ADRIAN, Mo. (May 17) - Springfield, Missouri's Terry Phillips captured the $3,000 win in the O'Reilly MLRA Jack Vaughn Memorial Saturday night at the Adrian Speedway. Phillips won his heat and started on the pole leading all 40 laps, but had to withstand repeated challenges from John Anderson and Denny Woodworth to take the win.
Denny Woodworth got within striking distance once the two got into lap traffic with John Anderson glued right to Woodworth's bumper. Phillips would clear the lap traffic to build a small but not comfortable lead until the first caution flew around lap 24. Phillips took command after the restart with Woodworth and Anderson battling for the second position. Jeremy Payne, starting mid-field in the line up took advantage of a few more cautions late in the race to join the Woodworth Anderson battle. A caution with four laps to go saw Phillips check out on the field for the win, while Anderson took over second from Woodworth. Denny Woodworth held off Payne for the third position, Payne settled for four with Jerry Warner rounding out the top five.
Brantlee Gotschall picked up the $1,000 Midwest Walnut Lucky Stars Award.
