KANSAS CITY, KS (Sept. 27, 2008) -- Denny Woodworth on Friday grabbed the
win here at Lakeside Speedway on Night One of the Late Model Shootout. The
event was co-sanctioned by the WORLD Dirt Racing League and the O'Reilly
MLRA Series.
Woodworth, of Mendon, Ill., started the 30-lap feature from the second row
inside position. He battled in the top five for the first half of the race.
He was in third place but inherited the top spot when leader Jess Stovall of
Galena, Mo., blew an engine and second-place runner Chad Simpson of Mt.
Vernon, Iowa, cut a right rear tire. Woodworth held on to the lead despite
heavy pressure from Bryant Goldsmith of Corning, Iowa, and Terry Phillips of
Springfield, Mo., who made a hard charge from the back of the pack.
Phillips started 23rd and worked the high side around Lakeside Speedway to a
second-place finish. He was closing in on Woodworth toward the end but ran
out of laps before he could mount a serious threat.
John Anderson, Omaha, Neb., moved from his 12th-place starting spot to a
top-five finish. His patience paid off, and he finished third after battling
on the back end of the top five through most of the race. He began his
charge forward with 10 laps to go.
Alan Vaughn, Belton, Mo., and Larry Clawson, North Kansas CIty, Mo., rounded
out the top five.
Simpson, the WDRL point leader going into the race, finished 11th after
cutting the tire and having to fight his way forward from the back of the
field.
John Kaanta of Elk Mound, Wis., regained the series point lead with a solid
sixth-place finish.
The WORLD Dirt Racing League returns to Lakeside Speedway tonight, Saturday,
Sept. 27, for Night Two of the Late Model Shootout. The tour wraps up its
2008 season next weekend with a $10,000-to-win, two-day show at Davenport
(Iowa) Speedway.
