Smith strongest in Iron Man Challenge clash at LA Raceway
LA MONTE, Mo. (May 17) – Brad Smith of Belton, Mo., started on the pole of the USRA B-Mod feature and never looked back as he claimed the Iron Man Challenge checkers Friday night at the LA Raceway.
The win was worth $500 to Smith as he held off fellow Show-Me State speedsters Shawn Strong and Jacob Ebert for the win.
Steve Goodman finished fourth ahead of last year’s points runner-up Jared Timmerman. Chad Staus, Dakota Foster, Billy Bentley, Dean Wille and Adam Belt competed the top 10 finishers.
With his fourth top-10 finish in five starts, Goodman took over the top spot in the Iron Man Challenge USRA B-Mod points standings and sits just two markers ahead of Strong. Cory Crapser, Timmerman and Ebert complete the top 5 in the rankings.
The next Iron Man Challenge event is next Thursday, May 23, and will feature both the USRA Stock Cars and USRA B-Mods together for the first time this season. Both classes will be in action again Saturday, May 25, at the Deer Creek Speedway in Spring Valley, Minn., and both blockbuster events next week will also feature the mighty USMTS Modifieds.
