Martin Wins Winged Outlaw Warrior Season Opener at LA
LaMONTE, MO (April 4th) - Looking for a fifth straight O’Reilly Auto Parts
Winged Outlaw Warriors title, Randy Martin won the rain-shortened Kiowa Line
Builders A Main at LA Raceway Saturday night.
Brian Brown jumped into the lead from his outside row two starting spot
followed by second starting Kyle Bellm, Rusty Potter, and Randy Martin.
Potter and Martin would have a fierce battle for third as they closely
followed Bellm. Martin would finally take the third spot from Potter for
good on lap seven.
Brown continued to lead, but Bellm and Martin would reel him in thanks to
lapped traffic. As the top three were able to free themselves from the
traffic, fourth place Potter and fifth place Dustin Barks were not as lucky
as they tangled in turn two. Just moments later, second running Bellm would
slide over the bank in turn four. Bellm would do a 360, but he would lose
his second spot as his car came to a stop. The chain of events to three of
the front runners would move Martin to second and Jesse Hockett up to third
followed by Jon Corbin and Jonathan Cornell.
On the lap eleven restart, Martin would get by Brown in turns one and two,
but as Martin slid up the track coming off of two, Brown would get back
underneath. Brown would feel pressure again from Martin, but would continue
to lead. The pressure from Martin would subside as he spun his tires in turn
two a lap later allowing Brown to extend his lead.
As the laps began to dwindle, Brown would again have trouble with a lapped
car allowing Martin to close in on him. Brown would slide high in turn two
and Martin would shoot underneath and into the lead. As Brown spun his
tires, Corbin, who had gotten by Hockett earlier, would make a run down the
backstretch. Corbin and Brown would go into three nearly side by side and
the two made contact as neither gave ground for the second position. The two
made contact and went airborne over the bank in turn three flipping wildly
as fourth running Hockett would have his top wing sheared off as he went
underneath the airborne pair. Luckily, both drivers would emerge unscathed
from the violent flips. Hockett, who was able to keep going, would then be
forced to the work area during the red flag to repair his mangled wing.
As the field got ready to restart, Mother Nature had other ideas as the
skies opened up and the final laps would not happen.
Martin was declared the winner as he picked up his 37th career win with WOW
in the Diamond Pet Foods J&J. Cornell would run second in the Kiowa Line
Builders Maxim followed by Frank Brown in the Viking Cleaners/Linda Brown
Tax Service sprinter. Don Droud Jr. would run fourth in the Jeff and Jerry
Smith Eagle with Josh Fisher rounding out the top five in the Rusty Fisher
Maxim. Mark Shirshekan was sixth followed by Terry Hinck. Dustin Selvage,
Chris Walker, and Eric Todd would round out the top ten.
The night’s racing was marred by numerous red flags. In hot laps, Ryan
Marsch took a wild tumble over the bank in between turns three and four. In
heat two, Clint Todd climbed the wheel of a competitor and flipped hard over
the bank in between turns three and four. Bradlee Ryun got into the
frontstretch wall at the start of heat four ending his night.
The O’Reilly Auto Parts Winged Outlaw Warriors will next be in action on
Friday May 1st at the Tri-City Speedway in Granite City, IL as they support
the Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour.
