Gillmore grabs USRA B-Mod win, Beck all the way in USRA Stock Cars at Lucas Oil Speedway
Ryan Gillmore won the USRA B-Mod main event.
Ryan Gillmore led all 20 laps to capture the Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mod feature win, outdistancing Kyle Slader and Kris Jackson.
"The car was lights out," Gillmore said, noting that he was unsure how it would take to a track reworked during intermission. "The car was perfect. I about messed it up on my own that first lap, but got my compsoure together and made it work."
Gillmore started outside of Jackson on the front row and won the race for the lead as the green flag flew. He built a 2.1-second led by lap eight when a caution slowed the action and erased Gillmore’s comfortable margin.
"I was expecting at any moment for Chris to find something on the bottom," Gillmore said. "I moved to the top on the restart and kept my eyes peeled to know if I had to play defensive or not. I was watching the board and and I knew when (the camera operator) wasn't looking at just me, that was a good thing."
Slader drove around Jackson two laps after the restart but could not keep up with the leader. Gillmore’s lead was back to 1.3 seconds through lap 15 and he went out to drive away to finish 1.9 seconds clear of Slader.
Jackson, the season points leader with Gillmore not far behind, finished third with Brian Bolin fourth and Jon Sheets came home in fifth.
Beck leads all the way for USRA Stock Car win: Mason Beck never looked back, leading all the way to capture the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars feature.
It was Beck's first official victory of the season after his apparent recent win was wiped out after a disqualification in post-race tech.
"I was dang sure gonna win it tonight," Beck said in victory lane.
Beck led from the start and was 0.711 second in front of Jaylen Wettengel when the first caution flew on lap eight. Dean Wille moved around Wettengel and into second on the restart as Beck continued to lead.
Hendrix joined the top three by lap 15, but no one was a match for Beck as the Urbana driver pulled away over the final laps to win by two seconds over Robert White, who beat Wille by a couple of free for the runner-up spot.
"I knew I had some heavy hitters behind me," Beck said. "I saw Dean Wille and knew he was starting behind me. I was watching for David Hendrix to show his nose on the top, but I guess he never got to it."
Hendrix wound up fourth and Wettengel finished fifth.
