Elliott, Wray, Isaacs winners on Malvern Bank Night at I-35 Speedway
Ethan Isaacs won the Out-Pace USRA B-Mod feature.
Malvern Bank Night was full of great racing at the I-35 Speedway in Winston, Mo., on Saturday.
Out-Pace USRA B-Mods gave us a glimpse of what the USRA Nationals will hold as they raced side-by-side and wheel-to-wheel and never see the caution on this night of great racing action. Heat winner Ed Noll took the lead early on the high side of the speedway only to see Ethan Isaacs move past on the inside claiming the lead. Noll searched high and low for a way past Isaacs but was forced to a second-place finish as Isaacs found his groove and parked his No. 66 in McCarthy Auto Group Winners Circle. The other heat winner, Bud Wilson, placed a solid third on the night with Eddie Schwope Jr. fourth and Shadren Turner racing through traffic to place fifth.
Holley USRA Stock Cars saw two fierce competitors go door-to-door, high side versus low side to the checkers. Dean Wray worked the low line taking the lead as Mich Ross worked the high line as the race got underway. Jason Estes worked past Ross, setting his sights on Wray and took the lead using the extreme high line. Estes continued to lead until the closing laps as Wray started cutting the corners working the inside of the track. As the two came to the checkers side-by-side, Wray was declared the winner at the line with Estes second. Ross placed third with Jon Boller Jr. fourth and Gene Stigall finishing fifth.
Dean Wray won the Holley USRA Stock Car feature.
The USRA Modifieds saw the field of competitors battling to the finish going green to checkered in their feature event. Dennis Elliott used the high line early to set the pace with heat winner Jared Stiens on the low side challenging every lap. Elliott pulled ahead in the latter stages of the race and stood in McCarthy Auto Group Winners Circle with the checkered flag raised high. Stiens placed a close second with the other heat winner, Austin Johnson, in the mix for the win placing third on the night. Fourth witnessed Derrick Hicks hold off Billie Hoover.
Dennis Elliott won the USRA Modified feature.
See everyone next week for Kids Night at I-35 Speedway where there is always more “Dirt Trackin' at its Best.”
