Chase Junghans Banks First-Career Lucas Oil MLRA Triumph
Trip to Tri City Speedway for LOLMDS Competition Up Next

Manhattan, Kansas (04/22/19) – Chase Junghans picked up his first victory of 2019 in convincing fashion on Friday night at Davenport Speedway in his Shop Quik Convenience Stores #18 Bozard Ford Lincoln/XR1 Rocket Chassis/ Clements Racing Engine Super Late Model.

Not only was the win his first of the season, but the $5,000 windfall also marked his first-career triumph with the Lucas Oil Midwest Late Model Racing Association (MLRA).

"We have been working hard on our program. We got our butts kicked a couple weeks ago at Farmer City, so my guys have been working really hard at the shop. I just can't thank them guys enough,” Junghans noted. “It definitely feels good to get the first win of the year, hopefully we can start ticking them off. This win is dedicated to everyone who supports our race team.”

Friday night found Chase Junghans in action at Davenport Speedway (Davenport, Iowa), where he was competing in a field of 26 Lucas Oil Midwest Late Model Racing Association (MLRA) entries. Chase started his night by setting fast time in qualifications and backed it up with heat race victory to earn the pole position for the opening night feature.

Leading flag-to-flag in the 30 lapper, Chase Junghans cruised to his first win of the season topping Hudson O’Neal, Jordan Yaggy, Chad Simpson, and Chris Simpson. He earned a $5,000 payday for his first-career Lucas Oil MLRA triumph.

The following night at 34 Raceway (West Burlington, Iowa), the team entered the 11th annual Slocum 50. With 37 entries on hand for the memorial event, Junghans secured his spot into the $10,555-to-win finale with a sixth-place finish in his heat. Starting the finale in the 19th position, Chase passed ten cars in the 50-lapper to advance to a ninth-place finish.
