Marrant, Bryant seize McCarthy Auto Group Show Me Spectacular wins at I-35 Speedway
Andy Bryant (28) battles with Doug Keller (7) during the Out-Pace USRA B-Mod main event.
WINSTON, Mo.—During Saturday's McCarthy Auto Group Show Me Spectacular at the I-35 Speedway, fans saw features of the highest quality as drivers raced three and four wide for the wins.
Out-Pace USRA B-Mod heat race winner Ed Noll and Doug Keller raced side by side for the lead in the main event with Noll getting the advantage only to see Randy Ainsworth challenge for the top spot.
Other heat race winner Andy Bryant was also in the mix as you could throw a blanket over the top four contenders. First Noll would lead, and then Ainsworth, and then Keller, but the last lap that counted for the win saw Bryant move to the inside and pick up the feature win.
Noll placed second, Ainsworth third, Keller fourth and Kaden Miller fifth in his first appearance at I-35 Speedway.
Andy Bryant won the Out-Pace USRA B-Mod feature.
With a locked and loaded field, the high-flying, fire-breathing USRA Modifieds roared to the fast smooth 3/8-mile track. As the green flag was displayed to the field, heat race winner Aaron Marrant charged to the front with other heat race winner Zach Sanders right on his heels.
Marrant continued to lead until Sanders put the slide job on him and took the lead as caution would come onto the track. On the restart Marrant powered by Sanders on the high side and charged to McCarthy Auto Group Winners Circle claiming his fourth win at I-35 Speedway this 2016 racing season.
Sanders challenged to the checkers but had to settle for second. Darren Shaw was the big mover of the race as he came through the field of fast competitors to place third with Kevin Blackburn fourth. Current I-35 Speedway points leader Dennis Elliott rounded out the night's top five.
Aaron Marrant won the USRA Modified feature.
I-35 Speedway would like to thank all our fans and drivers for another great McCarthy Auto Group Show Me Spectacular. See everyone in two weeks as we will not race Oct. 15 but will return to action Oct. 22.
