Morton tops USRA B-Mod special at Lucas Oil Speedway


WHEATLAND, Mo. -- With most of the other area tracks cancelled due to rain throughout the week, 119 cars jammed the Lucas Oil Speedway pit area this past Saturday night for Budweiser Weekly Racing Series competition.

J.C. Morton topped a stellar 39-car field of Tri-Lakes RV USRA B-Mods to take the special $500 win courtesy of MavTV, while Tim Setzer got the job done in the Pitts Homes USRA Modifieds.

The second main event of the night was another star-studded field of Pitts Homes USRA Modifieds with Setzer once again showing the way around Lucas Oil Speedway from his sixth starting position to take the win.

Chanute, Kansas' John Allen charged from fourteenth to second at the finish as a late-race caution may have changed the outcome, but the race remained green in the late stages of the race.

Defending track champion Terry Schultz finished in the third spot after starting tenth. Kearney's Trevor Hunt and Columbia's Danny Crane rounded out the top five.

The final event of the evening was a legendary battle between two of the region's best USRA B-Mod drivers as J.C. Morton held off Kris Jackson to score the win in the Tri-Lakes RV USRA B-Mods.

With an absolutely perfectly smooth and slick racetrack, Morton hung on the bottom groove while Jackson clung to the far top shelf as they raced side by side lap after lap before Morton gained a slight advantage at the end as the top groove gave out slightly in the waning laps.

Jackson held on for second at the finish with local favorite Mike Striegel just behind the leaders in third after starting in the ninth spot.

Jake Richards and Chris Hawkins took the final two spots in the top five.

This coming weekend, June 13-15, the Lucas Oil Drag Boat Racing Series makes it's first appearance of 2014 to Lake Lucas for the 3rd Annual John Haas Memorial Drag Boat Classic featuring the wild 250-mph Top Fuel Hydros. The dirt track will also be busy on Saturday night, June 14, for 93.5 Rocks Lucas Oil Speedway Night with a full program of Budweiser Weekly Racing Series action.
