WARRENSBURG, Mo. — Sixty-eight race teams signed up for weekly racing along with the first appearance of the year of the Cash Money SuperDirt Series Late Models at Central Missouri Speedway.
Dustin Atkinson and multiple-time Cash Money Late Model Winner, Mitch Keeter began the night’s 25-lap main event from row one.
Keeter quickly moved his machine to the top of the field, leaving Atkinson and Dylan Bates to battle for second. A quick single-car caution slowed the field at lap seven with Keeter leading over Atkinson, Dean Wille, and Dylan Bates.
Just after the restart and through lap 15, Keeter built a nearly half-straightaway lead over his closest pursuer. As he set a blistering pace over the final 10 circuits he continued to pull away from the rest of the field.
A spirited battle to the finish took place with the rest of the top-five. As Keeter once again captured the winning headlines, Atkinson fought hard for a strong second-place run ahead of Bates in third, Wille fourth and Dustin Mooneyham completing top-five.
