Larry Jones, Tim Setzer, and Derek Brown Grab Rockstar Energy
Drink Series Wins
WHEATLAND, MO (April 16, 2011) -
Larry Jones, Tim Setzer, and Derek Brown tamed demanding track conditions
this past Saturday Night to grab Rockstar Energy Drink Weekly Racing Series
Opening Night Wins in the TNT Quick Shop Late Models, Pitt's Homes
A-Modifieds, and Carson's Corner Napa Factory Stocks respectively. With
typical cold and wet early April weather handing competitors an extremely
fast and less than smooth racing surface, the racing action on the track was
fast and furious as the three veterans used their experience to manage their
equipment and visit Victory Lane for the first time in 2011.
In the TNT Quick Shop Late Models, El Dorado Springs, Missouri's Larry Jones
earned the pole position by virtue of earning the most passing points in his
heat race and never looked back as he survived multiple restarts to hold off
Odessa, Missouri's Steven Clancy at the end. Browning, Missouri's Tommy
Cordray was third at the finish followed by Greenfield, Missouri's Rylan
Long. Neosho's Chris Hawkins rounded out the Top-5 finishing in the fifth
position. Walnut Grove, Missouri's Jeremy Kelley was involved in a hard
rollover crash just after taking the checkered flag in the main event and
was transported and released from a Bolivar area hospital after complaining
of upper back pain. Daniel Jessen was also involved in a very hard head on
crash after having his throttle stick earlier in the main event. Jessen was
OK but the car suffered heavy damage.
Archie, Missouri's Tim Setzer fought a torrid battle with Springfield,
Missouri's Jeremy Payne throughout the main event in the Pitt's Homes
A-Modifieds to score his first win of 2011. Payne settled for second at the
finish. Wheatland, Missouri's Jason Pursley drove his bright yellow modified
to a third place finish after starting in the seventh spot. Jackie Dalton
out of Carthage, Missouri made a rare appearance at Lucas Oil Speedway to
finish in fourth followed by NitroCult Racing's David Hendrix out of Laquey,
Missouri. Carthage, Missouri's Darrell Jackson took a wild tumble in turns 1
and 2 but was able to walk away from the crash.
Sundance Keepper led the early going in the Carson's Corner Napa Factory
Stocks and appeared to be the dominant car on the evening, but he began to
slow allowing Derek Brown and Randy Gilmore to slip by. Almost immediately
after losing the lead, Keepper went up in a plume of smoke in Turns 3 and 4
ending his night. On the ensuing restart, Derek Brown in the black #11 held
off a fast closing Randy Gilmore on a green, white checkered finish to grab
the win in the opening night of competition in the Carson's Corner Napa
Factory Stocks. Gilmore held on for second at the stripe. Clever, Missouri's
Steve Morton crossed the AAA Start/Finish Line in the third spot at the end
with Michael Plummer and Dan Rodabaugh rounding out the Top-5 in fourth and
fifth respectively.
Lucas Oil Speedway will be back in action next Saturday, April 23rd as all
three classes in the Rockstar Energy Drink Weekly Championship Series will

Homes A-Modifieds, and the TNT Quick Shop ULMA Late Models. Gates will open
