Shane Clanton Races to Victory in Prairie Dirt Classic Prelim
Climbs to Third in Latest WoO Series Standings
Zebulon, Georgia (7/30/19) – Shane Clanton continued his recent momentum in his Skyline Motorsports No. 25 Bennett Explosives/ Super K Express/ Capital Race Car/ Clements Racing Engine with a World of Outlaws Morton Buildings Late Model Series prelim win on Friday night during the Prairie Dirt Classic at Fairbury Speedway.
“We’ve still got some work to do, but we’ve come a long way with this team over the past month,” Clanton noted. “We had a great car on Friday night at Fairbury and got the win. On Saturday night, we were just a tick off on the setup, and with as tough as the competition is, that’s all it takes to put you behind.
“We’ve got a really busy week in front of us with some big money on the line, and I’m confident that we can be a contender in every event.”
A busy week of racing for Clanton kicked off on Wednesday night as 25 World of Outlaws Morton Buildings Late Model Series competitors invaded Davenport Speedway (Davenport, Iowa) to do battle for the $10,000 top prize. Shane scored a third-place finish in his heat race, which locked him into the opening night feature. Breaking into the Top-5, Shane improved three spots to place fourth behind Jimmy Owens, Brandon Sheppard, and Cade Dillard.
On Friday night Clanton followed the World of Outlaws to Fairbury Speedway (Fairbury, Illinois) for the opening round of the 30th annual Prairie Dirt Classic. With a stout field of 72 entries on hand for a round of preliminary features, Clanton earned the sixth starting spot for his prelim. He went on to wheel his way to the front of the field, capturing his fifth win of the season and a $2,500 payday. Billy Drake, Ricky Weiss, Kent Robinson, and Ashton Winger trailed him to the checkers in the 25-lapper.
Shane’s Friday night performance earned him a spot in Saturday night’s redraw for the 100-lap finale, where he received the pole position. Clanton ran in the Top 5 for much of the $30,000-to-win finale before ultimately registering a sixth-place finish.
Clanton continued his ultra-busy stretch on Monday night with a trip to Plymouth Speedway (Plymouth, Wisconsin). With a $10,000 winner’s check on the line, Clanton notched a seventh-place finish.
Shane has now climbed to third in the latest World of Outlaws point standings. Full results from the weekend are available at www.WoOLMS.com .
Shane’s chaotic schedule continues this week with four nights of racing in five days. On Tuesday night a $10,000-to-win event is scheduled for Shawano Speedway (Shawano, Wisconsin). After a scheduled, off-day on Wednesday the action kicks back into high gear on Thursday as the 32 annual USA Nationals comes to life. Thursday’s program is headlined by a $6,000-to-win, WoO race, while Friday and Saturday will feature the $50,000-to-win, crown jewel finale.
All of this week’s events will be broadcast live on pay-per-view at www.DirtOnDirt.com .
