Elliott, Estes, Eaton claim A-Z Billboard Night victories at I-35 Speedway

WINSTON, Mo.--With a smooth track, a good field of competitors and a great crowd in attendance, it was a race to be remembered in the USRA B-Mods with side-by-side racing throughout the entire field for the duration of the feature. Tim Eaton #211 would race from a twelfth starting position passing all competitors to stand tall in victory lane. Eaton and second place finisher Shadren Turner #17t would race wheel to wheel passing third place finisher and one time leader Donnie Miller #86 and take the checkers with mere inches separating the cars. Two veterans of the B-Mod class David Bouzek #75 and Chris Wright #20x would mount a late race charge and finish fourth and fifth with Bouzek edging Wright at the line. Heat race winners were Ramon Ortega #17r and Dustin Miller #52m.

Not to be outdone, the USRA Stock Car class continues to race caution free. With exciting two wide racing, Dean Wray would take the early lead by using the high line to set the blistering pace. Wray would slip high on the exit of turn four allowing Jason Estes #99.7 to fly by and capture win number one of the 2015 racing season. Heat race winner Estes would have to hold off the always fast #88 of Jeff Dixon who placed second. Early leader Wray #77 would slip to third with Thomas Roberts #65x fourth. Jon Boller Jr #20x would be in the mix for the lead the whole race only to be forced to finish fifth.

Fire breathing, high flying, alcohol drinking, USRA Modifieds were the last to take to the track on A-Z Billboard night at the races at I-35 Speedway and would not disappoint. Heat race winner Dennis Elliot would start outside row one with other heat race winner Darren Shaw starting on the inside. When the green flag was dropped, Elliott and Shaw would race side by side for fourteen laps with neither gaining a clear advantage while never touching the other driver. A late race caution would be the deciding factor as Dennis Elliott #29 would see the checkers first, notching win number two this season. Shaw #11 would challenge every turn of every lap but could not find a way around Elliott and be forced to finish second. Steven Glenn #26s would again prove consistency racing his way to place third. Newcomer to the track this 2015 racing season Nick Shenberger #22 would show he is among the front runners racing through the pack and notching a solid fourth place finish. Current point leader Ryan Schaffer #R21 would round out the top five.

I-35 Speedway would like to thank our great driver and fans alike for yet another stellar night of racing action. We invite everyone back next week on Larry McFee Trucking Night at the Races for more “Dirt Tracking at its Best.” See You There!
