Zebulon, Georgia (08/26/14) - After seeing a flat tire end his chances at a win on Friday night Shane Clanton bounced back on Sunday evening in his #25 Weldbank Energy/Capital Race Car/Clements Race Engine Super Late Model to claim the $3,000 win at Little Valley Speedway.
Weekend action opened on Friday night at I-96 Speedway (Lake Odessa, Michigan) as thirty-four entries registered for the $10,000-to-win program. Shane started his night strong by setting fast time honors not only in his group but also overall. In addition his 16.000 second lap around the 3/8 mile marked a new track record at the reconfigured oval. A dominating heat race win earned him a spot in the redraw, where he received the second starting spot on the feature grid. When the race went green, Clanton assumed the point over pole sitter, Curtis Roberts. Clanton set the pace out, and looked to be well on his way to his first WoO victory of the season. Unfortunately, disaster struck for Shane on lap 42 when he blew a right rear tire. With just eight laps remaining his night came to an early end as he retired to a disappointing fifteenth place finish in the final rundown.
Action shifted to Merritt Speedway (Merritt, Michigan) on Saturday night for another $10,000-to-win race. Thirty-four competitors filled the pit are at the oval, and Clanton used a third place finish in the third heat race to lock into the eleventh starting spot for the finale. In the 50 lap main event, Shane advanced to a seventh place finish.
Shane is currently seventh in the latest WoO standings. Full results and the latest series' standings are available at www.WoOLMS.com
The team entered an unsanctioned $3,000-to-win program at Little Valley Speedway (Little Valley, New York) on Sunday evening. With seventeen entries in the pits, Shane raced to the third starting spot in the feature via his preliminary efforts. The Zebulon, Georgia ace took over the top spot on a lap two restart, and dominated the remainder of the 30 lap feature to score the win over Dick Barton, Mike Knight, Bump Hedman, and Greg Oaks. Full results from the event can be found at www.LittleValleySpeedway.com
"Friday night was a heartbreaker, for sure, but sometimes it happens," said Clanton. "However, if anything it showed us that this new car is really phenomenal, and it gave our whole team a lot of much-needed confidence. That was a big factor in our dominant performance at Little Valley."
Shane Clanton returns to action with the World of Outlaws (WoO) Super Late Models this Labor Day weekend with three events in the state of Pennsylvania. Action opens on Friday at Lernerville Speedway (Sarver, PA) with a $10,000-to-win event. From there the team will head to Selinsgrove Speedway (Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania) for an $8,000-to-win race on Saturday night and a $10,000-to-win affair on Sunday evening.
