California, MO(May 24th)-Showing the skill that has made him the four-time defending O’Reilly Auto Parts Winged Outlaw Warrior champion, Randy Martin scored his second victory of the 2009 season at Double X Speeway Sunday night.
At the drop of the green flag, Curtis Boyer jumped into the lead, but before a lap could be completed, the yellow would be thrown for a tangle between Don Droud Jr. and Evan Martin in turn four. Martin would be unable to continue.
When racing resumed, Boyer again would take the lead as Martin was able to move into second followed by Josh Fisher. With Boyer running the high line along with Martin, Fisher started making up ground running the bottom line.For the next few laps, the spots would remain the same, but Fisher continued to cut into the lead. On lap eight, Fisher got by Martin and set his sights on Boyer. A lap later, Fisher got by Boyer for the lead as Boyer kept within striking distance.
By lap thirteen, Martin and Curtis Evans were able to work by Boyer, but before the lap could be completed, the yellow was thrown for Forest Sutherland, who had spun off the track between turns one and two. On the lap thirteen restart, Martin was able to work by Boyer for second and he set his sights on Fisher.
Behind the lead duo of Fisher and Martin, Evans and Jonathan Cornell were pressuring Boyer for third.
Martin was flying on the high side and went by Fisher for the lead on lap fifteen as Cornell was pressuring Boyer for third.
Lap eighteen would see Fisher reeling back in Martin for the lead as Cornell would finally work his way past Boyer for third.
A lap later, Fisher would go back under Martin for the lead as the yellow flag flew for an Austin Alumbaugh spin in between turns one and two. The yellow was unfortunate for Fisher as he would have to restart second.
On the restart, Martin would jump out to the lead as Fisher would set chase again over the final seven laps. Martin would get a sizeable lead, but over the last couple of laps, Fisher was inching closer to Martin. As Martin came out of turn four to take the checkered flag, he jumped the cushion and as he came to the finish, he edged Fisher for his 38th career WOW win in his Diamond Pet Foods J&J. Fisher ran a strong second in the Ozark Barge and Dock Service Maxim. Cornell was just behind the lead duo in the Kiowa Line Builders Maxim. Running fourth was Evans in the Arctic Cat Maxim. Kyle Bellm charged from his fifteenth starting spot to finish fifth in the Christian County Collision Repair J&J. Boyer ran a solid sixth followed by Rusty Potter, who started seventeenth. Rounding out the top ten were Terry Hinck, eighteenth starting Jeff Wingate, and Adam Jones.
The Winged Outlaw Warriors will next be in action on Friday June 12th at Midway Speedway in Lebanon, MO as the series makes its second ever appearance at the track.
