Shane Clanton Wins at Lernerville; Focused on Second World 100 Title

Zebulon, Georgia (09/08/15) –Shane Clanton visited late in World of Outlaws Late Model Series action for the tenth time in 2015 on Friday night with a $10,000 triumph at Lernerville Speedway in his Weldbank Energy #25 Capital/Clements Racing Engine Super Late Model.

Shane Clanton returned to action on Friday night by making the trip to Lernerville Speedway (Sarver, Pennsylvania) for the World of Outlaws Late Models Series (WoO) sanctioned, 2nd Annual Working Man 50. In a field of forty-two Super Late Models Shane scored a 2nd place finish in his heat to Chub Frank to earn a spot in the feature redraw. Moments after receiving the pole position in the redraw, Shane dominated the field, cruising to his fourteenth victory on the season with Josh Richards, Frank Heckenast Jr., Davey Johnson, and Rick Eckert trailing him to the finish line.

On Saturday night thirty-nine entries signed in at Lernerville Speedway for the 9th Annual Firecracker 100, which was rescheduled from June due to rain. Capturing a 10-lap heat race victory, Shane Clanton transferred into the 100-lap affair with a 7th place starting position. Improving five spots in the feature event paying $30,000 to the winner, Clanton scored a runner-up finish to Rick Eckert with Jared Miley, Chase Junghans, and Josh Richards rounding out the top five.

Wrapping up the busy Labor Day weekend, Shane headed to Selinsgrove Speedway (Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania) for the WoO sanctioned, 17th Annual Jeff’s Auto Body National Open. With a stout field of thirty-nine cars signed in for the feature event, paying $8,000 to the winner, Clanton cruised to heat race victory giving him an 8th place starting position for the feature. Marching up to the front, Clanton advanced six spots in the 40-lapper scoring runner-up finish to Darrell Lanigan with Chase Junghans, Morgan Bagley, and Josh Richards completing the top five.

“Obviously I would’ve like to have won all three races this weekend, but it was a really great weekend for our team,” said Clanton. “I want to thank Weldbank Energy, Hornburg Oil, Penn Gold Well Services, VP Racing Fuels, Clements Racing Engines, Capital Race Cars, and all of my great sponsors for their support. Hopefully, now I can go and win my second World 100 next weekend at Eldora."
