Black Diamond Racecars and Earl Pearson Jr. Top LOLMDS at Tri-City
LOLMDS Four-Race Week Up Next
Shreveport, Louisiana (07/16/18) – Earl Pearson Jr. piloted the Black Diamond Racecars House Car/ Lucas Oil #1 P&W Sales/ Clements Racing Engine Super Late Model to the $12,000 victory on Friday night at Tri City Speedway.
The victory was his fourth of the 2018 season.
“Jimmy [Owens] was awful good tonight. I watched him in the heat race and knew he would be hard to beat tonight. I just married myself to the bottom,†said the 46-year-old Pearson in Lucas Oil Victory Lane. “He [Owens] slipped up just a little bit down there in the corner and I held my line around the bottom. Thanks to my crew: J.C. Wright, Garrett Alberson, and Marshall Hooter, they all did a great job tonight.
“I told Kevin Gundaker on the stage during driver’s introductions that a hurricane was about to blow into Tri-City tonight so watch out. They had a little ring around the bottom and I just stayed there. The track was in great shape tonight. You could run anywhere on the track. Hats off to Kevin and his entire track crew. I know the fans saw a terrific race.â€
Friday night found the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series (LOLMDS) returning to action at Tri-City Speedway (Granite City, Illinois) with the NAPA Know How 50. In a field of 26 competitors, Pearson Jr scored a third-place finish in his heat race, locking him into the ninth-starting spot for the opening night feature.
Pacing his way to the front, Earl slipped by race-leader Jimmy Owens on lap-37 and held the field at bay for the remaining 13 circuits to capture his fourth win of the season. Owens, Tim McCreadie, Mason Zeigler, and Bobby Pierce completed the Top-5 finishers.
Pearson Jr. was awarded a $12,000 payday for his victory.
On Saturday night the team rolled into Lucas Oil Speedway (Wheatland, Missouri) where they competed in the annual CMH Diamond Nationals. Earl landed a runner-up finish in his heat race, which positioned him fifth on the starting grid for the $12,000-to-win finale. Passing two cars in the 50-lap affair, Pearson Jr. scored a third-place finish behind Scott Bloomquist and Mason Zeigler with Will Vaught and Jimmy Owens completing the Top 5.
Earl currently sits in fourth in the latest Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series (LOLMDS) point standings. For complete standings and more results from these events, please visit www.LucasDirt.com .
This week – July 17-21 – will see the team competing in four events in five days with the LOLMDS. On Tuesday night a $10,000-to-win event will be held at Brown County Speedway (Aberdeen, South Dakota), while Wednesday finds the tour rolling into Jackson Motorplex (Jackson, Minnesota) for the first time.
On Thursday evening the rescheduled Go 50 will be held at I-80 Speedway (Greenwood, Nebraska). Friday and Saturday will see Pearson Jr. looking to claim his first-career Silver Dollar Nationals crown as the $53,000-to-win event is held at I-80 Speedway.
