Kent Robinson Tackles Farmer City for First Win of 2017

Bloomington, Indiana (04/23/17) – Kent Robinson topped a talented field of competitors on Friday night at Farmer City Raceway to park his Billy Moyer Victory Race Car #7r JB’s Salvage/ Jay D ickens Racing Engine Super Late Model in Victory Lane for the first time in 2017.

“We thought we would slide over to Farmer City and turn some laps to get ready for the upcoming Farmer City 74, and from the looks of the field we weren’t the only ones,” laughed Robinson. “There was some really stout drivers there so to get the win was pretty awesome. I hate that we had to scratch early at Fairbury the next night, but sometimes it just goes that way.”

With 22 entries on hand for the Weekly Racing Series Event at Farmer City Raceway (Farmer City, Illinois) on Friday evening, Kent laid down the fastest time in qualifying to lock into the pole position for the feature. He was joined on the front row by Dirt Late Model Hall of Famer, Billy Moyer. Robinson would grab the lead at the drop of the green flag. Despite strong advances from Moyer and 3rd-running Jason Feger, Kent would keep the field at bay as he raced to his first win of 2017. Moyer, Feger, McKay Wenger, and Kevin Weaver completed the Top-5 finishers.

The next night Kent was set to compete in the season opener at Fairbury American Legion Speedway. Unfortunately, the team discovered mechanical issues shortly before the start of the program, and as a result the Indiana driver was forced to scratch from the event.

Kent now turns his attention to a busy upcoming weekend. On Friday night he will compete in his Modified in the annual JB Robinson Memorial at Bloomington Speedway (Bloomington, Indiana). The event is very near and dear to Robinson’s heart because it pays homage to his late father. Kent is a former winner of the event.

On Saturday evening the action moves to Brownstown Speedway (Brownstown, Indiana), where Robinson will tackle a $3,000-to-win event with the MARS East Super Late Model tour.
