kentucky-lake-motor-speedwayCALVERT CITY, Ky. – Matt Mevert and Tait Davenport were the winners of Saturday night’s twin 35-lap features paying $3,000 first-place prize money at Kentucky Lake Motor Speedway.

Mevert, of Steeleville, Illinois, led all the way to claim the UMP Modified feature, while Davenport, of Benton, Kentucky, had to fight side-by-side with Todd Coffman before taking the lead on the 11th lap and going on to claim the Pro (Crate) Late Model victory.

In other feature events on the program, Randy Sellars won the 25-lap Late Model main and Mike Lentz won for the second time this year in Stock Car.

Mevert outdistanced Brian Barber, Hunter Rasden, Chad Kinder and Matt Cooper to win the Modified main in his first visit this year to the KLMS.  He took the lead from his outside front-row starting spot and was never seriously challenged.

A full field of 30 cars started the race after a 12-lap consolation race decided the last six starting spots.

Mevert, Kinder, Barber and Bryce Jewell won heat races and Todd Riley won the consolation race. Don Brantley and Dustin Rollins escaped injury in a tangle on the front straightaway at the end of the first lap, with Brantley’s car doing two complete barrel rolls. Brantley first made contact with the car driven by Chase Copeland and as he spun, he collected Rollins’ car.

In the Crate feature, Davenport gunned his car from his third-place starting spot underneath the front row pair of Coffman and Chris Shelton. The trio raced three-wide until Coffman assumed a narrow lead, with Davenport beside him. The two drivers battled door-to-door until Davenport dropped in behind Coffman and then shot underneath him in Turn 1 of lap 11. He was in front the next time past the flagstand and held command the rest of the way.

Shelton took second, followed by Coffman, Cameron Brown and Jeff Walston.

Brown, Shelton and Davenport were heat race winners.

Sellars led all the way to win over Jarryd Holshouser, with Jimmy Miller third. Austin Rettig, Chris Shelton and Jeffrey Bailey rounded out the six-car field.

Lentz also led all the way, but had to fight off repeated challenges, first from Kassidi Gibbs, then Dale Nelson, then Mike Hodges and Nelson again before taking the checkered flag. Nelson was second, followed by Tya Cunningham, Gibbs and Hodges.
