Overton Over Davenport in Tuesday Night action at East Bay

TAMPA, FL (May 26, 2020) - Brandon Overton finally fought off several tough challengers as he went to Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Victory Lane on Tuesday Night at East Bay Raceway Park. Overton held the lead for the first 12 laps of the 40-lap main event. Jonathan Davenport shot around him on a restart and led for three circuits, but Overton never gave up and recaptured the lead on lap 16 as he went on for his first Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series win of 2020.

Davenport had to fight off repeated challenges from Jimmy Owens to hold on to the second spot at the end. Owens came home third to notch his sixth consecutive top five finish. Shane Clanton stayed in the mix the entire distance taking fourth at the finish. Kyle Bronson earned the Optima Batteries Hard Charger of the Race coming from 18th to finish in fifth.

Overton was the Performance Friction Brakes Pole Award recipient of the main event and took the lead at the start of the race over Owens and Davenport. Overton was cruising along until a caution on lap 12 slowed the action. On the restart Davenport went to the outside lane, passing both Owens and Overton to take over the lead.

Overton came right back three laps later to regain the lead for good, as he had to battle heavy traffic in the closing laps with cars running three-wide in front of him. In the end, he was able to reach the checkers first for his fifth career Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series victory and his second-ever at East Bay.

With the win the 29-year-old Georgia native becomes the fifth different winner in five races of the series' reopening tour. Overton had led the previous two Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series races, but a shorted-out coil wire and a broken flywheel knocked him out of contention for the win both times.

"I was definitely concerned about lapped traffic at the end. That is the problem about leading here, JD rolled me on that restart, but you just don't know where to go. It just all worked out for me near the end and they [traffic] were where I needed to be, and I was just trying to be patient. I tried to get as close to them as I could without hitting them and I just held on. Thanks to crew for working all day on the racecar after it was torn up last night. My car owner David Wells is here. It's always good to get a Lucas Oil win for David and Eric [Wells]."

Davenport, the three-time and reigning series champion moved closer to Tim McCreadie in the championship points race with his second-place run. "I was trying to find every inch on the racetrack, and I think I just overheated my left rear tire after the last caution. That is when the car got really loose. We got lucky when we got the lead, but I went back to the bottom and I left the door open for him [Overton] to get back around me."

Owens maintains third in the championship points with yet another podium finish for the Tennessee racer. "We had a really good race car all night long. On that first take-off, the outside was just a little crumbly and we had to run on the bottom quite a bit. I ran a lot of laps on the bottom and then I decided to go to the top. I also made a bad lane choice on that last restart. Everybody's crew has been working hard and everybody has had their ups and downs, that is just a part of it."

The winner's Wells Motorsports Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Clements Racing Engine and sponsored by Allstar Concrete, Crossfit Overton, Big Dog Stump and Tree, Penske Shocks, Dirt Mafia, Sunoco Race Fuels, Convenient Lube, and EZ Go.

Completing the top ten were Tim McCreadie, Josh Richards, Earl Pearson Jr., Devin Moran, and Tanner English.

Owens leads the Riggs Drilling Solution points heading into the final night at East Bay on Wednesday. He leads davenport by 70 points in the chase for the $5,000 first place prize.

Davenport Charges to Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Win at East Bay

TAMPA, FL (May 25, 2020) - Defending Series champion Jonathan Davenport came from the fifth starting spot to win Monday Night's Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series event at East Bay Raceway Park. Davenport took the lead on lap 31 from fellow Georgian Shane Clanton and then pulled away for his eighth career win at "The Clay by the Bay."

Clanton led 29 laps of the 40 lap event and appeared poised to pick up his first ever win at East Bay, but Davenport slid under him with nine laps to go to grab the top spot. Clanton finished in the runner-up position, with point leader Tim McCreadie coming home in third. Jimmy Owens finished in fourth with Tyler Erb rounding out the top five drivers.

Clanton and Overton had a heated battle for the lead for several laps until Overton slowed on the track after a lap 19 restart that forced Overton from the event. Overton led one lap during the exchange with Clanton as the two fought tooth-and-nail around the 1/3 mile oval.

With Overton out of the race Clanton again showed the way with several drivers nipping at his heels including Owens who moved to second after Overton's exit. Davenport moved to third and then eventually to second around Owens. Davenport then set his sights on Clanton as has the two crossed the stripe to complete lap 31 Davenport slid down low heading into turn one and slid up in front of Clanton to take the lead.

