Dan Robinson WHEATLAND, Mo. (April 9) - As unseasonably warm temperatures greeted race fans making their way to the Lucas Oil Speedway for the first time in 2011, the action on the track was even hotter as Mount Vernon, Iowa's Chad Simpson topped a huge 55 car Lucas Oil MLRA field enroute to his second career MLRA win. In the Pitt's Homes A-Modifieds, Mark Dotson drove his bright blue #85d GRT by Phillips Chassis to a convincing win over former Lucas Oil Speedway Track Champion Jamie Ragland.
With Simpson holding the field at bay working lap traffic, Galena, Missouri's Jesse Stovall made his way up to the second spot at the finish in his Steve Rushin owned Larry Shaw Race Car. Lebanon, Missouri's Brandon McCormick led the way for the GRT's coming across the AAA Start/Finish line in the third spot at the finish followed by Team Custard, Jeremy Payne and Terry Phillips in fourth and fifth respectively. Greenbrier, Arkansas' Jack Sullivan wheeled his GRT House Car to a sixth place showing as 6-time MLRA Champion Alan Vaughn took the seventh spot in the final rundown. Al Purkey out of Coffeyville, KS, Kyle Berck from Marquette, NE, and R.C. Whitwell all the way from Tucson, AZ rounded out the Top-10.
In the first Rockstar Energy Drink Weekly Championship Series race of 2011 for the Pitt's Homes A-Modifieds, Cameron, Missouri's Mark Dotson held off a hard charging Jamie Ragland out of Lebanon, Missouri to take home top honors in the Impact Signs, Awnings, and Wraps A-Feature. Cody Agler, Justin Folk out of Iola, Kansas and Macks Creek, Missouri's Shawn Nations all scored top-5 finishes coming across the stripe in 3rd-5th respectively.
