(Warrensburg, MO) An afternoon of abundant sunshine and late May heat turned into an even hotter night of racing at Central Missouri Speedway (CMS) on Sunday for the first night of USRA modified inside row starting position qualifications in preparation for Monday’s $3,000 finale.
A field of 98 drivers checked into the pits at CMS for racing on the high-banked clay oval as fans came out in to support their favorite drivers for the annual holiday weekend special event, which was delayed by one day into Sunday for night one of the two-day event.
Twenty-one USRA Modifieds took to the track for three preliminary heat races with Kearney, Missouri driver Zack Sanders, Lewis Jackson from Wellsville, Kansas and Odessa, Missouri driver, Jim Moody emerging as the heat winners to start the process to set the field for the 20-lap scramble to determine the inside row qualifiers for Monday’s finale.
As the weather threatened late in the evening, the modified 20-lap scramble was on the line as Moody, along with Jon Sheets and Jason Thompson ran inside the top three to lead the way early in the race. Moody was the strong car throughout the evening with Sheets attempting to find a way into the lead. No one really ever challenged Moody’s lead as he finished the night with the pole position to lead the inside row qualifiers.
Sheets wound up in second followed by Thompson with a nice run to third. Zack Sanders, Shad Badder, Tim Karrick, Jason Bodenhammer, Tyler Schmidt, Trevor Hunt, Terry Schultz, Lewis Jackson and Brian Troxel filled the final twelve starting positions. However, Hunt and Schultz later relinquished their positions and will attempt to re-qualify on Monday evening when Modifieds compete in an all-new round of qualifying in an all-new race program.
Nick Pence and Tyler Shaw earned a spot in the final two starting spots for Monday night by virtue of Hunt and Schultz requalifying. Modifieds will compete in another round of heat race action and a 20-lap scramble on Monday to sort out the outside row qualifiers for the 40-lap main event.
The new weekly Pure Stock class showed improvement again this week competing in a heat race and a main event. The heat race went to Odessa driver, Bobby Raybourn ahead of Dirk Troth, Gary Akers and Leroy Morrison.
Pure Stocks were the first division to compete on the track for their main event. Raybourn immediately shot to the front with Troth in second hanging on just behind him. Morrison tried a late race move down low and spun Akers in turn two. In the end, Raybourn continued his winning ways with his second win in a row. Troth, the first time visitor from Nevada had a good run in second. Akers finished third and Morrison was fourth.
Street Stocks once again showed their skills this week with 24 drivers registered to compete in three heat races. Heat race number one had Jerry McConville from Pleasant Hill taking the checkers with Warrensburg driver Marc Carter claiming heat two and Clayton Campbell from Otterville victorious in the final heat.
The Street Stock features are becoming very competitive with several drivers capable of winning and the CMS fans appreciated their effort. Carter immediately led the field with Campbell, McConville, and James McMillin in hot pursuit. McMillin started working the high side of the track with Carter protecting down low. Campbell and McConville battled for the third and fourth spots close behind. After several lead swaps, Carter finally hung on for his second feature win at CMS this season. McMillin was just behind him with McConville, Campbell and Brain Ziegler rounding out the top five.
Another excellent field of 27 B-Modifieds battled through four heat races to start their night. Kearney, Missouri’s Troy Carlyle took heat one. Ethan Isaacs from Bonner Springs, Kansas grabbed the win in heat two as Luke Nieman from Nortonville, Kansas followed with a victory in heat three. Heat four was a close one with Warrensburg driver, Dean Wille claiming the win. In the b-main event, Jason Billups from Holt, Missouri takes the checkered flag.
Up next were the B-Modifieds for their 15-lap event. Wille and Jake Richards battled throughout this event with Wille maintaining his slim lead. Richards attempted to pass him on the low side several times but no avail. Just behind them, Cody Brill and Jacob Ebert were in a run for third when Brill slipped a little and Ebert moved up. Troy Carlyle also looked good early in the race but slipped back later on while Nieman also had some problems on his race machine and had to depart the track with right-front damage.
In the end, Wille claimed his second win in a row just in front of Richards at the checkers, Jacob Ebert, Cody Brill, Ethan and Lucas Isaacs rounded out the top six. In victory lane, Wille once again thanked his SAE UCM pit crew for all of their hard work on the car this season.
The Show-Me Vintage Racers (SMVR) made their first appearance at CMS this year. Thirteen drivers were set to show off their cars of yester year during this special Memorial Day weekend. In heat race one, Jimmy Smith from Independence took the win while in heat number two, Shane Wilson also from Independence, grabbed the checkered flag.
In the SMVR feature, it appeared Dan Chevilier in his 1939 Pontiac Coup would take the feature, but on the last lap he pulled off with a mechanical issue. Jim Clevinger eventually grabbed the checkered flag with Andy Wile second, Dave Baldwin, Larry Quint and Chevalier inside the top five.
The ULMA Late Models made their second appearance this year with thirteen drivers checking into the pits. The opening heat race of two had Jon Binning from Warrensburg taking the checkers with Independence driver, Bob King claiming the second heat.
Late Models took to the track next for their main event. From the start, it was Binning and Bob King battling back and forth for the lead. Everytime King would threaten to take the lead, a yellow flag came out and Binnng would return to the top spot on the restart. Behind the lead duo, Lane Ehlert along with Dustin Walker and Payton Looney were up in the mix in the top five.
Binning stayed strong and held on for his first ULMA victory this year. Behind Binning at the line were King, Ehlert, Steven Clancy and Dwight Niehoff coming up to finish in fifth.
Night two takes place on Monday, May 26 with USRA ‘Mighty’ Modifieds returning for qualifying spots to make up the outside row starting grid for the 40-lap finale at the end of the night. ULMA Late Models return for a second night of action with USRA B-Modifieds and Street Stocks also competing. Night two on Monday evening the B-Modifieds once again have USRA sanctioning. There are no track registration fees in any class other than USRA and ULMA licensing for the applicable classes.
On a night where many in the stands remembered and honored the fallen servicemen and women who paid the ultimate price by sacrificing their lives for our freedom, several drivers took part in a “pass the helmet” event for Aaron Marrant and his family, who recently lost their house in the Orrick, Missouri tornado. Drivers helped earn over $800 for their fellow driver in a strong outpouring of support of fans in the stands.