In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the 49th time in his career Davenport, the 3-time and reigning series champion was relieved to be back in the winner's circle for the first time since February. "I didn't really know where to go in the corners of the track tonight. It was so slick in the center I had to wait a long time to take off, because I didn't think running the ring around the cushion was the way to take off. Drivers kept piling up behind me. I was just trying to keep the car in the right position. It's been a struggle the last few weeks."

"We've changed everything on this car except for the driver. I hope everybody that watched at home enjoyed the show. I was just patient at first because the track blew off a lot faster than I thought it would. It was fast through all the heat races, then suddenly when they rolled the top in I don't know whether the tide rolled back out, but it got drier."

Clanton had his best finish of 2020 with his runner-up finish. "I started to lose my right front tire there in the shine. I got so tight getting into the corner I was having to dip the car hard. I was doing all I could, then I caught the lapped cars and they were in my line and I needed to turn under him, and I missed the bottom. JD got a good run on me and then Owens got a good run on me as well. I tried to get under both of them on the last restart."

McCreadie was looking for his third series win of the season and came home third maintaining his point lead heading into Tuesday Night's action at East Bay. "I just made a big mistake going into one. Brandon [Overton] and I were just racing so hard and that is just the way it goes. I slid him going into turn three. When I went in there I locked the rear end up and it started clunking in high gear. I thought I was going to spin out in front of the field, which made me lose 3 or 4 spots."

The winner's Lance Landers Motorsports Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Cornett Racing Engine and sponsored by Nutrien Ag Solutions, Spartan Mowers, Lucas Oil Products, Penske Racing Shocks, Hoosier Tires, VP Fuels, and ASC Warranty.

Completing the top ten were Brian Shirley, Kyle Bronson, Tanner English, Rick Eckert, and Mason Zeigler.

SKINNER WINS CRATE RACIN’ USA TRI-COUNTY THRILLER

FLOMATON, AL – Cruz Skinner of Oxford, AL had his Skinner’s Body Shop Rocket in the right place at the right time to win the Memorial 50 for the Newsome Raceway Parts Crate Racin’ USA Dirt Late Model Series on Saturday night at Tri-County Raceway. Skinner took the lead on lap 49 after the top two drivers in front of him crashed out.

Skinner led only the last two laps to pick up the $3,000 top prize with his fourth career Newsome Raceway Parts Crate Racin’ USA Dirt Late Model Series win. Skinner drove under the checkered flag with 1.215 second margin of victory over the second-place driver Cody Overton of Grovetown, GA in the Midstates Equipment Rocket.

Steven Jernigan of Milton, FL started the JEI Logging CVR 21st and finished third to earn the Knowles Race Parts and Bodies Hard Charger of the Race Award. D.G. Hawkins of Chunchula, AL took the fourth spot in the United States Marine Corps Special and Jody Knowles of Tyrone, GA was fifth in the Clayton Signs/Gentry’s Used Auto Parts Special.

Josh Huss of Flomaton, AL finished sixth in the Griffin Automotive Special and Isaiah Day of Flomaton, AL drove the Truck South Logistics Special to a seventh-place finish. Corey Dunn of Milledgeville, GA took the eighth spot in the Georgia Timber CVR, and Joseph Joiner of Milton, FL finished ninth after leading the first 48 laps in the Hunt The Front Special.

Joiner tangled with his teammate Jesse Enterkin of Milton, FL in the Hunt The Front Special trying to lap him in turn one on lap 49. Joiner cut down a tire and had to pit to change the tire and finish the race. Parker Martin of Milledgeville, GA rounded out the top ten in the Martin Industrial Contractors Special.

In preliminary action, Joiner was the Fast Qualifier with a lap around Tri-County Speedway in 12.678 seconds. The two eight-lap KRC Power Steering B-Mains were won by Monte Skinner of Saraland, AL in the Capital Race Cars Special, and Trynt Lloyd of Jacksonville, FL in the Tom Kelly Construction Special.

Overton finished second, despite making heavy contact with the steel guard rail early in the race and that earned him the VP Racing Lubricants Slick Move of the Race Award. Overton continues to lead the Newsome Raceway Parts Crate Racin’ USA Dirt Late Model Series point standings with 288 points. Overton also leads the Cruise With The Champions Rookie of the Year point standings.

