Clancy captures Iron Man glory at Valley Speedway


GRAIN VALLEY, Mo.—The ninth win of the 2014 season for USRA B-Mod national points leader Chad Clancy of Smithville, Mo., was a big one as he led all 20 laps of Wednesday night’s Iron Man Challenge main event at the Valley Speedway.

Clancy started on the outside of the front row and took charge immediately, racing out to an eight-car-length advantage early on before a pair of mid-race cautions kept the field within striking distance.

But he was flawless on every restart and paced polesitter Andy Bryant all the way to the checkered flag and a $600 payday.

Iron Man points leader Dan Wheeler made the long tow from Savage, Minn., pay off with a third-place finish with Dean Wille taking fourth and Cody Brill coming from tenth to finish fifth.

Chad Staus, Randal Schiffelbein Jr., Jared Timmerman, Brad Smith and Matt Herring rounded out the top 10.

Both the USRA Stock Cars and USRA B-Mods will be on the ticket when the Iron Man Challenge returns to the dirt on Thursday, July 3, at the Upper Iowa Speedway in Decorah, Iowa.
