MOBERLY, MO (June 25) RACE REPORT: Finally, a perfect race night, weather wise, as the all-fendered classes perform at 24 Raceway. The two support classes for the MLRA LateModel show, were Sportsman and Hobby Stocks for this special Thursday night edition of racing at Moberly. These two classes will both need to overcome some attrition to get ready for a second race night at the track in the same week. And the Hobbys continued to be swept by Clayton Crump in his red No. 3C Chevrolet. Crump led all the laps in this 8-lap race, as the actual close part of the competition was for 2nd. Tom Creed moved into 2nd at the start, but it looked like Justin Bevill might just have had other thoughts about taking that position over. Creed hung on to get his 2nd place finish in his first time back to Moberly this season. Creed just didn't have anything for the leader in this one, as Crump made it look easy once more, winning his 5th of the year out of 6 races. J.Bevill stayed in 3rd and Jerry Warren settled for 4th, followed by Jamie Bevill and Nathan Anders. The race had only one caution flag waive. Andrew Page jumped to the lead over Chad Walter and the Agee brothers for the start of the Sportsman race. But it didn't matter as a complete restart was needed after a caution and lengthy clean-up on the front stretch from Lucas Galland and Cody Agee locking up their cars together right at the start/finish line. And this was just after Wesley Mayfield hit the turn 4 wall and brought out that caution. On the restart, this time it was Walter this time who jumped into the lead. Rick Girard slid into 2nd and Page was 3rd, but only for a short time, as he took over 2nd on the next lap. Walter held on to the lead before and after the next caution at the beginning of lap 6. But at the start of lap 11, Walter, Page and Derrick Agee were running 3-wide into the turns, and while a little banging was going on between Walter and Page, Agee took his borrowed car, now numbered as the 14, and "rubbed" his way in front of the other two in some exciting racing. Agee held the lead through the white and checker flags for the win, as Page finished in 2nd over Walter. Galland, in his Lightning McQueen paint scheme, came in 4th in front of William Dahl's Dodge.
