aboard the James Rattliff owned MGL Auto Sales, On-Time Courier, Hatcher Auto Sales, JRR Motor Sales, Wave Length Hair Salon, Budda Bert Transmissions, B&B Motorsports, Wayne Bowen Racing Supply sponsored #12 Swartz Race Car with a Pro Power Race Engine. For Thomas in the Open Wheel Modifieds, his win would come behind the wheel of the Main Trailer Sales, Cooper Concrete, AMK Excavating, Brad Barron Heating and Air sponsored #t9 Diamond Race Car sporting a Johnny Allen Race Engine.

The start of the Super Late Model portion of the event would see the caution wave on the opening lap when Bill Sheets slowed in turn one and would be done for the night. The second attempt to get the action going would see Jackie Boggs grab the lead over Devin Gilpin, Jason Jameson, Kent Robinson and Scott James. However, caution would fly again on lap three when Nick Latham would stop in turn three and the restart would also come back when Josh Rice slowed on the frontchute. The restart would see Gilpin pressure Boggs for the lead, with Gilpin taking the top spot lap three, while James and Casebolt would trade the fifth position for a pair of circuits before James reclaimed the spot. Jameson would flex his muscle on the highside at this point and would motor past Gilpin for the lead on lap six. Boggs would take second from Gilpin one tour later, with James working past Robinson for fourth on the same circuit. Casebolt would scoot past Robinson on lap nine for the fifth position and work by James for fourth and take third from Gilpin at the same time on lap ten. With Jameson building a comfortable lead at this point, Casebolt would continue his charge from his eighth starting position and would slide into the runner-up slot on lap twelve. As Jameson worked toward the rear of the field, Casebolt would begin to close the gap between himself and Jameson and would close in on Jameson and the leader began working traffic on lap seventeen, with Robinson claiming the fourth position from James on the same lap, only to see James retake the position one lap later. Casebolt would deliver a slidejob on Jameson in turn one and momentarily take the lead entering turn three, only to have Jameson return serve and fire a slider of his own off of turn four to maintain the lead on lap nineteen. Casebolt would jump the cushion in turn three two circuits later, allowing Jameson some breathing room and it would be at this point that Jameson would turn the wick up on his effort and begin to motor away from the field at a torrid pace. Casebolt’s night would end on lap twenty-seven when he would pull his machine to the infield with the race staying green. The final twenty laps would see Jameson deliver a dominant exhibition, with Jameson lapping sixth place running Eddie Carrier, Jr. on lap forty-one and putting fifth place Eric Wells a lap down on lap forty-five, leaving only second, third, and fourth positions on the lead lap, with Jameson nipping past Robinson on final lap, leaving second and third on the lead lap. Jameson would take the checkered flag first nearly a full lap ahead of Boggs, who would be trailed by Gilpin, Robinson, and Wells. The remainder of the top ten at the finish would be Carrier, Jr., Connor Meade, Trevor Landrum, David Webb, and Dustin Nobbe.

Joey Kramer would lead the opening ten circuits on the Open Wheel Modified contest, only to see his night end with right-front suspension issues on lap eleven, handing the lead over Clayton Miller at this point. Miller, Ryan Thomas, and Shon Flanary would battle three-wide for the lead over the next three laps, until Thomas would grab the race lead on lap sixteen. Thomas would survive six caution flags and repeated challenges from Flanary the remainder of the event to score the victory, with Flanary settling for second and Jerry Bowersock claiming third. Kyle Schoernick and Matt Hamilton would complete the top five, while the remainder of the top ten finishers would be Billy Vaughn, John Holt, Jr., J.T. Ayers, Austin Francis, and Brayden Berry.
