Chris Ferguson Pulls the Hat Trick in the Jack Starrette Memorial

Mt. Holly, North Carolina (04/17/17) – For the third-straight year Chris Ferguson emerged victorious in the Jack Starrette Memorial in his Live Oak Aesthetic and Family Dentistry #22 Diff-Tran Machining/ Rocket Chassis XR1/ Clements Racing Engine Super Late Model. He received $5,022 for his efforts.

“This is awesome,” Ferguson said. “We got another one for Jack [Starrette]. If it wasn’t for him I wouldn’t be here today. He’s the one who brought me to Super Late Model racing.”

Back in action with the ULTIMATE Super Late Model Series, Chris Ferguson traveled to Modoc Raceway (Modoc, South Carolina) on Saturday night for the annual Jack Starrette Memorial. A field of 20 assembled for the event, which honored the late National Dirt Late Model Hall of Fame member.

Chris timed in second fastest overall in qualifying, putting him on the front row for the feature. Working his way into the lead by lap 18, Ferguson held field at bay for the remaining 32 circuits to capture his first victory of the season and a $5,022 payday. Jonathan Davenport, Casey Roberts, Brent Dixon, and Dennis Franklin completed the Top-5 finishers.

“I hated to see Brett [Hamm] have bad luck there early in the feature, but it sure is nice to score our first win of the season,” Ferguson said. “We’ve been really fast, but luck hasn’t been on our side. Hopefully that’s all changing now.”

Full results from the event are available at www.UltimateSupers.com .

Chris will enjoy a weekend away from racing this week as he prepares for the $10,000-to-win, ULTIMATE event at Dublin Motor Speedway (Dublin, North Carolina) on April 28-29.
