Bidinger, Claxton back in Lakeside Speedway winnrers circle


KANSAS CITY, Kan. -- Mother Nature finally played nice with Lakeside Speedway this past week allowing for a dynamite super fast track. The track led to side-by-side high and low lines all evening long.

The second feature of the evening involved the top 24 cars of the USRA B-Mod class. Thirty seven cars began the night in competition. The guess was who would lead lap 1: Hall of Fame legend Gene Claxton or Aaron Marrant.

To everyone’s surprise, young Rodney Schweizer  powered to the front and stayed in that position until lap 8. Claxton produced an old-fashioned slide job on the leader entering turn 3 to take the lead.

Last week’s winner, Chad Clancy, made a late-race rush to power close to Claxton but to no avail as Claxton brought home the win.

Nic Bidinger loves the front row and loves a dry smooth track as he led all 25 laps of the USRA Modified main event. However, he had to survive challenges from Darron Fuqua on several occasions as Fuqua used the low line to pull even. Aaron Marrant and Tim Karrick were also putting on a race as they were side by side with Karrick claiming this battle for third.

Bidinger held off Fuqua to claim his second victory at Lakeside Speedway in as many weeks.

“Racing on the River’s Edge” continues every Friday night through October with the USRA Modifieds and USRA B-Mods, plus Grand Nationals and Factory Stocks. Gates open at 5 p.m., hot laps are at 6:45 and the first race gets underway at 7:30.

Adult ticket prices are $12, kids ages 7-12 are $6 and children 6 and younger are admitted free of charge. Seniors and military personnel with ID are admitted for $10.
