WARRENSBURG, Mo. — Championship racing returned to Central Missouri Speedway on Saturday night for Comfort Inn Warrensburg Station race night. There were 75 cars on hand participating in the five classes on hand for competition.
A total of 20 B-Mods, 15 Super Stocks, 19 Show-Me Vintage Series Racers, 13 Midwest Mods and eight Pure Stocks took part in 13 preliminary heat races and five main events during the race program.
Ethan Isaacs and Stephen Clancy earned the front-row starting positions for the 20-lap main event for B-Mods. Isaacs was quick on the gas to grab the early lead but just as quickly as he grabbed the lead, Isaacs’ night came to an early end as he unexpectedly left the speedway to retire to the pits.
This occurred shortly after Jeremy Lile’s night also ended on a hard note as his car struck a high-side utility tire. Despite the heavy hit, Lile was OK after the incident, but the car was heavily damaged.
When racing resumed, Jake Richards assumed command as Clancy and Cody Brill had a close battle for second. A second yellow flag flew at lap six just as Austin Charles’ and Jacob Ebert’s nights ended early.
At lap eight, it was Brill who worked his way to the front. Clancy hounded Brill for the top spot through lap 12, but when the leaders came to lap 13, Clancy had assumed command of the race. Late in the race, Clancy and Brill separated themselves from the rest of the field to settle the race.
Meanwhile, eleventh-starting Terry Schultz worked his way to third. As the laps wound down, Clancy hit all his marks as needed and went on to claim victory, his 19th CMS win.
Brill recorded his strongest CMS finish of the year in second with Schultz finishing third. Sturgis Streeter was fourth with Jack Richards completing the top five.
At the end of the night Aaron Poe in Super Stocks, Chad Eickleberry in Show-Me Vintage Series, Dustin Dennison in Midwest Mods and Jonathan Evans in Pure Stocks all found themselves in victory lane.
