Tony Jackson Jr. Lands in Legit Speedway Park Victory Lane
Lucas Oil MLRA Triple Header Up Next
Lebanon, Missouri (05/01/18) – For the first time in 2018 Tony Jackson Jr. took his Merrill Self Storage #56 Carget Motors/ Longhorn by Weaver/ Cornett Racing Engine Super Late Model to Victory Lane on Saturday night.
The win was worth $3,000 and came at Legit Speedway Park in an event that was co-sanctioned by the Lucas Oil Midwest Late Model Racing Association (MLRA) and the COMP Cams Super Dirt Series (CCSDS) Super Late Model.
“We started the season a little slower than we would’ve liked, but the past few weeks we’ve found some speed, and it finally paid off on Saturday night,†Tony Jackson Jr. commented. “Jack (Sullivan) was really good there early, and I just bided my time and was able to capitalize in lapped traffic. Hopefully we can carry this momentum into the upcoming weekend and make up some ground in the Lucas Oil MLRA point’s chase.â€
Friday night found Tony Jackson Jr. in action at Thunderbird Speedway (Muskogee, Oklahoma) for the Lucas Oil MLRA sanctioned event. Drawing 21 entries, Jackson Jr. locked his spot into the A-Main with a third-place finish in his 8-lap heat race.
Starting seventh on the grid for the feature, Tony gained three positions to place fourth behind Jesse Stovall, Chad Simpson, and Payton Looney with Will Vaught rounding out the Top 5.
The following night at Legit Speedway Park (West Plains, Missouri) – in an event that was co-sanctioned with the COMP Cams Super Dirt Series – Tony streaked to a heat race victory, positioning him on the pole for the feature.
After losing the lead early, Jackson Jr. overtook Jack Sullivan on lap 17 in lapped traffic and held the top spot for the ensuing 23 circuits en route to his first win of the season and a $3,000 payday.
Austin Rettig, Jesse Stovall, Scott Crigler, and Chad Simpson completed the Top-5 finishers in the 40-lap affair.
Full results from the weekend are available at www.MLRARacing.com .
The upcoming weekend – May 3-5 – has Tony Jackson Jr. slated to enter a trio of Lucas Oil MLRA Late Model events in Iowa and Illinois. Action opens on Thursday at Lee County Speedway (Donnellson, Iowa) before moving to Davenport Speedway (Davenport, Iowa) on Friday night. The weekend draws to a close on Saturday night at LaSalle Speedway (La Salle, Illinois).
Tony is currently second in the latest series standings.
