(WHEELERSBURG, OHIO) The Conley Motorsports, Inc. teams were all in action
last Friday night at the Midway Speedway in Crooksville, OH for an
unsanctioned, $3,000 to win show. R.J. Conley ended up sweeping the event,
as he set a new track record in qualifying, won his heat, and led laps 13-35
in the feature event to take the $3,000 top prize back to Wheelersburg.
R.J. took the lead from Rick Aukland in the main event after Aukland led the
first 12 circuits.
"It was a good win for us and it feels good to get that first win of the
season," said R.J. from the Conley compound on Monday. "We set another
track record in qualifying and that is the second in as many weekends. Then
in the feature, (Rick) Aukland kind of held us up there at the beginning,
but once I was able to get by him, I was pretty good. Maybe we can get on a
little roll here because the car is really starting to get good here of
lately."
R.J.'s dad Delmas, a 2004 Dirt Late Model Hall of Fame inductee, also made
the main event at Midway by finishing third in his heat race. The familiar
Conley Trucking #71 Rocket / Draime Monte Carlo rolled off the grid eleventh
for the feature and ended up in the thirteenth spot after the 35 laps had
been completed.
"Hot Rod" Conley was also in attendance at Midway and he wound up with a
solid Top Five outing. After winning his heat race, he ran solidly in the
Top Five all night and finished in the fifth spot when the checkers fell
over the field. Rod also competed in the 'Topless 50' at the Tyler County
Speedway on Saturday night and brought his #71r home with a seventh place
outing in that $3,000 to win show.
The Conley's will look for more success this weekend when all three racing
Conley's show up at the Skyline Speedway in Stewart, OH on Friday night. A
$3,000 top prize is up for grabs in the 'Milky Way 50.' Saturday night, the
Conley's are slated to compete at a couple of different tracks. R.J. is
scheduled to compete in the $2,000 to win opener at the Portsmouth Raceway
Park in Portsmouth, OH. Rod and Delmas will be heading to the K-C Raceway
in Chillicothe, OH on Saturday for a $2,000 to win show there.
