WEST BURLINGTON, IA (April 20)- Sometimes its just best to be in the right place in the right time. A strong field of 44 Corn Belt Clash Series Late Models checked into 34 Raceway tonight, with veterans Terry Phillips and Kevin Weaver made up the front row of the 40-lap main.
Weaver jumped out to an early lead and paced the field, with several early cautions slowing the event. When they returned to green, the trio of Weaver, Phillips and Chris Simpson pulling away from the field.
Simpson pulled past Phillips and using lapped traffic, slipped by Weaver for the point before the midway point in the race. Fifteenth starting Chad Simpson had worked his way into the top-5 by midway, along with the California Kid Tyler Reddick who was making a charge into the top-10 from his 26th starting position. The three-time series champ worked his way into the second position after battling with Jesse Stovall, Brian Shirley and Phillips. Chris Simpson had put a solid straightaway on brother Chad as the laps ran down.
Heartbreak hit the #32 machine as he pulled off with mechanical issues with just over two-laps to go, handing the lead and the win to brother Chad., with the top-five rounded out by Jesse Stovall, Brian Shirley, Tyler Reddick and Terry Phillips. Reddick was the AllStar Performance Hard Charger as he advanced 22 positions during the A. Terry Phillips captured the QuickCar Racing Products Quick Six. Tomorrow the CBC heads to Quincy Raceways in Quincy, Illinois for a $3,000-to-win show co-sanctioned by the MARS and ALMS series.
