Shane Clanton Takes WoOCLMS DIRTcar Nationals Finale

Zebulon, Georgia (02/23/16) – On Saturday evening at Volusia Speedway Park, Shane Clanton scored his second World of Outlaws Craftsman Late Model Series (WoOCLMS) win of the young season in his Weldbank Energy #25 Capital Race Car/Clements Racing Engine Super Late Model.

The opening rounds of the 45th Annual DIRTcar Nationals at Volusia Speedway Park (Barberville, Florida) found Clanton experiencing a wide range of highs and lows. He registered finishes of 5th, 7th, 6th, and 10th to start the week. However, his luck took a strong turn for the worse on Friday evening as he experienced mechanical issues in his heat race before seeing his entry severely damaged in a multi-car incident in the feature. His night ended with a disappointing, 29th place finish.

Despite his bad luck on Friday in World of Outlaws Craftsman Late Model Series (WoOCLMS) competition, Shane and the team returned with determination on Saturday evening. For the final night of the DIRTcar Nationals, Shane was one of 49 WoOCLMS registered for action. After recording the 6th fastest qualifying time in his group, Clanton cruised to a 10-lap heat race win.

Earning a 5th place starting spot for the finale after the redraw, Clanton ran down race leader, Josh Richards on lap 45 to take the top spot. Holding off Scott Bloomquist’ last-lap charge, Shane Clanton captured his second victory of the 2016 season with Bloomquist, Richards, Brandon Overton, and Jonathan Davenport rounding out the top five. The triumph was worth $10,000.

“It’s amazing the difference a night can make,” said a relieved Clanton in victory lane. “Just last night it seemed like things were about as bad as they could get, and tonight we get the win. It just shows how awesome this entire team is and how there is no quit in any of us.”

He concluded by saying, “I have so many sponsors to thank including Capital Race Cars, Weldbank Energy, Cooper’s Country Meat Packers, Super K Express, VP Racing Fuels, Hoosier Tire, and just everyone that supports my program.”
