The O'Reilly MLRA 2005 Thunder Tour rolled into Lebanon Midway Speedway for the second time of the season and when the smoke had cleared Alan Vaughn found himself at the top of the heap.
Vaughn, the defending O'Reilly MLRA champion, found himself in a heated battle from the drop of the green flag with the machine piloted by Lancaster, MO's Chris Smyser. The two battled wheel to wheel hoping to get the advantage over the other, but it was to no avail as neither driver could break free of the other. Continuing to run side by side the two began to distance themselves from the rest of the field until contact between the two found Smyser sidelined for the remaineder of the event on lap 14. From that point on Vaughn retained command of the field and would never relinquish the top spot with Al Purkey coming across the line in second. Jason Bodenhamer, Bryon Allison, and Shane Essary rounded out the top five at the finsh.
Jason Bodenhamer, Alan Vaughn, and Chris Smyser found themselves on top of heat race action as they took the three heat wins.
Next up for the O'Reilly MLRA 2005 Thunder Tour is a trip to the plains of Kansas and Salina Speedway on September 3.
