Ryan Gustin disqualified following MLRA win

Jesse Stovall handed the victory at Stuart International Speedway

On Wednesday night, the Lucas Oil MLRA Series rolled into Stuart International Speedway. The 1/4-mile dirt track is located in Stuart, Iowa.

Ryan Gustin threw a slider on Jesse Stovall to take the race lead in the late model feature. The two fought side by side for multiple laps in the battle for the win.

Gustin crossed the finish line ahead of Stovall. However, in post-race tech an illegal rear-suspension part was found to be fitted to the machine.

Per a series release, “Gustin’s top four bar rod was curved resulting in the DQ. Per MLRA rule book section 12.23 (H-vii), all radius rods must be straight with the exception of the left lower, that can have a bend for axle housing mount clearance.”

Stovall claimed the $3,000 check. Gustin has been credited with a 24th place finish.

The MLRA Late Models are in the middle of a week long tour. Tonight, the touring series is scheduled to unload at Iowa’s Davenport Speedway.
