Kent Robinson Snares North/South Modified Checkers
Bloomington, Indiana (08/13/13) – Kent entered familiar territory over the weekend by competing in the 31st Annual Sunoco North/South 100 at Florence Speedway (Union, Kentucky) in both the Super Late Model and Open Wheel Modified division.
The $50,000-to-win, Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series (LOLMDS) sanctioned event drew a field of 67 entries to the 1/2 mile oval, and Kent began his weekend on Friday night by powering his #7r JB's Salvage/Rocket by Club 29/Jay D ickens Racing Engine Super Late Model to the 13th fastest time in his group, which left him starting 5th in his heat race on Saturday evening. Unfortunately on a hammer-down surface he would slip to an 8th place finish in his heat, which sent him to a b-main. He mounted a charge to a 4th place finish in his b-main, but with only the top two finishers moving onto the feature his night came to an early end.
In the UMP Open Wheel Modified division his luck would prove to be much better in the #85 Jones Oil/Bandit Race Car. A strong field of 40 competitors registered for battle, and Kent raced to his heat race win to earn the pole for the $1,000-to-win finale. As the race went green Tommy Bailey bolted to the lead, and Robinson stalked him until lap 6, when he shot to the lead. Once out front Robinson never looked back on his way to the victory, which came over Bailey, Derek Groomer, Ted Nobbe, and Jeff Babock.
Full results from the event are available at www.LucasDirt.com and www.FlorenceSpeedway.com.
While Saturday's plans for this weekend are still up in the air, Kent plans to enter an UMP Open Wheel Modified event at Bloomington Speedway (Bloomington, Indiana) on Friday evening. For more information on the event please visit www.BloomingtonSpeedway.com .
