Stephen Clancy headlines Lakeside Speedway season opener

KANSAS CITY,, Kansas — After a great opening ceremonies E-Mods would take to the track with #14A Aaron Jones, #6 Zach Boyd and #54L of Chris Dishong all picking up heat race wins to set the stage for a stellar feature. Hired gun Ethan Isaacs #16L from Bonner Springs, KS would take the early lead and hold off the challenge of Jones and Dishong with Boyd nipping at their heels. Dishong and Boyd would try both high and low as Isaacs would not faulter and hole the line and lead. Vic Tranckino was the big mover of the race moving through the pack and making his way toward the front. As the laps diminished, Isaacs would pick up the feature win and celebrate in Nextran Victory Lane with Chris Dishong a very close second and Boyd third. Bashor, KS driver Tranckino would end the feature fourth with Jones in the mix rounding out the features top five.

Pure Stock would see a loaded field of competitors with heat race winners #6 John Snyder, #25 Tim Billings and #56 Joseph Smith Jr starting in the front. Snyder would take the early lead and fight to hold it every lap with Billings and #67 Jeff Goepferich Jr along with Smith Jr challenging. Smith would see the lead only momentary as Billings would take the spot only to see Snyder fly back by with the momentum. Goepferich Jr appeared to be the car to beat but could not find away around Snyder who would show poise and consistency lap after lap. Snyder would not be denied and claim the win with Billings a very close second and Smith Jr third on the night. As Snyder celebrated his win, Goepferich would place fourth and an impressive Ed Noll #15 would round out the night’s top five finishers.

Heat race winners in USRA B-Mod were #1K Tim Karrick, #12C Stephen Clancy and #66 Ethan Isaacs as they would fill the top three spots for the feature lineup. On the initial start, Karrick would charge out front but something on the #1K would go away and bring out the yellow ending his feature. On the ensuing restart Stephen Clancy would charge out front only to see Jon Baker #311 challenge and take the top spot using the extreme high line. Clancy would charge back by and find the line holding off Baker only temporarily. Big movers of the feature were #68 Kerry Davis and #57 of Chad Clancy as they would consistently pass cars to challenge Baker for second place. As the checkers flew, Stephen Clancy would celebrate the win in Nextran Victory Lane with Davis closing into finish second and Baker a very close third. Chad Clancy would bring his car home fourth with Isaacs ending the feature in the fifth position.

USRA Stock Car heat race winners were #16L Chris Dishong, #34X Mich Ross and #7 Doug Keller setting the stage for a competitive and exciting feature event. Keller would use the front row to take the early lead with Dishong and #28D of Gary Donaldson on his deck lid as the race progressed. Keller would continue to lead and #91J Jaylen Wettengel would find the line and close in on the leader getting by both Dishong and Donaldson. Wettengel would make it exciting in the closing laps with Ross also in the mix for the checkers. When the smoke cleared, Keller would stand victorious in Nextran Victory Lane with Wettengel in second and Dishong third. Donaldson would have to settle for fourth with Stanton, IA driver Randy Foote #37 impressing in only his second run in a USRA Stock Car rounding out the night’s top five finishers.

Sport Compact would see a three-man dogfight as Brad Mick #31 would pick up the het race win. Mick would take the early lead from #6 Franklin Reed only to see David Miller charge from a third place starting position to capture the lead. Miller #55 would charge on to Nextran Victory Lane with Mick second and Reed third bring our racing to an end on this night of competition.