Skinner is second in the Newsome Raceway Parts Crate Racin’ USA points chase with 278 points and 15-year-old Martin is third with 256 points. Martin is also the VP Racing Fuels Young Gun Challenge Series point leader for drivers 18 years of age and younger, and he is second in the Cruise With The Champions Rookie of the Year point standings.

Joiner chose to start the race from the outside of the front row and took the lead when the green flag out to start the race followed by Wil Herrington of Hawkinsville, GA in the Poole Service Center Rocket, Stephen Brantley of Monroeville, AL in the Airport Auto Sales Special, Huss, and Knowles.

The initial start was negated when Ken Cartwright of Greenville, AL spun the Loko Racing CVR in turn two on lap one. The field lined up for a complete restart, and it was Joiner once again taking the lead followed by Herrington, Brantley, Martin, and Skinner. Lloyd brought out the second caution flag on lap three with a spin on the back straightaway.

Joiner lined up in the lead for the Dixie-Style Double-File Restart with Herrington, Brantley, Martin, Skinner, Overton, Huss, Knowles, Bo Slay of Milton, FL in the Slay’s Mobile Home Service Rocket and Skinner doubled up behind him. Skinner got by Martin for the fourth spot, and Huss raced past Martin for fifth on the restart.

Joiner began to encounter the cars on the tail of the lead lap by lap seven, and Herrington was able to stay within a couple of car-lengths of the leader. The lapped traffic went away on lap ten when Bailey Martin of Flomaton, AL spun the Advance Recycling Special in turn one and collected Brantley to bring out the third caution flag. The wreck sent both cars to the pits for the evening.

When the green flag came back out, Joiner led Herrington, and Skinner, while Huss lost several positions with Martin moving up to fourth and Slay drove up to the fifth spot. Joiner reached lapped traffic on lap 14 and once again he was able to maintain a two car-length advantage over Herrington.

T.J. Brittain of Centre, AL stalled the Brittain Hauling Warrior in turn four on lap 20 to bring out the fourth caution flag. Joiner led the field down for the restart with Herrington, Skinner, Martin, Slay, Overton, Huss, Hawkins, Knowles, and Lloyd doubled up behind him in the top ten.

Martin tagged the backstretch guard rail after the restart and fell out of the top ten. When the field got the crossed flags to signal the halfway point in the race, Joiner found himself once again on lapped traffic. Herrington saw an opportunity to challenge for the lead and dove to the inside of Joiner in turn one on lap 26.

The top two drivers raced side-by-side in turn one, but Joiner had the preferred outside line coming off the second turn to stay out front. Before Herrington could reload and take another shot at Joiner, Dunn stalled in turn four to bring out the fifth caution flag. With Joiner out front all by himself, Herrington chose to restart on the inside for the first time.

Skinner used the outside spot on the restart to drive around Herrington in turn one for the second spot. The field was slowed by a caution flag for the sixth time on lap 31 when Cartwright spun in turn two for the second time. The top ten for the double-file restart was Joiner, Skinner, Herrington, Slay, Overton, Hawkins, Huss, Jernigan, Skinner, and Day.

Herrington got back around Skinner for second on the restart and set sail to try and reel in Joiner. Overton continued his march to the front by passing Slay for fourth on the restart. Joiner caught heavy lapped traffic on lap 40, and Herrington closed in to challenge for the lead. Herrington looked to the inside of Joiner on lap 43, but Joiner held off the challenge.

On lap 49, Herrington pulled to the outside of Joiner coming down the front straightaway as the lead duo came up to lap Joiner’s teammate Enterkin. Joiner went to the inside of Enterkin, who got sideways in turn one, collecting Joiner. The teammates slid up the banking and collected Herrington, who made hard contact with the first turn steel.

Herrington and Enterkin were out of the race, and Joiner had to pit with a cut tire. Under the caution flag, Slay, who would have restarted third, lost a wheel on the front straightaway. When the dust settled, Skinner found himself in the lead with Overton, Jernigan, Hawkins, Huss, Day, Knowles, Dunn, Ahnna Parkhurst of Evans, GA in the EZ Go Special and Martin doubled up behind the leader. Skinner pulled away to lead the green, white, checkered finish without challenge.

Overton will carry the Advance Lazer and Machine Point Leader Rear Spoiler to the next series event on June 27 for a $2,500-to-win $250-to-start race at Mountain View Raceway in Spring City, TN.
