Pevely, MO (September 13, 2008) A huge field of 136 racecars turned out for I-55 Raceway's 26th Annual Pepsi Nationals despite all the local weather forecasts calling for rain and thunderstorms throughout the day and night.
With rain from the remnants of Hurricane Ike closing in, the surging Clanton outdueled Chub Frank and Josh Richards in a stirring late-race battle to capture Saturday nightÂ’s 26th annual Pepsi Nationals at I-55 Raceway.

Clanton, 33, of Locust Grove, Ga., beat the impending weather to make the 50-lap A-Main his second straight victory on the World of Outlaws Late Model Series. It was his third win in the last five tour events and came one week after he scored the biggest triumph of his career in the UMP DIRTcar Racing-sanctioned World 100 at Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio.

“I’m pretty excited right now,” said Clanton, who earned $10,150 for his fourth WoO LMS win of 2008. “I was dreading coming out here because we all thought it was going to rain out and I’ve always called this state ‘Misery,’ not ‘Missouri,’ because I’ve just always had so much trouble when I race here.

“But when your car’s working good, your luck’s good and your team is gelling, then you tend to have things kind of work out better. We’re in that zone right now.”

Clanton steered his RSD Enterprises Rocket car forward from the seventh starting spot, grabbing the lead on lap 30 when he took advantage of a slight slip by race-long pacesetter Chub Frank of Bear Lake, Pa. He held off the challenges of Frank and Shinnston, W.Va.Â’s Richards over the remaining distance to register his 10th career WoO LMS victory.

Frank, who started from the pole position, settled for a second-place finish in his Lester Buildings Rocket, several car lengths behind Clanton after he lost ground during the final circuits while engaged in a tight tussle for position with Richards. It was the best WoO LMS run for the 46-year-old Frank since he was a runner-up on July 20 at the Belleville (Kan.) High Banks.

Richards, 20, finished third in his father MarkÂ’s Seubert Calf Ranches Rocket. Jason Feger of Bloomington, Ill., advanced from the 10th starting spot to secure a career-best WoO LMS finish of fourth in his Bob Pierce-built car, and Shannon Babb of Moweaqua, Ill., quietly completed the top five in NASCAR Sprint Cup star Clint BowyerÂ’s Traeger Grills/Chevy Rocket.

Clanton positioned himself for his winning move when he passed defending WoO LMS champion Steve Francis of Ashland, Ky., for second on a lap-16 restart. He chased Frank until exploding into the lead on lap 30.

“He was hitting his marks until he pushed off turn four and slowed just a little bit,” Clanton said of Frank. “When he pushed, I just turned left (entering turn one) and went right by him.

“That was the opening I needed. I don’t know if I could have passed him or not without it.”

Clanton tried to drive conservatively when he approached lapped traffic late in the race, which was slowed by six cautions flags but none over the final 24 circuits. He got a wakeup call, however, when Frank and Richards went three-wide with him for the lead on lap 42.

“I saw Josh underneath me and I said, ‘Holy cow! I’ve got to get going!’” described Clanton, whose previous WoO LMS finishes at the one-third-mile I-55 Raceway were eighth (2007) and 15th (2005). “I was stopping getting into the corners, trying to be careful, so after I saw (Richards) I picked up the pace a little bit.”

After putting some space on his pursuers, Clanton was met in Victory Lane by his wife Jennifer and son Ryan, 5, who shared a WoO LMS win with his father for the first time this season.

Frank, meanwhile, was in good spirits despite remaining winless on the WoO LMS since his lone victory on 2008, on May 18 at Lincoln (Ill.) Speedway.

“It feels good to be competitive again,” said Frank, who was the tour’s winningest driver in 2007 with six A-Main triumphs. “It was a lot of fun racing for the lead with Shane and Josh.

“I think Shane knows that we probably would have won if I didn’t make that one mistake. He told me, ‘If you didn’t jump that cushion and give me an opening, I wouldn’t have passed you.’

“There was just a real fine line out there,” he added, describing the top groove that ran close to the outside guardrail. “I missed it one lap and had to almost stop to stay off the wall.”

Richards also lost a struggle with the cushion. He was racing side-by-side with Frank for second on lap 46 when he slipped over the trackÂ’s outside lip rounding turn four, causing him to drop to fourth before he could get back up to speed.

“I thought we had a shot at the win,” said Richards, who started sixth. “I tried to run into (turns) three and four as hard as I could so I could carry a lot of momentum down the straightaway and then try to slide under Clanton in (turns) one and two, but I got stuck on the cushion (in turn four). I had to about stop the car so I wouldn’t hit the wall.”

