Tony Jackson Jr. Triumphs at Tri State Speedway
Three-Race Weekend on Tap
Lebanon, Missouri (07/03/18) – Tony Jackson Jr. piloted his Merrill Self Storage #56 Carget Motors/ Longhorn by Weaver/ Cornett Racing Engine Super Late Model to his second win of 2018 on Thursday night at Oklahoma’s Tri-State Speedway.
The $3,000 win saw Jackson Jr. having to fend off advances from a hard-charging Jesse Stovall.
“Lapped traffic got pretty tricky, and Jesse (Stovall) was able to slip past for a lap there, but luckily I was able to get back to the lead,†Jackson Jr. said. “It was a fun race though, and it was great to get our second win of the year. The rest of the weekend didn’t go as well as we had hoped, but it still wasn’t terrible. We’ve got another busy weekend of racing coming up, so hopefully we can continue to build on what we learned last weekend.â€
Tony Jackson Jr. invaded Tri-State Speedway (Pocola, Oklahoma) on Thursday night as a triple header weekend with the COMP Cams Super Dirt Series (CCSDS) came to life.
With 19 Super Late Models registered for action, Jackson Jr. locked his spot into the opening night feature with a heat race victory. Slipping past Jesse Stovall for the lead on lap-6, Tony held the top spot for 12 circuits until Stovall took advantage of Jackson Jr. bobbling in lapped traffic on lap-29.
Blasting past Stovall the next lap, Tony Jackson Jr. retook the lead and paced the field for the final ten circuits to capture his second win of the season. Cade Dillard, Stovall, Will Vaught, and Jack Sullivan completed the Top-5 finishers. He was awarded a $3,000 payday for his performance in the 40-lap affair.
On Friday night the team invaded Salina Highbanks Speedway (Pryor Creek, Oklahoma) to compete in the opening round of the co-sanctioned ARMI Freedom Classic, which was co-sanctioned by the CCSDS and Lucas Oil Midwest Late Model Racing Association (MLRA).
Jackson Jr. recorded a fifth-place finish in his heat race, which relegated him to the B-Main. Needing to place in the Top-5 to transfer, Tony was battling for the lead when he made hard contact with the turn-four wall, ending his B-Main. Using a provisional and a borrowed car for the feature, Jackson Jr. advanced through the field 13 spots on his way to an 11th-place finish.
Returning on Saturday for the second round of the ARMI Freedom Classic, Jackson Jr. secured his spot into the $5,000-to-win finale with a third-place finish in his heat race. Starting sixth on the feature grid, Tony passed one car in the 40-lap affair, scoring a fifth-place finish behind Jesse Stovall, Logan Martin, Jason Hughes, and Will Vaught.
Tony now sits second in the latest Lucas Oil MLRA standings.
Full results from the weekend are available at www.COMPDirt.com and www.MLRARacing.com .
Tony has three events on the schedule for this weekend. On Thursday night he’ll enter the UMP DIRTcar Summernationals event at Macon Speedway (Macon, Illinois). Then, on Friday and Saturday he’ll resume action with the Lucas Oil MLRA as the tour sanctions a $3,000-to-win and $5,000-to-win program at Lake Ozark Speedway (Eldon, Missouri).
