Parga Remains Unbeaten On Macon Dirt

MACON, Ill. – Jose Parga remained unbeaten in the Decatur Building Trades Pro Late Model division this year at Macon Speedway with his fourth-straight victory on Saturday night.

Parga outran Colby Sheppard during the 20-lap feature to pick up the victory. Braden Johnson, Ryan Miller and Eric Doran completed the top-five.

Guy Taylor led the first two laps of the BillingsleyRewards.com Modified feature before Jacob Steinkoenig led lap three. Unfortunately for the two aforementioned drivers, Tommy Sheppard Jr. was on the prowl and took over the lead on lap four. Sheppard led the rest of the way, while James Walters was challenging from second. At the checkered, Sheppard was followed by Walters, Steinkoenig, Alan Crowder and Clint Martin.

Kyle Helmick led the first six laps in the DIRTcar Pro Mod feature before B.J. Deal wrestled the top spot away. Deal, making his first appearance at the track this season, was on a rail, leading the rest of the way to claim the victory. Taylor took second, while Helmick, Nathan Lynch and Nick Justice completed the top five.

The Archers Alley Street Stock field of competitors knew they had their work cut out for them when Bobby Beiler took the green flag from the outside of row one. Beiler raced into the number one spot with some of the best drivers right behind him, including Taylor, Darrell Dick and Nick Macklin. Beiler went on to claim the feature win with Macklin, Dick, Jeff Reed Jr. and Taylor completing the top-five.

Scott Landers took the lead at the green in the Weddle Performance Engine Sportsman feature event and never looked back, claiming the victory. Jim Farley III, Rick Roedel, Wes O’Dell and Roy Magee were the rest of the top-five.

Billy Mason took the lead at the green flag in the DIRTcar Hornet feature and set a commanding pace in the early going. Just when everyone thought he had it easily wrapped up, Allan Harris had moved from his eighth starting position into second. During the last two laps, Harris kept Mason honest but was never able to pull alongside. Mason claimed the win, while Harris, Chris Wright, Adam Webb and Shelby Beiler followed at the finish.
