John Hunter Nemechek left no doubt that he has mastered Lebanon I-44 Speedway Saturday night, when he won his second straight JEGS/CRA All-Stars Tour “Masters of the Pros” 144 at the Lebanon, MO raceway.
Saturday night’s win was not an easy on, as Trevor Noles battled Nemechek over the last 36 laps, swapping the lead a couple of times before Nemechek managed to pull away on the final green, white, checker restart to get the win.
“I really love this place, the track, the fans and this event is just awesome”, remarked Nemechek in victory lane. “I have to thank my crew for all the hard work and my dad for working out the plans to get me here to be able to race and get the win today.”
Nemechek raced in Friday nights NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race in Dover, Delaware, then hopped on a delayed flight early Saturday morning and made it to the track to only get on the track one time in the first practice session. Nemechek showed he didn’t need a lot of track time to be ready, as he was the fastest in practice during the second session after only getting four practice runs.
An early qualifying draw resulted in a ninth place starting position for the race, but that didn’t keep Nemechek at bay very long.
After Travis Braden led the first 56 laps, Justin South charged to the front to get the lead on lap 57 while Nemechek and Noles worked their way to the front. South continued to lead after the lap 100 break, when he suddenly shot off the track and crashed hard into the turn three wall after a steering piece broke on lap 108. South was okay, but done for the night.
That handed the lead to second place Noles, with Nemechek close behind, setting up the battle between the two over the last 36 laps that included two late restarts. The duo raced side-by-side for several laps with a little bit of contact between them.
Nemechek claimed the $8000 first place payoff, plus his second signature green jacket, similar to the one that is known for adorning the champion of golf’s Masters event. With the win Nemechek remains perfect in JEGS/CRA All-Stars Tour competition, where he now has seven wins in seven series starts over the last three years.
Noles would finish in second. Senoia, Georgia’s Bubba Pollard made several late passes to finish in third place. Cole Williams battled in the top five throughout the event to finish in fourth place. Cody Coughlin finished in fifth.
The next JEGS/CRA All-Stars Tour event will be on Saturday, May 28 at Columbus Motor Speedway in Obetz, Ohio. For more information, visit CRA-Racing.com.
