    Default Clanton Goes Clean And Green For Senoia, GA ULTIMATE SE Win

    SENOIA, GA – Shane Clanton of Zebulon, GA took the lead on lap two from 15-year-old Zach Leonhardi of Cartersville, GA and then led the rest of the way to pick up the $4,000 top prize in the 40-lap ULTIMATE Super Late Model Series South East Region Main Event on Saturday night at Senoia Raceway.

    Clanton completed the distance in just over 11 caution-free minutes driving the Weldbank Energy/Cooper’s Country Meat Packers/Super K Express Capital Race Car with Clements power. Leonhardi finished second, 8.734 seconds behind Clanton. Leonhardi was also the $200 M&W Transport “Haulin’ It” Fast Qualifier among the 33 entrants with a lap in 16.113 seconds.

    Three-time ULTIMATE SE Champion Casey Roberts of Toccoa, GA started 11th, and without the aid of a caution flag, was the Hard Charger of the Race with a third-place finish. Michael Page of Douglasville, GA took the fourth spot, and fifth went to Jason Welshan of Maryville, TN in the Hidden Hollow Motorsports Special.

    Riley Hickman of Cleveland, TN was sixth and Clint Smith of Senoia, GA came from the 15th starting spot to finish seventh. Tod Darda of LaGrange, GA was eighth, and Austin Horton of Whitesburg, GA drove to a ninth-place finish. T.J. Reaid of Acworth, GA rounded out the top ten.

    In preliminary action, Glenn Morris of Fayetteville, GA was the Group A Fast Qualifier at 16.171 seconds, and Leonhardi was the Group B Fast Qualifier. The two ten-lap B-Main Races were won by Roberts and Ricky Williams of Fayetteville, GA.

    Leonardi took the lead at the start of the race with Clanton coming up from his third starting spot to race the youngster side-by-side for the lead on the opening lap. Clanton took the lead for good on lap two coming off the fourth turn, and never looked back. While Clanton pulled away, there was plenty for the packed house to see, as side-by-side slick track racing was going on behind the leader throughout the field.

    At the end of ten laps, Clanton led Leonhardi, Hickman, Darda, Welshan, Roberts, Page, Morris, Horton and Joey Coulter of Mooresville, NC. Smith had moved his way into the top ten by lap 21, while Clanton had pulled out to a four second lead over Leonhardi. Roberts passed Welshan for the fifth spot on lap 23, and then got by Darda for fourth on lap 25.

    Page got by Darda for the fifth spot on lap 27, as Welshan dropped back into the seventh spot. Welshan regrouped, and re-passed Darda for the sixth position on lap 28. Roberts got around Hickman on lap 29 for claim the third spot, and brought Page with him up into fourth.

    By lap 30, Clanton had pulled out to a 6.8 second advantage over Leonhardi. Welshan drove back into the top five when he got by Hickman on lap 34. With five laps to go, Clanton had an eight second lead over Leonhardi, and if the pit area concession stand had a drive thru, the leader might have stopped for a burger, fries, and a soft drink on his way to the checkered flag.

    The next race for the ULTIMATE Super Late Model Series South East Region will be the 40-lap $4,000-to-win Rome Rumble on Sunday night at the fast half-mile clay oval of Rome Speedway in Rome, GA.
