Martin Wins Clyde Wood Memorial
CALIFORNIA, MO (July 26) - Taking control on a lap nineteen restart, Randy
Martin won the 7th Annual Clyde Wood Memorial at Double X Speedway with the
O’Reilly Auto Parts Winged Outlaw Warriors on Sunday night.
Kyle Bellm jumped into the lead in the Christian County Collision Repair J&J
followed by Martin and Curtis Boyer. Bellm had moved out to a comfortable
lead on lap three when the red flag was thrown for John Hillman, who flipped
in turn three after contact with another car.
On the restart, Bellm again took control and was followed by Martin, Boyer,
and Rusty Potter. The order would stay this way until lap six when sixth
place Adam Jones came to a stop on the frontstretch with terminal motor
problems.
On the restart, Martin would try a slidejob in turn one, but Bellm was able
to maneuver around and keep the lead. Lanny Carpenter would make his
presence known as he moved past both Boyer and Potter to take over third on
lap seven.
Bellm would continue to motor around the top as he was moving into lapped
traffic over the next few laps. On lap thirteen, Bellm climbed the cushion
in turn four smacking the wall. The contact would prove to be a problem
later in the race as Bellm continued looking for his first career victory.
Just behind the leaders, Jonathan Cornell, who had moved into the top four
was making a bid for third when he made contact with Carpenter in turn one.
Cornell would come to a stop on top of Carpenter’s Maxim as Bradley Potter
and Austin Alumbaugh were also involved. Potter would suffer too much damage
to continue, as the trio of other drivers would restart at the tail.
Bellm again jumped into the lead as he was followed by Martin and Boyer.
Over the next few laps, Martin would draw closer to Bellm as Boyer continued
to run third and Josh Fisher entered into the lead pack. As Fisher battled
with Boyer for third, the pair made contact and Fisher went over the front
of Boyer’s Eagle down the frontstretch. Boyer’s front end was damaged and he
slid into the frontstetch wall ending his fine run.
On the lap nineteen restart, Martin would put a slidejob on Bellm in between
turns one and two and take over the lead. Bellm then jumped the cushion
going down the backstetch as he was passed by Fisher and Potter. His already
damaged car would suffer too much damage as he again made contact with the
backstretch wall. Bellm would pull into the pits ending his dominant run.
Martin would continue to lead over the last few laps and go on to his third
WOW win of the season in the Diamond Pet Foods Maxim with Eckley power.
Fisher was second in the Impact Sign and Wraps Maxim with Singer power.
Potter ran a strong third in his Potter Trucking/Roy Cary Machinery and
Livestock Maxim with Ostrich power. Tyler Blank ran fourth in his Blank’s
Backhoe Maxim with Patriot power. Chris Walker ran a steady fifth in the
Santa Fe Glass Twister with Gaerte power.
Evan Martin came from seventeenth to sixth in the Heidlebreder Foundation
Maxim with Eckley power. Tony Crank continued his steady runs with a seventh
in his Peak Performance Physical Therapy and Sports Medicine Eagle with
Engine Connection power. Frank Brown was eighth in the Brown Farms F5 with
Wesmar power. Cornell and Carpenter would rebound from their earlier
incident as the pair came back to ninth and tenth.
The O’Reilly Auto Parts Winged Outlaw Warriors will take nearly a month off
as they will next be in action on Saturday August 22nd at West Plains
Speedway followed by a co-sanctioned event at the Missouri State Fair
Speedway with ASCS Midwest on Sunday August 23rd.
