JOHNNY SCOTT STAYS HOT AT WHEATLAND, WINS TRIBUTE TO DON & BILLIE GIBSON

| May 29, 2022

Wheatland, MO (May 27, 2022) – Lucas Oil MLRA Point Leader Johnny Scott and 2015 Show-Me 100 winner Jonathan Davenport put on an epic back and forth battle during Friday night’s Tribute to Don & Billie Gibson at the Lucas Oil Speedway. In the end it was Scott scoring the $6,000 preliminary night victory in the event co-sanctioned by the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series.

 

Mike Marlar and Davenport started on the front row of the 40 lapper, the weekends only preliminary qualifying night after rain washed out Thursday’s Cowboy Classic. Davenport shot to the top side at the drop of the green and took to the point for the first four laps before Scott charged to the bottom off the exit of turn two and grabbed his first lead of the night.

Four time Show-Me 100 winner Jimmy Owens had a quiet night, rounding out the podium finishers with a third place run. 2021 Show-Me 100 Winner Hudson O’Neal had an impressive run coming from 13th on the grid to finish fourth, setting himself up with a good starting spot for Saturday nights $50,000 to win finale. Fellow seventh row starter Ricky Thornton Jr., also moved through the field to round out the top five.

 

The final night of the 30th Annual Lucas Oil Show-Me 100 Presented by ProtectTheHarvest.com hits the track on Saturday night at the Lucas Oil Speedway.  Racing will include last chance races plus the Midwest Sheet Metal Show-Me Challenge leading up to the $50,000 to win Show-Me 100. Fan are encouraged to come early and visit the midway and see the pre-race festivities including a performance by country music star Aaron Tippin.

Scott’s first crack at the lead would be short lived, as Davenport returned to the top spot just two laps later, setting up what would be a back and forth battle for the lead between the lead duo. Davenport was committed to the high line while Scott continued his pursuit of the win using the low line of the speedway. While the leaders continued to exchange the top spot, a total of seven lead changes, Marlar continued to hold down the third spot until lap 21 when he bicycled at the entrance of one and brought out the events only red flag. Marlar would walk away from the incident, but his night would be over early.

 

Back under the green the leaders would work their way back into lapped traffic. With laps winding down, Scott tried the high line entering turn one and was able to make a diamond move off the exit of two to power by for the top spot once again. Scott, would lead the final eight laps to capture the win over Davenport by 2.466 seconds at the line, marking his second win of the season at the Lucas Oil Speedway and third of the year under the MLRA series banner.
