Bubba Raceway Park Results – February 11, 2018 – Lucas Oil Late Models

Qualifying

Tyler Erb set quick time. It’s his first Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series pole and I believe it’s his first time here.

Heat 1 – Report

Tyler Erb and Brandon Overton lead the field to the green flag in the first heat race of the night. Green, Tyler Erb and Overton run side by side into turn 1. Erb wins the race on the bottom of turn 2. Overton slips and Hudson O’Neal is 4 wide for 4th.

Lap 7, the caution is out. Green, Tyler Erb and Boom Briggs get the jump on the bottom lane.

Tyler Erb wins heat race number one.

Heat 2 – Report

Jonathan Davenport and Jimmy Owens trail the pace truck in heat race number two. Green, Davenport is clear before turn 1. Earl Pearson Jr moves to 2nd.

Davenport drives away. He wins heat race number two.

Heat 3 – Report

Tim McCreadie and Dennis Erb Jr lead them to the start. Green, McCreadie leads into turn 1.

The top row doesn’t move at all! Bloomquist falls to last off turn 2, he started 6th.

Tim McCreadie drives away! He picks up his first heat race win of the season!

Heat 4 – Report

The hometown kid, Tyler Clem and Morgan Bagley set the front row in the final heat race of the night. Green, Clem leads into turn 1. Pierce is all over his rear bumper and looking for the lead.

Lap 2, Clem opens up a gap. Lap 8, Pierce is closing again. But he’s going to run out of time.

Tyler Clem wins heat race number four at the track owned by his father.

At the checkered flag, the winner has lost power. Smoke comes out the back of his #14. The heat race winner comes to a stop on the back stretch. His motor his expired, he’s scheduled to start 4th in the A Main.

B Mains – Report

Track officials have scraped up the track after the heat races. A little scrap and a little water. We now have a completely different race track ahead of the the B Main.

Jason Fitzgerald won the first B Main of the night. He made a pass on the bottom in turn 1. The first pass for the lead of the night.

Don O’Neal fought off pressure from Brandon Sheppard to win B Main #2.

Main Event – Report

The 50 lap main event is next. 4 wide salute for the Ocala, FL dirt racing fans. Tyler Erb and Tim McCreadie will lead them to the start. Bloomquist takes a provisional for the last row.

Green, McCreadie leads into turn 1 by two cars lengths. Tyler Erb closes that gap quickly. They run side by side for the lead.

Contact! Erb to the lead McCreadie to 2nd. McCreadie has a flat left rear! The caution is out.

Green, Davenport throws it deep into turn 1 on the high side. He hits a jump and the car fails to turn. He gathers it back up and runs side by side for the lead. Erb nearly maintains the lead off turn 4 but Davenport had more momentum off the corner. Davenport wins the race back to turn 1 and he cuts back to the bottom.

Lap 7, trouble! Tyler Erb is stopped in turn 4.

Green, Richards moves to 2nd. Caution, car stopped in turn 2. Overton to the pits with a flat.

Green, Richards is working the high side as Davenport runs the bottom. Richards just barely pulls along side in turn 3. Davenport goes to the high side in turn 1 to block the move. Richards jumps the cushion. He loses 3 car lengths as he pulls it out of the loose stuff.

Davenport drops back to the bottom. Richards is coming quick. He pulls along side in turn 3.

The caution is out, car stopped on the front.

Lap 16, green flag, Davenport maintains the lead as the field migrates to the bottom.

Lap 26, the caution is out, Tyler Erb is slow on track.

Green, Earl Pearson Jr to 2nd in turn 1. The caution is out for Boom Briggs.

Green, Richards back to 2nd. Caution, McCreadie is slow down the back.

Green, Pearson to 2nd. Satterlee is tangled in turn 1, caution.

Lap 31, green flag, Trouble! Earl Pearson Jr and Josh Richards tangle in turn 1. Richards is turned sideways and heading down the banking. Owens somehow avoids it all.

But, Bobby Pierce has absolutely nowhere to go. Pierce t-bones Richards and lifts the #1 clear off the ground. Briggs piles into the parking lot as well as Lanigan. Pierce re-fires and hits the pit lane as does Lanigan, Richards and Briggs.

Green. Caution. Overton is stopped against the wall in turn 4.

Green, Davenport opens up a gap. 10 to go and lapped traffic is ahead.

2 laps to go, Pearson and Hudson O’Neal are running down Davenport. I think Davenport is just setting the pace so he doesn’t catch the lappers.

1 to go, Davenport opens the gap back up. Davenport wins at Bubba Raceway Park!

The national dirt late model tour has a little more than a month off. On March 16th, they head to Atomic Speedway is Chillicothe, OH. On March 17th, the tour lands at Brownstown Speedway in Brownstown, IN.
