Chris Ferguson Wins Fourth Jack Starrette Memorial
Show Me 100 at Lucas Oil Speedway Up Next

Mt. Holly, North Carolina (05/20/19) – Saturday night at South Carolina’s Modoc Raceway found Chris Ferguson streaking to the fourth Jack Starrette Memorial triumph of his career. He picked up a $5,022 payday for his efforts in his Diff-Tran Machining #22 K and K Trucking/ Sweet-Bloomquist Race Car/ Clements Racing Engine Super Late Model.

The victory was his second of the 2019 campaign.

“Even with the bad luck of having a flat tire while leading on Friday night at Carolina Speedway, this was the kind of weekend that our team needed,” Ferguson commented. “We had a great car all weekend, and then to win the race in memory of Jack [Starrette] for the fourth time just means so much. He was a guy that gave me a great opportunity early in my career, and he’ll always have a special place in my heart.

“Now, we are gearing up to head out to the Show Me 100 for the first time. This is something we’ve been wanting to do for several years, and this will be a nice measuring stick of where we are at with our program right now.”

Friday night found Chris Ferguson in action at Carolina Speedway (Gastonia, North Carolina), where he was competing in a field of 25 Carolina Clash Super Late Model Series entries. Laying down the fastest time in qualifying, Ferguson locked into the pole position for the opening night feature.

After jumping out to a comfortable lead, Chris suffered a flat right-rear tire on lap-14 that sent him into the hot pit. Joining the field from the tail, Chris Ferguson wheeled his way back to a runner-up finish behind Trent Ivey with Dennis Franklin, Daulton Wilson, and Brett Hamm rounding out the Top-5.

The following night took the team to Modoc Raceway (Modoc, South Carolina) for the Ultimate Southeast Series sanctioned, Jack Starrette Memorial. Via preliminary action Chris earned the 10th-starting spot for the 50-lap feature.

Despite starting deep in the pack Ferguson progressively worked his way forward in the field before slipping past Johnny Pursley on lap-37 for the top spot. He went on to lead the remainder of the 50 lapper to register his second win of the season. Casey Roberts, Dennis Franklin, and Ben Watkins completed the Top-5 finishers. He pocketed a $5,022 payday for his performance.

This weekend – May 23-25 – will see the team heading west to Lucas Oil Speedway (Wheatland, Missouri), where he’ll enter the 27th annual Lucas Oil Show Me 100. A pair of $6,000-to-win events are scheduled for Thursday and Friday night, while Saturday’s program is headlined by a $30,000-to-win finale.

The weekend is sanctioned by the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series and Lucas Oil Midwest Late Model Racing Association.
