Earl Pearson Jr. Races to Fifth Win of 2018 with Brown County Triumph
Black Diamond Race Team Adds Top-5 Finish in Silver Dollar Nationals
Shreveport, Louisiana (07/24/18) – Earl Pearson Jr. took the Black Diamond Racecars House Car/ Lucas Oil #1 P&W Sales/ Clements Racing Engine Super Late Model into battle in four Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series events last weekend.
He enjoyed a strong week of racing, which included a $10,000 victory at Brown County Speedway and a Top-5 finish in the 8th annual Imperial Tile Silver Dollar Nationals. The victory was his fifth of the 2018 season.
“We started things with a real good run on Tuesday at Brown County Speedway, where we were able to get to the lead late and grab that win,” Pearson Jr. noted. “We battled the handle in Wednesday and Thursday’s shows, but we had a really good car for Friday and Saturday at the Silver Dollar Nationals. I can’t say enough about this team. They’ve been busting their tails nonstop. It’s going to be nice to have a few weeks off for us all to catch our breath before we get ready for another busy stretch of racing.”
On Tuesday night Earl Pearson Jr. returned to action with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series (LOLMDS) at Brown County Speedway (Aberdeen, South Dakota) for the Bullet Sportswear Shootout. Drawing 24 Super Late Models, Pearson Jr. jumped one spot in his 10-lap heat race, scoring a third-place finish.
Earning the eighth-starting position for the A-Main, Earl navigated his way through the field early setting his eyes on race-leader Bobby Pierce by lap-40. With a side-by-side duel raging for the next ten laps, Pearson Jr. overtook Pierce for good on lap-48 en route to his fourth win of the season and a $10,000 payday. Josh Richards, Pierce, Ricky Weiss, and Don O’Neal completed the Top-5 finishers in the 50-lap affair.
The following night at Jackson Motorplex (Jackson, Minnesota) for the Sturdevant’s Auto Parts 50, Earl locked his spot into the $10,000-to-win A-Main with a fourth-place finish in his heat. Starting in 11th, Pearson Jr. gained one spot to place 10th.
Thursday night brought 43 LOLMDS entries to I-80 Speedway (Greenwood, Nebraska) for the Malvern Bank Go 50. Coming one spot shy of a transfer position in his heat with a fifth-place finish, Earl logged a fifth-place finish in his B-Main forcing him to rely on a series provisional to start the main event. Starting in 23rd, Pearson Jr. passed seven cars in the 50-lapper to register a 16th-place outing.
Returning on Friday evening for two rounds of heat races, Pearson Jr. passed three cars in his first heat, reeling in a runner-up finish behind Hudson O’Neal. Starting in the sixth position in his second heat, Earl jumped up three spots to place third.
Earning the sixth-starting position for the $53,000-to-win A-Main on Saturday night, Earl Pearson Jr. gained one spot in the 100-lap affair, notching a fifth-place finish behind Jonathan Davenport, Ricky Weiss, Jimmy Owens, and Hudson O’Neal.
Earl currently sits fourth in the latest Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series (LOLMDS) point standings. For more results from these events as well as complete standings, please visit www.LucasDirt.com .
The team will enjoy a two-week break before returning to action with four nights of racing with the LOLMDS at Florence Speedway (Union, Kentucky) on August 8-11. Action opens with the $12,000-to-win Ralph Latham Memorial on Wednesday, August 8, while the $10,000-to-win, North/South Shootout will be held on Thursday.
