BARNEY AND SHEPPARD GRAB WINS IN SPRING NATIONALS AT OUTLAW SPEEDWAY

by Paul Szmal & Kenny Shupp

DUNDEE, NY…..With sunny skies overhead and over 170 cars in the pit area, spring finally came at Outlaw Speedway as the Nut Up and Out Ball Em 3rd Annual Spring Nationals took place.

Jason Barney captured the win in the caution-free Lucas Oil Empire Super Sprint feature event. The race took just a little over 9 minutes to complete on a slick track in daytime conditions.

In the Friendly Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep/Ram Outlaw Modified feature, Matt Sheppard began his defense of his 2017 track championship by taking the lead early in the feature from the 3rd starting position and running away from the field. His Sweetners Plus machine was hooked up, and Sheppard nearly lapped into the top ten by race’s end.

The third starting spot was also where Stacey Jackson started in the Crate Sportsman feature. While Jackson had a fast car, lapped traffic proved to be his undoing late in the race, when David Marcuccilli was able to catch him and make the pass for the win in the first of the new Outlaw Speedway Crate Sportsman Series.

Dylan Cecce picked up where he left off from winning last year’s Empire 100 for the Street Stocks by using the low groove to catch and pass Butch Green just before the halfway point to take the top spot in the Street Stock feature.

The IMCA Modified event looked like it was all going Will Ward’s way after he grabbed the lead, but a late race restart allowed Michigan campaigner A.J. Ward to make the pass and snag victory in their feature.

A spirited battle for the lead was the highlight of the 4 Cylinder feature event, as Brad Shepard and Ray Hyer had quite the duel through the event. Shepard, a regular at Genesee Speedway on Saturday nights, was able to hold off Hyer to take the opening day win.

This Friday night, April 27th, is American Legion night at Outlaw Speedway. Legion members who show their ID cards at the grandstand gates will be admitted free. The regular Super 7 Show will be on tap, which includes the first races of the year for the Doug Gross Construction Crate Late Models, the Decker Insurance Hobby Stocks, and the Winners Circle Deli Bandits. Racing begins at 7:00 p.m. For more information, visit outlawspeedwayllc.com
