Sheets takes USRA Modified feature win with late pass at Lucas Oil Speedway
Jon Sheets won the USRA Modified feature on Saturday, April 27, at the Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Mo.
Jon Sheets used a last-lap pass of Robbie Reed in a battle of the two previous USRA Modified feature winners to take home his second win of season Saturday night at the Lucas Oil Speedway on on $5 Night presented by KY3.
Sheets, of Nevada, wound up 1.176 seconds in front at the finish. He made the winning drive from the sixth starting position, while Reed started on the outside of row one. The two battled back and forth over the final five laps.
"My car was really good on top," Sheets said. "I think everybody else was too tight to make it up there and I was free enough to make it happen. He was kind of pinching that off to the wall, so I knew it was gonna have to be a slide job.
"I was pretty confident that we had a better car on top any way. I didn't know if he could search around and get something found, but with so few laps, he didn't have time to search. I was pretty confident that we were going to be able to be able to hold onto it."
Sheets said it's been fun early in the season.
"It's awesome. We didn't really struggle last year, but we struggled to get the wins. So many seconds to Darren (Fuqua). Finally, I kind of feel like we're the guy, we're the Darren this year so far, but that can all change tomorrow. We're gonna go back to the shop and work out butts off."
Chase Domer finished third with Ryan Middaugh in fourth.
Andy Bryant of Fort Scott, Kan., started up front and stayed there to grab the Out-Pace USRA B-Mod feature win.
Kris Jackson, who started fifth, finished second with Dan Wheeler third.
Neither was a match for Bryant, who earned the pole position for the feature by going from eighth to first to win his heat race.
