BETHANY, MO (September 2, 2012) – Moore Sweeps Bethany
Moore Sweeps Bethany
BETHANY, MO (September 2, 2012)- Leaving little doubt as to who had the dominant car on Sunday evening in front of a packed grandstand at Bethany Fairgrounds Speedway, Mitchell Moore completed a clean sweep after leading all twenty five laps in Wingless Auto Racing action.
Scheduled to start third, Moore became the recipient of good fortune as front row starter Tyler Blank looped his car in turn two on the original start. Josh Stephens and Steven Cross were also involved. Stephens suffered too much damage to continue and Blank and Cross would restart at the back of the field.
This moved Moore to the front row and on the next start, he shot into the lead as he was followed by Chris Parkinson. A couple of laps later, Parkinson would see his evening end as he went to the pits.
Moore was followed by J.R. Topper and Austin Alumbaugh with the pair having a good battle for second behind him.
By lap eight, Alumbaugh would get by Topper, but Moore was in another area code.
Behind the lead trio, Chad Tye had worked his way up to fourth as he was followed by Taylor Walton and Blank. Also in this pack were Lane Stone and Steven Cross.
Moore comfortably picked up his third win of the season and his second straight in the Kelly Potter owned mount with Denny Moore power. Alumbaugh was second in Rick Smith’s Engine Connection MRP. Topper ran a strong third with Tye and Walton completing the top five. Blank was sixth with Stone and Cross following. Rounding out the top ten were Bill Nolker and Rod Baker.
Moore set fast time over the seventeen car field while heat race winners were Blank and Moore.
Second fast qualifier Kenny Potter’s evening came to an end after a tangle with a lapped car in heat one left his car too damaged to continue.
WAR will next be in action on Friday September 7th at the Valley Speedway in Grain Valley, MO as they make their third appearance of the season there. The next night on Saturday September 8th, they will make their first ever appearance at Midway Speedway in Lebanon, MO.
