Terry Phillips Captures Lakeside Speedway Win!
KANSAS CITY, KS (October 2) - Springfield, Missouri's Terry Phillips
captured night #1 of the O'Reilly MLRA Clyde Ellis Late Model Showdown at
Lakeside Speedway in Kansas City, KS. Arlington, Ohio's Matt Miller was
second with Marquette, Nebraska's Kyle Berck finishing in third. Welcome,
North Carolina's Dale McDowell rallied from his 18th starting position to
finish in fourth with Franklin, Pennsylvania's Matt Lux rounded out the Top
5. Sixth through tenth were Rylan Long, Kurt Kile, Denny Woodworth, David
Turner, and Matt Johnson respectively. John Anderson had mechanical
difficulties early in the race after contact with the Turn 2 wall ultimately
resulting a second consecutive 22nd place finish. Al Purkey rallied from an
early pit stop to finish in 10th taking the point lead from Anderson. Purkey
leads by just 4 points over Anderson with 2 races remaining.
Payne and Phillips shared the front row as the 26 car field stormed to the
green flag but it was Phillips taking the point to lead the opening lap.
Payne returned the favor to take the lead on Lap #2 as there was plenty of 3
and 4 wide racing throughout the field in his rear view mirror. Matt Miller
ran third in the early going with Anderson in fourth and Rookie Matt Johnson
in fifth. A Caution for debris on lap 5 reset the field as Payne continued
to lead with Miller now up to second and Phillips in third.
A second caution flag flew on Lap 7 for a spin on the backstretch by Kurt
Kile and Chris Simpson. Al Purkey also pitted under the caution and returned
at the rear of the field. Payne continued to lead as the laps clicked off
but Omaha, Nebraska's John Anderson jumped the cushion in Turn 2 ending his
night after contact with the wall. The field settled into a solid run of
green flag laps before a final restart on Lap 27 would decide the outcome of
tonight's event. The single file restart had Payne leading with Phillips
second but as the field roared down the backstretch, apparent contact
between teammates Phillips and Payne sent Payne into a spin and stopping on
the backstretch. Payne retired to the pits as his night was over. A torried
battle between Phillips and Miller was settled by Phillips as he crossed the
line in first for the $3,000 winner's share of the money.
Phillip's GRT Chassis is Powered by a Hatfield Racing Engine with
sponsorship support from Andy's Frozen Custard, Don Babb Motorsports, New
Vision Graphics, and Integra Shocks/Springs. The Feature was worth $3,000 to
win.
Heat Race Winners included Jeremy Payne, Matt Miller, Matt Johnson, John
Anderson, and David Turner. Consolation Race Wins were captured Keith Foss
and Dale McDowell. MLRA Provisionals were awarded to Joe Kosiski and Bryant
Goldsmith. The MLRA Rookie of the Race went to Archie, Missouri's Matt
Johnson. Complete and updated MLRA points standings will be available at
