Johnny Pursley Claims First-Career Ultimate Super Late Model Series Win

by Ben Shelton
CLOVER, South Carolina (August 18) – On Saturday evening Johnny Pursley enjoyed a career outing by piloting his Pursley Grading #09 Barry Wright Super Late Model to his first-ever win with the Ultimate Late Model Series.

On Saturday night Johnny Pursley made the trip to Travelers Rest Speedway (Travelers Rest, South Carolina) for the Whitey Whitesides Memorial, paying $4,000 to the winner. Drawing a crowd of 18 cars for the Ultimate Super Late Model Series event, Johnny earned the pole position for the main event. Outdueling Casey Roberts and Dennis Franklin in the feature, Pursley grabbed the lead for good on lap 19 and never looked back. Cruising to his first career Ultimate win, Johnny Pursley scored his 3rd win of the season with Dennis Franklin, Casey Roberts, Kenny Collins, and Josh Langley rounding out the top five.

"We really needed this win. We didn’t win a Super (Late Model) race last year and we have been working hard to finally get one. Our new Barry Wright car has been good everywhere we have raced but we haven’t had things fall our way. Tonight it finally did. That was a lot of fun to race with Rambo (Franklin) and Casey like that. Those guys aren’t going to give you anything but they are going to race you clean. Thanks to everyone who helps us get to the track every week, we couldn’t do it without their help,” Pursley said after his first career Ultimate win.

Full results from the event are available at www.UltimateSupers.com .

This Friday, August 21st will take Johnny to Carolina Speedway (Gastonia, North Carolina), where he will pilot the Robbie Jordan-owned #47 Mastersbilt in the Limited Late Model division.

Johnny Pursley would like to thank all of his sponsors, which include Twin Oaks Racing, Eagle Manufacturing Pursley Grading, White Horse Limited, JP Environmental, Money Saver Heating & Air, FK Rod Ends, Hoosier Racing Tires, Phil’s Starters, Farmer’s Service Center, and MSRMafia.com Marketing Services.
