WILLIS, Texas (Oct. 23) – The Hunt for the USMTS Dirthead.com Southern Series Championship presented by Dirt Modified Magazine kicked off Friday night at the Gator Motorplex with the TrackTek Racing Fuels Halloween Havoc - the first of eight events that will culminate with the crowning of the third USMTS Dirthead.com Southern Series champion.
Although the annual holiday is still a week away, race fans Friday night were already bagging a treat.
Nine-time USMTS National Champion Kelly Shryock drew the pole position for the main event and jumped out to the early lead.
Shryock set a torrid pace around the quarter-mile high-banked clay oval before Jon Tesch wrestled the lead away on lap 8.
Tesch led the next 26 laps, however, there still 27 left.
On the final lap, John O Whittington made his move and snuck by Tesch to take the lead, then crossed beneath the checkers to score his first USMTS Dirthead.com Southern Series victory.
The win was worth $2,000 to the resident of nearby Vidor, Texas, in his 41st career start with America's premier dirt modified tour.
Tesch had to settle for the runner-up paycheck while Bumper Jones finished third.
Chris Henigan earned the KSE Racing Products Hard Charger Award by finishing fourth after starting 15th on the 26-car Sunoco “A” Main grid.
Shryock slipped to a fifth-place finish by the end of the contest, but it was enough to move him into the points lead in the Hunt for the USMTS Dirthead.com Southern Series Championship presented by Dirt Modified Magazine.
Jason Hughes came into Friday's event as the points leader, but the defending USMTS Dirthead.com Southern Series champ's title defense got off to a rocky start.
After suffering a blown engine in his heat race, Hughes inserted a new powerplant and passed nine cars in the second Real Racing Wheels “B” Main but came up one spot short of qualifying for the main event and had to use a provisional starting spot for the feature race.
He made the most of it, muscling his way past 15 competitors to finish eighth, but earning no passing points as a provisional starter.
Scott Green finished sixth in the main event, AFCO Pole Award winner Cody Smith was seventh, Shane Hebert was ninth and Steve Holzkamper rounded out the top-10 finishers.
Shryock, the 2007 USMTS Dirthead.com Southern Series champion, leads Hughes by just 5 points with seven races remaining in the title chase, while Tesch, Henigan and Whittington jumped up to third, fourth and fifth, respectively.
Sixth through tenth are Jones, Rodney Sanders, Hebert, Steven Whiteaker Jr. and Bryan Rowland.
Several other points races are also heating up entering the final stretch.
Wes Armstrong continues to lead the Dustin Duncan Memorial “Just Say Yes” Rookie of the Year points standings over his brother, Jason, by nine points, but Henigan was able to close the gap with his stout run in Friday's nightcap.
Chad Davis is fourth and Garrett Durrett is fifth with all five within striking distance of the top spot.
Whittington was the 2008 Dustin Duncan Memorial “Just Say Yes” Rookie of the Year Award winner.
The COMP Cams Engine Builder of the Year points race has Mullins Race Engines up front with a nine-point advantage over A.S.I. Racing Engines, while the defending champ’s Hughes Racing Chassis maintains a slim lead over Shryock’s Skyrocket Chassis stable in the 2009 Chassis Builders Championship points.
