Shane Clanton Conquers Quincy; Another Busy Week Ahead
Zebulon, Georgia (08/01/16) – Shane Clanton pushed his 2016-win tally to eight behind the wheel of his Weldbank Energy #25 Super K Express/ Capital Race Car/ Clements Racing Engine Super Late Model during the course of last weekend’s action. His latest victory came on Thursday night at Quincy Raceways with the World of Outlaws Craftsman Late Model Series.
“We had a really good car all night there at Quincy, and it really came to life the second half of the race,” said Clanton. “It was a bit of redemption to win this race because last year we had it won until a lapped car got us with just a couple of laps remaining.”
Returning with the World of Outlaws Craftsman Late Model Series, Shane Clanton visited Quincy Raceway (Quincy, Illinois) on Thursday night for the Workforce 40. Following a runner-up finish in his heat behind Bobby Pierce, Clanton earned the pole position for the feature. After losing the lead early, Shane outdueled Brian Shirley to pick up his eighth win of the season with Rick Eckert, Shirley, Bobby Pierce, and Steve Casebolt rounding out the Top 5. Clanton claimed a $8,000 payday for his triumph in the 40-lap A-Main.
Friday night brought the WoO followers to Fairbury American Legion Speedway (Fairbury, Illinois) for the two-day 27th Annual Prairie Dirt Classic. After failing to make the call for time trials due to mechanical issues, Shane stormed from the tail of the field to capture a heat race win. Later that night he also competed in the unsanctioned FALS Draw. He received the 9th starting spot for the 25-lap, $5,000-to-win affair. He would be collected in an early-race melee before rebounding to finish 12th.
Via his heat race win on Friday evening, Shane started 5th in the World of Outlaws Craftsman Late Model Series sanctioned $27,000-to-win feature on Saturday night. Moving into a battle for the lead by lap 50, Clanton went on to record a podium finish in the 100-lapper, notching a 3rd place finish behind Josh Richards and Dennis Erb Jr. Don O’Neal and Shannon Babb rounded out the Top 5.
Shane is currently second in the WoO points standings. Full results are available at www.WoOLMS.com .
WoO Craftsman Late Model Series action resumes for Clanton on Tuesday night with an $8,000-to-win affair at the ˝-mile confines of Shawano Speedway (Shawano, Wisconsin). From there the action shifts west to Cedar Lake Speedway (New Richmond, Wisconsin) for the 29th Annual USA Nationals. On Thursday evening a $6,000-to-win program will be contested. Friday evening will play host to preliminary competition, while Saturday night will be headlined by the $50,000-to-win finale. For more information on the events, please visit www.WoOLMS.com .
