Caney Valley, KS (07/16/10) – Johnny Bone Jr. overcame lapped traffic and a late race charge from Jesse Stovall to win the COMP Cams SMP Sooner Speedweek Event Presented By Racing Head Service at Caney Valley Speedway in Caney, Kansas.
After finishing second earlier in the week at Thunderbird Speedway in his only other COMP Cams SMP Speedweek start, Johnny Bone Jr. started the night by setting fast time in MRW Race Wheels Qualifying with a lap of 14.98 second around the ¼ mile oval. He was joined on the front row by Mickey Burrell for the 30 lap main event and the front row starters would see the first two starts waved off due to cautions for spun cars. The third attempt to get the race underway would be successful, and Bone Jr. would jump to the lead over Burrell, Jesse Stovall, Allen Chickering, and Randy Todd.
Lap three would find Bone comfortably in the lead, while Burrell and Stovall battled side-by-side for second. Two laps later Stovall would take over the second position, while Burrell faded to the fifth spot.
Stovall found himself a straightaway behind the leader by lap ten as the battle for third commanded the crowd’s attention with Randy Todd, Rodney Sanders, and Hunter Rasdon battling three wide.
Shortly after the halfway point, Bone Jr. would find himself in heavy lapped traffic as Stovall began to close in on him. Traffic would begin to wreak havoc for the top two cars over the next few laps, which allowed third place runner, Rodney Sanders, to make up ground on the leader.
The remainder of the event would see the leaders navigating heavy traffic, and as the lead trio came to the white flag the crowd came to their feet as Stovall tried a daring move on the outside for the lead in turns one and two. However, Bone Jr. would slam the door as he went on to lead the last half lap en route to the $1,500 payday. Stovall, Sanders, Rasdon, and Tommy Weder Jr. rounded out the top five.
The final round of the COMP Cams SMP Sooner Speedweek will be held at Mid America Speedway in South Coffeyville, Oklahoma on Saturday night, July 17th. For more information, please visit www.SMPSeries.com and www.MidAmericaSpeedway.com .
