Lance Town captured the opening night feature win in the USRA Modified division.


The 2018 race season at Lakeside Speedway with 30 years of racing on the river’s edge began Friday under cool and grey skies. However, the cool weather did not bother race fans and drivers as they bundled up and strapped in for the first night of competition.

Last year’s Holley USRA Stock Car track champion, Brett Heeter, claimed 16 main event wins last year and started the 2018 season off with a victory.

Chase Galvan led the opening laps of the Out-Pace USRA B-Mod 20-lap main event but Belton, Mo.’s Brad Smith had the car to beat as the defending track champion started his season strong with a trip to victory lane.

Brett Heeter won the Holley USRA Stock Car feature.

Lance Town of Louisburg finished up the night by dominating all 20 laps of the USRA Modified main event over Tyler Schmidt and defending track champion Nic Bidinger.

Next Friday, April 27, weekly racing continues with USRA Modifieds, Holley USRA Stock Cars and Out-Pace USRA B-Mods, plus E-Mods and Four-Cylinders will also be part of the program.
