Stormy Scott and Josh Richards both scored the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series on Thursday night at East Bay Raceway Park in Tampa, Florida.
In a feature that had been delayed from Wednesday night due to rain, Scott raced to his first career series win, as the 31-year-old New Mexico native took the lead on lap seven and never yielded the point in winning the 40-lap main event.
It was the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series’ 100th-sanctioned event at East Bay, dating back to 2005.
Scott, who started ninth in the field, came to the front quickly by passing Brian Shirley for the lead. Scott then marched on to become the fourth different winner in four series races this season. Kyle Bronson caught Scott in traffic but kept his line to finish second. Tim McCreadie had his first podium finish of the year taking third. Frank Heckenast Jr. was fourth, with Shirley taking fifth.
“I can’t thank everybody enough for helping us get here, especially all of our sponsors and all of my crew,” said Scott. “We have probably had the roughest two years in late models that anyone could ever have. We started at the highest level and everybody thought were fools for doing that. I just can’t stand defeat and every time we got kicked in the side we just kept going.
“I want to thank my grandparents for this opportunity. During the race, I knew when I moved up the track a little bit I couldn’t steer, and I started watching in front of me and nobody up there could steer as well. I stayed on the bottom and if somebody got by me then they deserved it more than me.”
In the scheduled Thursday night feature, Josh Richards Richards took the lead on lap seven from Mark Whitener and then proceeded to lead the rest of the way to score his 32nd career series and his eighth career triumph at East Bay Raceway Park.
Evans, Georgia’s Brandon Overton crossed the finish line a little over a second behind the winner, in second. Hudson O’Neal finished in third followed by Brian Shirley in fourth and Devin Moran in fifth.
Whitener was looking for the biggest win of his super late model career and bolted to the lead at the start on the second main event of the night. Richards quickly went to the front and was second by the fourth lap. Richards made his move on Whitener, grabbing the lead with seven laps scored.
Overton moved to second on lap nine while Whitener remained in the top three until he suffered a flat tire with five laps to go. A caution with one lap to go set-up a dash to the finish with Richards holding off Overton for the victory.
“I was really frustrated in that first race,” said Richards. “I felt like we had a really good car, but we had to take a provisional and we moved up a little and then we just ended up destroying our primary car in a wreck. I can’t thank the Mason Zeigler crew enough for all of their help in getting this thing ready for the second feature. I felt like in then first few laps it was going to be critical to get to the front and it paid off.”
