Chase Junghans Registers Runner-Up Finish in Billy Clanton Classic

Manhattan, Kansas (05/17/16) – Chase Junghans powered his #18 Shop Quik Racing/Capital/Jay D ickens Racing Engine Super Late Model to a runner-up finish in the annual Billy Clanton Classic at Senoia Raceway on Saturday evening.

With the World of Outlaws Craftsman Late Model Series having an off weekend, Chase Junghans traveled to Senoia Raceway (Senoia, Georgia) on Saturday night for the Southern All Star (SAS) Series sanctioned, Billy Clanton Classic. Competing in a field of 26-entries, Junghans was in contention for the lead late in the A-Main. Making the pass for the 2nd-position with 5-laps to go, Chase ultimately registered a runner-up finish behind Shane Clanton with Riley Hickman, Richie Stephens, and Frank Heckenast Jr. rounding out the top five.

“I was closing in on (Riley) Hickman for the lead and was trying to find the best line, and then Shane (Clanton) snuck past both of us,” commented Junghans. “I wanted the win, but I’ll take a second-place run. This car was really good tonight, and the track was phenomenal. I really had a blast out there.”
