Chris Ferguson Pockets $2,500 for Prairie Dirt Classic Prelim Win
USA Nationals Invasion Set for This Weekend at Cedar Lake
Mt. Holly, North Carolina (07/30/19) – Chris Ferguson entered the 30th annual Prairie Dirt Classic over the weekend at Fairbury Speedway in his Diff-Tran Machining #22 K and K Trucking/ Bloomquist Race Car/ Clements Racing Engine Super Late Model.
The mega weekend turned out to be a good one for the North Carolina racer. He registered a $2,500 preliminary feature win on Friday night, and then raced to a Top-10 finish in Saturday night’s $30,000-to-win finale.
“I love this place,†Ferguson told the fans after the race. “This is my home away from home. Sorry I wasn’t on the cushion tonight, but we had to get it done on the bottom. I knew Mikey [Marlar] was pretty good, but we were a little bit better than him on the bottom. Once he ran my line I just kind of had to settle. I saw [Brian] Shirley peaking out there [on the outside], and when he threw that slider in one and two I was like, ‘Don’t miss the bottom.’
“Those two guys are two of the best. To come out here and outrun them, it’s awesome.â€
On Friday evening Chris Ferguson made the trek to Fairbury Speedway (Fairbury, Illinois), where he kicked off the 30th annual Prairie Dirt Classic. With 72 World of Outlaws (WoO) Morton Buildings Late Model Series entries on hand for a round of preliminary features, Ferguson recorded the fifth-fastest time in his qualifying group, which locked him into the third-starting position for the A-Main.
Overtaking Mike Marlar and Brian Shirley for the lead with two laps remaining, Chris held off Marlar to capture his third win of the season and a $2,500 payday. Marlar, Brian Shirley, Kyle Bronson, and Jimmy Owens trailed him to the checkers in the 25-lap affair.
Via his performance on Friday night, Chris earned a spot in the redraw for the $30,000-to-win finale on Saturday night. After receiving the fourth-starting spot in the redraw, Chris battled in the Top-5 for the majority of the race until slipping to an eight-place finish late in the 100-lapper.
“Obviously we wanted the win, but we were still pleased with our weekend results against such a tough field of cars,†Ferguson noted. “This weekend I’m really excited to enter the USA Nationals at Cedar Lake Speedway. The place looks amazing, and it’ll be awesome to race in front of such an energetic crowd for the second-straight week.â€
Full results from the weekend are available at www.WoOLMS.com .
This weekend – August 1-3 – Chris will make his debut at the famed Cedar Lake Speedway (New Richmond, Wisconsin) during the 32nd Annual USA Nationals. The WoO-sanctioned weekend opens on Thursday night with a $6,000-to-win program. On Friday and Saturday the $50,000-to-win USA Nationals takes center stage.
