Fisher Wins at Double X
BY: Kristin Buford
CALIFORNIA, MO (July 3rd) - Adding to his O’Reilly Auto Parts Winged
Outlaw Warrior point lead, Josh Fisher scored his third win of the season at
Double X Speedway Friday night.
Four-time defending WOW champion Randy Martin jumped out into the lead in
his Diamond Pet Foods J&J as he was chased by Curtis Evans and Fisher. The
action would come to a stop on lap two for a Frank Brown in turn two.
Lap three would see Martin again jumping into the lead with Fisher taking
second away from Evans. Evans would take second back on lap five as a yellow
would come out for Tyler Blank, who spun between turns one and two.
Martin again flew to the lead on the high side as Evans and Fisher gave
chase. Lap eight would see the yellow fly again for Frank Brown, who spun
off the track between turns one and two.
Martin would once again jump into the lead as Evans and Fisher continued to
give chase. Lap ten would see Fisher, who was running the bottom, get by
Evans. The next several laps would see Martin continuing to lead as Fisher
started to reel in the leader. The excitement grew as a couple of laps the
pair ran nearly side by side.
On lap seventeen, Fisher went by Martin and into the lead as Martin stayed
close to the new leader. After a yellow flag on lap eighteen, Martin changed
his line and followed Fisher on the bottom and he made contact with the
inside wall. The contact broke a radius rod on the left front ending
Martin’s night on lap nineteen.
On the restart with a lap nearly completed, disaster would strike
second-place Evans as he rolled to a stop in turn four with terminal engine
problems.
Fisher would again jump into the lead as Adam Jones, Evan Martin, Mitchell
Moore, Rusty Potter, and Lanny Carpenter had a great battle for the next
five positions over the last five laps.
Fisher would go on to the win in his Impact Signs and Wraps/Ozark Barge and
Dock Service Maxim with Singer power. Jones would run a strong second in the
Wireless Horizon/Harry J’s Steak House Hovis-powered Maxim.
Martin would have a WOW career best finish of third in the Heidbreder
Foundation Service Kistler/Maxim. Potter ran a solid fourth in his Roy Cary
Livestock and Machinery/Isle of Capri Casino Ostrich/Maxim.
Rounding out the top five was Carpenter in his Sierra Pool and Spas/Engine
Connection Maxim.
Moore would run sixth in the Steve Neale Maxim with Bob Morton Enterprises
power. Jon Corbin ran seventh followed by Austin Alumbaugh. Rounding out the
top ten were Terry Hinck and Curtis Boyer.
The Winged Outlaw Warriors will next be in action at 24 Raceway in Moberly,
MO on Saturday July 17th.
Also announced are a couple of additions to the schedule as they will be
running the Clyde Wood Memorial at Double X on Sunday July 26th as well as a
co-sanctioned show with ASCS Midwest at US 36 Raceway in Osborn, MO on
Friday August 28th.
