Wheatland, MO- (July 4th, 2014)- With perfect weather blanketing the Lucas Oil Speedway on a special Thursday night edition of the Budweiser Weekly Racing Series, 115 cars in the pits, and a huge crowd on hand, Tommy Cordray was the last man standing as he scored an emotional win on his birthday to capture the first leg of the ULMA Triple Crown Shootout at Lucas Oil Speedway on Casey's General Stores Night. Kerry Davis scored a thrilling 3-wide win in the USRA Modifieds, while Chip Shaddox captured a wildly popular win in the Factory Stocks. Kris Jackson narrowly beat Logan Martin to outdistance the competition in the USRA B-Mods.

The Tri-Lakes RV USRA B-Mods were the first class to hit the Diamond of Dirt Tracks for their main event as Kris Jackson and Logan Martin put on a driving clinic with Jackson on the extreme topside and Martin in the traction on the bottom as the pair raced lap after lap side by side with neither giving an inch. Jackson finally was able slightly pull ahead and capture the win from his sixth starting spot as Martin took the runner up spot after starting on the pole.

Steve Muilenburg charged all the way from his 18th starting position to cross the AAA Finish Line in third while Mike Striegel and Dakota Foster dueled for the final two spots in the top-5 with Striegel grabbing fourth at the finish and Foster fifth.

Next up on the ultra slick, smooth, and extremely competitive Lucas Oil Speedway surface was the Carson's Corner Napa Factory Stocks and they will be talking about this race for years to come as Wheatland's Chip Shaddox took his first ever win in his sixth year of racing in Wheatland. With David Hendrix dominating the season thus far in the Factory Stocks, CB Race Photos and Lucas Oil put up a $100 weekly bounty on Hendrix until he could be beat.

It only took Shaddox one week as he put his sparkling blue #1 on the bottom and outhustled Hendrix to the finish line as the crowd roared their approval. Hendrix held on for second at the finish and in a true show of sportmanship congratulated Shaddox in Victory Lane. Shawn Whitman came from his 9th starting spot to take 3rd at the finish. Toby Ott led early but ultimately settled for fourth in the final rundown. Otterville, Missouri's Clayton Campbell charged from 16th at the start to finish in fifth.

As if the night couldn't get any better, the Pitts Homes USRA Modifieds went three wide at the finish as Parkville, Missouri's Kerry Davis scored his first ever Lucas Oil Speedway win as he narrowly beat Tim Setzer and John Allen to the stripe as the crowd stood on the feet. Setzer had a nose on Allen to score the second spot with Allen in third. Jason Pursley steadily worked his way from his 10th starting spot to finish in 4th with Jason Russell rounding out the top-5.

The ALPS Food Store ULMA Late Models took the track as the final racing event of the evening with the first leg of the Lucas Cattle Company ULMA Shootout on the line as well as the $1,000 to win pay day courtesy of Rains Ice. With the track slick top to bottom, all eyes were on Larry Ferris in the red and yellow #51 and he appeared to be cruising to his third victory in a row.

A late race caution however would stack the field up for one final restart but as Ferris fired on the restart the field went by as he helplessly fought a flat right rear tire ending his bid for the win. Tommy Cordray charged to the top spot with J.D. Hubert in tow but Cordray had the car to beat and held off Hubert to score an emotional win on his birthday. Hubert crossed the line in second followed by Jake Williams in third. Dwight Niehoff slipped from his 3rd starting spot to finish fourth at the finish. Niehoff's teammate Payton Looney was the Keyser Manufacturing Hard Charger of the Race as he moved all the way from 17th at the start to fifth at the finish.

At the conclusion of the racing action, the huge crowd settled in their seats to celebrate our nation's independence with an amazing fireworks display courtesy of AM Pyrotechnics.

This coming Saturday July 12th, the 8th Annual CMH Diamond Nationals features the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series in their second and final appearance this season as the country's top Dirt Late Model Driver's attempt to claim the $10,000 winner's share of the purse and the prestigious Diamond Ring that goes with it.

John Blankenship held off a hard charging Jimmy Owens to take home the check and the ring in the 2013 edition of this huge event. Other top drivers expected to be in attendance include Don O'Neal, Jared Landers, Eddie Carrier Jr., Tony Jackson Jr., Terry Phillips, Earl Pearson Jr., Billy Moyer Jr., Steve Francis, and many more of the top Dirt Late Model Drivers in the Country!

The Top Drivers from the Lucas Oil MLRA will also be in attendance, as they challenge the stars and cars of the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series. The Pitts Homes USRA Modifieds run in support of the Late Models and will be in action gunning for a top prize of $750 to win courtesy of Clearlight Inn.
