FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SALINA, OK (July 4th, 2015) - Independence Day at the Salina Highbanks Speedway's Freedom Classic ended with Jesse Stovall in Andy's Frozen Custard Victory Lane. Stovall picked up the $5,000 pay day in addition to winning Friday night's feature. A lucrative weekend for the Billings, Missouri driver of the Swafford's Service, Malvern Bank, Black Diamond at Oklahoma's biggest Late Model event of the year.
"We've had some really good luck on our side," said Stovall. "Chad probably had the preferred line and slipped up a little bit. The rubber came there and he just probably didn't know exactly where it was yet and I slipped by him. He's a heck of a racer, and them guys always race you clean. This car is truly a class act."
Chad Simpson started the 40 lap feature from the DirtonDirt.com pole position. Simpson led early on, but caught lap traffic, allowing Stovall to make a pass for lead. Simpson retained second, while Stovall held on to the top spot for the remainder of the race. Tony Jackson Jr. followed Simpson to the checkers recording a podium finish in third.
Tommy Weder Jr. finished fourth and Jake O'Neil completed the top five.
Next on the schedule for the Lucas Oil MLRA is the CMH Diamond Nationals $10,000 to win event at Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, MO in conjunction with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series. The one day event will be a stand alone show followed by the rescheduled Show-Me 100 on Sunday, paying $30,000 to the winner.
