LA MONTE, Mo. -- LA Raceway ended its 2012 season on a high note with great action on the track and a large crowd to witness the Airgas of Sedalia and Lincoln Electric Night.

The Pitts Homes of Warsaw USRA Modified division saw a two-time winner with Matt Dotson of Clark taking the checkered flag and a Lincoln Electric welder from Airgas of Sedalia.

Dotson was followed to the line by Mickey Burrell of Fair Grove and four-time winner Terry Schultz of Sedalia.

Following the night’s race program, promoter Mike White presented beautiful trophies to the top 5 points earners in each division and presented plaques to the ‘hard chargers’ who are the drivers with the most positions gained throughout the season in the feature events.

Schultz ran away with the track championship, winning four feature events and fighting off an endless list of talented challengers including Justin Moon, Chad Lyle, Christopher Moon and Nathan Vaughn, who finished in that order in points.

Steve Twenter of Sedalia finished sixth in points and received the ‘hard charger’ award.

With the 2012 season now in the record books, plans are already underway for next season at LA Raceway with action slated to begin in March.
