Hudson O'Neal Races to Castrol FloRacing Night in America Brownstown Victory

BROWNSTOWN, Ind — It was a special homecoming for Hudson O’Neal on Wednesday night at Brownstown Speedway. The Martinsville, Indiana racer stormed to the $20,000 Castrol FloRacing Night in America presented by Kubota victory.

O’Neal powered past Jonathan Davenport for the lead exiting turn four on the 20th circuit and never looked back on his way to the victory.

“For me, there’s nothing like Brownstown Speedway, anytime that I can come here and be in any type of race car is just so special,” O’Neal said. “It just took until lapped traffic (to get the lead back). It looked like he got a little loose in lapped traffic and I started kinda working and maneuver my line a little bit to find where I was gonna be a little bit better to get back by him.”

From the pole position O’Neal led the first circuit  before fourth-starting Jonathan Davenport used the high line of the ¼-mile oval to take the lead on the second lap. The 2021 series champion maintained the top spot until lap 20, when O’Neal powered back to the lead.

Once out front Hudson enjoyed a comfortable advantage taking the checkered flag 1.949 seconds in front of Tanner English with Tim McCreadie, 17th-starting Devin Moran, and 11th-starting Ross Robinson completing the Top-5 finishers.

The victory was the first of the year for O’Neal on the tour and his fifth all-time.

Exiting round #6 of the season at Brownstown Speedway, defending champion Bobby Pierce holds a 27-point advantage over Ricky Thornton Jr. for the point lead. Daulton Wilson, Jason Feger, Spencer Hughes, Tim McCreadie, Devin Moran, Carson Ferguson, Hudson O’Neal, and Garrett Alberson round out the current Top 10 in the standings.
