MONETT, MO (May 27) - Sunday May 27 the Race Brothers Show-Me late models were at the Monett Speedway. The A-main would consist of twelve Show-Me late models and twelve open late models. Four heat races would allow the top eight in passing points to transfer into the A-main.

took heat two. The 11 of Jarrod Hilton came away with the win in heat three. The
fourth and final Show-Me heat was won by Kevin Henson in the 15.
Two B-features would determine the last four transfer positions. Fourteen cars
were left to battle it out for the top two spots in the two B-features. The 13
of Kevin Patrick and the 56 of Conner Ward came away with the two transfer
positions in B number one. Ken Essary in the 55 and the 00 of Jim Fulp took the
top two spots in the second B-feature.
A coin toss determined the Show-Me late models would line-up on the inside row.
The 5e of Leslie Essary started pole with the 77 of Roger Wilson right behind
him. The green dropped and Leslie jumped out to a quick lead. Essary was pulling
away from the pack of cars until he hit lap traffic. The 42 of Brandon McCormick
in an open car came and took the lead away. The race had no cautions and
McCormick came away with the open win and Leslie Essary came away with the
Show-Me victory. The top five Show-Me cars were Leslie Essary in the 5e, Roger
