NEVADA, MO (June 13, 2009) - With the City of Nevada holding their annual
Bushwacker Days in town, Jason Bodenhamer did a little Bushwacking of his
own to capture the O'Reilly MLRA Presented by Lucas Oil Products Feature win
on Saturday night at the Nevada Speedway. Jason led all 40 laps to pick up
the $3,000 winners share of the purse. Nevada's own Brantlee Gotschall had
an outstanding run to finish second with Corning, Iowa's Bryant Goldsmith in
the third spot. Joe Kosiski had another great run to take the fourth spot
while series point leader Al Purkey rounded out the Top-5.
Larry Clawson captured the sixth spot in his familiar L88. Brian Bolin
worked from his tenth starting spot to take seventh at the finish. David
Turner advanced 12 positions on the tricky bullring from his 20th starting
spot to finish eighth. Defending Series Champion John Anderson had to
qualify through a consolation race and worked his way all the way up to
ninth in the final rundown. Matt Johnson, one of the '09 MLRA Rookie
contenders rounded out the top 10 after winning his heat race earlier in the
evening.
Bodenhamer's Hatfield powered GRT is sponsored by Warsaw True Value,
Hitchcock Investments, Brookside Lawn Service, and Bodee's Race Bodies.
Heat Race Winners included Matt Johnson, Joe Kosiski, Brantlee Gotschall,
Aaron Seabaugh, and Bryant Goldsmith.
Consolation Race Winners included P.J. Haskins and John Anderson
Race Notes: Series Provisionals went to Eric Turner and Bill Koons. Denny
Woodworth had mechanical trouble with his Racecar Hauler and was unable to
make repairs in time to make it to the Nevada Speedway.
With his strong fifth place run and with Alan Vaughn finishing just outside
of the Top 10, Purkey has slightly increased his season long points lead to
36 markers over Vaughn and defending series Champion John Anderson, who has
now moved into a tie for second. The MLRA point battle is extremely tight as
there is also a tie for the fourth spot, as both David Turner and Joe
Kosiski sit with 297 points.
Eric Turner moved up one spot to sixth with Jason Bodenhamer jumping all the
way to the seventh spot by virtue of his win. Mike Collins sits in eighth
while Denny Woodworth slipped back to the ninth spot as he wasn't able to
run this evening due to hauler troubles enroute to the racetrack. Freeman,
Missouri's Aaron Seabaugh rounds out the Top-10. Complete and updated Points
standing can be found by visiting www.mlraracing.com.
The O'Reilly MLRA will take a two-week hiatus after this weekend as they
prepare for the huge Independence Day "Freedom Tour". The Tour will kick off
on Thursday night July 2nd at the I-80 Speedway in Greenwood, Nebraska. The
Park Jefferson Speedway in Park Jefferson, South Dakota will welcome the
O'Reilly MLRA for the first time on Friday night, July 3rd. The "Freedom
Tour" will wrap up with a huge Independence Day show at the Adams County
Speedway in Corning, Iowa on Saturday night, July 4th. Make your plans now
to attend all three events and celebrate the Independence Day Holiday with
the O'Reilly MLRA!
