    Chase Junghans Advances 18 Positions in 38th Annual DTWC
    Coors Light Fall Classic at Whynot Up Next

    Manhattan, Kansas (10/24/18) – Chase Junghans’ Dirt Track World Championship weekend might’ve gotten off to a slow start, but the Kansas racer gained speed and ground by the time that it was over. In fact, he advanced 18 positions in the $100,000 finale to record a 10th-place finish in his Shop Quik Convenience Stores #18 Bozard Ford Lincoln/XR1 Rocket Chassis/ Clements Racing Engine Super Late Model.

    “We were just a tick off all weekend until the non-qualifier’s race, and then we found some speed,” Junghans said. “I know some people thought we were crazy for giving up the $3,000 win, but we came to race and get track experience. On Sunday, the track was pretty good for daytime conditions, and we were able to come away with a Top-10 finish. I was pretty happy overall with how we rebounded to have a strong finish.”

    Friday night found Chase Junghans in action at Portsmouth Raceway Park (Portsmouth, Ohio) for the preliminary night for the 38th annual Rhino Ag Dirt Track World Championship.

    Drawing 49 Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series (LOLMDS) entries for the two-day event, Junghans followed up a fourth-place finish in his first heat race with a seventh-place finish in his second heat.

    After failing to accumulate enough points to lock into the feature, Chase was relegated to a Saturday night B-Main. Unfortunately, he came up one spot short of a transferring to the feature with a fourth-place finish. While he didn’t earn a starting position in the finale, he did earn a spot in the Jim Dunn Memorial non-qualifiers feature, where he streaked to 30-lap victory, giving him the choice to tag the tail of the feature or claim the $3,000 payday.

    Junghans elected to forfeit the $3,000 winner’s check to start on the tail of the feature. However, Chase would have to wait a day to compete in the finale as Mother Nature pushed the 100 lapper back to Sunday afternoon. In the finale he enjoyed a great run as he advanced from the 28th-starting position to a 10th-place finish.
