Wray, Bryant bag USRA Holley Iron Man Series checkers at I-35 Speedway
Dean Wray topped the USRA Stock Car main event on Sunday, March 22, at the I-35 Speedway in Winston, Mo.
WINSTON, Mo.—Round 2 of the Holley Iron Man Series took place at the I-35 Speedway in Winston, Mo., Sunday, with Dean Wray (USRA Stock Cars) and Andy Bryant (USRA B-Mods) taking the top prizes home.
In the USRA Stock Car main event, Todd Staley drew the pole and led the first half of the 20-lap feature but Wray, who started fourth, took command on lap 11.
Jeff Dixon also got by the USMTS/USRA boss and chased Wray to the checkered flag but came up a little more than a bumper short of the win as Wray pocketed the $750 winner’s share of the prize money.
Staley held on for third ahead of two-time USRA Stock National Champion Tom Schmitt and Thomas Roberts.
Defending USRA B-Mod National Champion Chad Clancy assumed control of the USRA B-Mod main event at the start, and looked to be on his way to an early-season win.
But Andy Bryant, who started ninth on the grid, reeled in Clancy and took the lead away with five laps to go.
Bryant held on to pocket the $600 paycheck while Clancy fended off defending Holley Iron Man Series champ Cory Crapser for second. Tim Eaton and Jenae Gustin rounded out the top 5.
Andy Bryant won the USRA B-Mod main event on Sunday, March 22, at the I-35 Speedway in Winston, Mo.
Next week, the USRA B-Mods will share the spotlight with the USMTS Modifieds as the nation’s best open-wheel dirt modified racers descend upon the Humboldt Speedway in Humboldt, Kan., for the King of America V presented by Chix Gear on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, March 26-28.
Last month, the USMTS forged an agreement with MAVTV to televise five events that will be tape-delayed broadcast on the growing cable network. The series of shows will begin with the upcoming King of America V presented by Chix Gear and bring the USRA and USMTS competitors to a national television audience while also giving series sponsors and those of the drivers some invaluable exposure.
The Holley Iron Man Series featuring USRA B-Mods will run a complete show of heat races and main events all three days. Thursday’s winners gets $500, Friday’s winner gets $2,000 and Saturday’s winner goes home with $1,000.
