Contact: Chris Dolack Marlar Captures World of Outlaws Late Model Series-Scion of Knoxville 50 at Tazewell By Chris Tilley TAZEWELL, TN – April 12, 2014 – Mike Marlar of Winfield, Tenn. took advantage of Tim McCreadie’s misfortune and went on to capture Saturday night’s Scion of Knoxville 50 World of Outlaws Late Model Series A-Main at Tazewell Speedway. This was Marlar’s first-career WoO LMS victory and he became the seventh different winner this season in seven races for the Outlaws. “We actually scaled back on racing this year and I think we’re gonna to have one of our best year’s yet,” stated and excited Marlar in Victory Lane. “My steering is bent, my arms are tired but with all the help from my family and friends, Ronnie Delk (car owner), all of the work they put in, we’re gonna stay in there and drive it all we can,” stated Marlar after talking about his near mishap with lapped car Mark Gant. McCreadie and Marlar brought the field of 24 to life for the start of the 50-lapper with McCreadie jumping to the high side and the early lead. Marlar tucked under T-Mac for second with Darrell Lanigan moving from his eighth spot to the fifth position by the second circuit. By the sixth lap, sixth starting Shane Clanton passed Rick Eckert for the third spot. Second-place finisher Shane Clanton of Zebulon, Ga talked about his finish. “We’re good, just need a little lady luck to start up front and maybe we can win one,” stated Clanton who drove the Capital Race Cars entry to the podium finish. Rick Eckert of York, Pa held on to a third place finish behind Clanton and said that tire choice was the key. “He was a little bit softer on the left rear tire, that one restart he took the bottom off two and snuck by me and I just couldn’t get him back cleared,” stated Eckert after the main event. Rounding out the top-five were eighth starting Darrell Lanigan of Union, Ky. and fifth starting Eric Wells of Hazard, Ky.. Brandon Overton of Appleton, Ga finished sixth while Rookie-of-the-Year contender Chase Junghans of Manhattan, Ks. finished seventh. Morgan Bagley of Tyler, Tex., Clint Smith of Senoia, Ga., and Rick “Boom” Briggs of Bear Lake, Pa. finished out the top ten finishers. Eight caution flags slowed the main event. The first yellow flag would wave on lap three as Boom Briggs got crossed up in turn four collecting three more. Lap nine would see leader McCreadie slowing for a right rear flat tire. Bryan Hendrix spun at the top of turn two in front of the top-four cars and brought out the yellow on lap-17. Debris brought out the next yellow on lap 26. The next yellow flag would wave on lap-29 as the rescue squad had to come out of the infield and attend to a spectator. Jack Sullivan would slow in turn three for a flat tire on lap 31 to bring out the next yellow flag. The lap-39 caution flag would be for Chub Frank’s right-rear flat.Jeff Wolfenbarger would slow for the final yellow with two laps to go with a flat tire. Twenty-four cars entered the event, which brought the WoO LMS to Gary Hall’s track outside Tazewell for the lone season visit. Rick Eckert turned the fastest overall lap of Ohlins Shocks Time Trials, circling the blistering-fast 1/3 mile oval in 11.390 seconds. Heat winners were Eckert, Wells and McCreadie. The WoO LMS will be back in action April 25-26 with the sixth running of the Illini 100 at Farmer City (Ill.) Raceway.
