Chris Ferguson Lands First LOLMDS Victory
Mt. Holly, North Carolina (07/11/17) – After several years of coming painfully close to landing his first Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series (LOLMDS) victory, Chris Ferguson finally got over the hump on Thursday night at Fayetteville Motor Speedway. The popular $10,000 victory came aboard his Diff-Tran Machining #22 K&K Trucking/ Rocket Chassis XR1/ Clements Racing Engine Super Late Model.
“This is awesome,†said Ferguson. “It’s taken a lot to win one of these (Lucas Oil shows). I’ve had so many chances and none go my way, especially like in ’09 when we sat on the pole here at Fayetteville and ran second or third.
“This is redemption for all the races I’ve lost here at Fayetteville. I’ve lost a lot more leading than I have won.â€
Making his first start of the season with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series, Chris Ferguson visited Fayetteville Motor Speedway (Fayetteville, North Carolina) on Thursday night for the Wayne Gray Memorial. After timing in fastest overall in a field of 25 cars, Ferguson cruised to a 10-lap, heat race win locking him into the pole position for the feature.
Jumping into the lead at the drop of the green flag, Chris held control of the top spot for the entire distance of the 50-lap A-Main, picking up his third win of the season and first-career Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series victory. Pocketing a $10,000 payday, Chris Ferguson topped Gregg Satterlee, G.R. Smith, Josh Richards, and Steve Francis at the finish line.
The following night with 29 LOLMDS competitors signed in at Cherokee Speedway (Gaffney, South Carolina) for the 19th annual Grassy Smith Memorial, Chris started the night off again with a 10-lap heat race win, locking him into the 3rd-starting position for the feature. With $10,000 on the line, Ferguson brought out a caution on lap-19, when mechanical gremlins struck while running in the 3rd position. His night would come to an early end in the 19th-position.

Chris has his sights set on another $10,000 payday this Saturday as he makes the trek to Wythe Raceway (Rural Retreat, Virginia) to compete with the Schaeffer’s Oil Southern Nationals. For more information on the event, please visit www.SouthernNationalsSeries.com .