Richards regained third from Feger with three laps remaining, but he didnÂ’t have enough time to make another bid for his fifth WoO LMS win of 2008.

“I’m just glad we were able to get out of our little slump,” said Richards, who had gone without a top-five finish in the tour’s three Pennsylvania events over Labor Day weekend.

Feger, 30, was the eventÂ’s Cinderella story, racing toe-to-toe with the WoO LMS regulars from start-to-finish in his distinctive No. 25. Coming off a victory in a UMP DIRTcar Racing-sanctioned feature the previous night at Paducah (Ky.) International Raceway, he blasted from 10th to fifth on the raceÂ’s opening lap and advanced two more positions on a lap-two restart.

But Feger couldnÂ’t find the right line to climb higher.

“I was way too tight to run the bottom and I couldn’t run the top consistently enough,” said Feger, who earned the $500 ‘Bonus Bucks’ cash for being the highest-finishing driver who hadn’t won a WoO LMS A-Main since 2004 and wasn’t ranked among the top 12 of the 2008 points standings. “But it felt awesome to be up there racing with these guys.”

Babb, 34, couldnÂ’t duplicate his dramatic run to a second-place finish in last yearÂ’s WoO LMS event at I-55 Raceway. He started fourth and basically settled into position at the back end of the top five for the entire distance.

“Everybody was pretty much married to the top (groove), so I tried running the bottom,” said Babb. “I was hoping the top would slow down, but it really never did.”

Finishing in positions 6-10 were UMP DIRTcar Summer Nationals champion Dennis Erb Jr. of Carpentersville, Ill.; Rick Eckert of York, Pa.; Tim Fuller of Watertown, N.Y., who started from the outside pole and got shuffled back from second on an early restart; Brian Shirley of Chatham, Ill.; and Francis, who ran second for laps 3-16 before fading with a car he called “miserable.”

FrancisÂ’s frustrating performance cost him a chance to make up some ground on WoOLMS points leader Darrell Lanigan of Union, Ky., who struggled to an 11th-place finish. Lanigan holds a commanding 126-point edge over Francis with only four tour events remaining on the 2008 schedule.

Veteran NASCAR driver Ken Schrader, who owns I-55 Raceway, drove his No. 9 dirt Late Model in the event. He finished 15th in the A-Main after rallying from a spin between turns one and two on a lap-16 restart.

Thirty-nine cars were signed in for the eveningÂ’s action, which was run under a constant threat of rain. Forecasts called for a 100-percent chance of precipitation developing on Saturday night, but the rain stayed north of the track and the remnants of Hurricane Ike did not begin reaching the area until after midnight.

Despite the dire weather forecast, a solid crowd turned out for the event.

Babb was fastest in time trials, blazing around the high-banked oval in 12.464 seconds. It was his third fast-time honor of the 2008 WoO LMS season.

Heat winners were Erb, Richards, Francis and Clanton. The B-Mains were captured by Ed Dixon of Washington, Mo., and Jeff Johns of Belleville, Ill.
————————————————————————

Fifty-one U.M.P. DIRTcar Modifieds filled the pit area to compete for the Pepsi Nationals crown. Matt Mevert of Steeleville, IL claimed an excitiving victory. Mark Miner and Brian Worley started on the front row and paced the field to the green flag in the twenty-five lap main event. However, it was Bobby Bittle who led the first lap as he took the lead down the back stretch on the opening lap from his second row starting spot. Bittle would pace the field for the first seven laps before Tim Hancock took over. Hancock looked strong but it wasn't long before Mevert found a fast line around the 1/3 mile oval and worked his way past Hancock for the lead. Mevert, Hancock and Bittle would race two and three wide throughout the middle part of the race as they battled for the lead. Bittle would jump the cushion late in the race and get into the outside wall, causing his right front tire to go flat and eliminated him from the event. U.M.P. DIRTcar Modified National point leader Jeff Leka joined the battle for the lead as well in the closing laps. However, Mevert proved too strong at the end and took the victory. Leka would get second just ahead of Hancock. Miner would fight back for a fourth place finish with Jerry Grither rounding out the top five.

Brad Paquet won his first ever U.M.P. DIRTcar Sportsman main event as he topped a field of forty-six cars. Kevin Mosier jumped out to the early lead and led the first eight laps before Paquet made the pass for the lead. Paquet would then have to hold off a fierce group of cars that included Mosier, Jimmy Cummins and Gary Haynes over the final few laps. Mosier, Cummins and Haynes raced three wide on the final lap for second, allowing Paquet to take the victory by a car-length over Cummins who just beat out Haynes for the second spot. Mosier would have to settle for fourth behind Haynes. Troy Medley would complete the top five.
