Lanigan Turns Back McCreadie & Bagley to Win World of Outlaws Late Model Series Return to Brown County Speedway
Series Points Leader Survives Challenges to Score Ninth Victory of 2014 ABERDEEN, S.D. July 15, 2014 Darrell Lanigan may have led every lap of Tuesday nights World of Outlaws Late Model Series race at Brown County Speedway, but collecting his ninth A-Main victory of the season was far from easy for the two-time series champion and current points leader. Lanigan, 44, of Union, Ky., survived heavy pressure from Tim McCreadie midway through the 50-lap race and later turned back Morgan Bagleys late charge to claim his second consecutive series victory in front of near-capacity crowd at the third-mile oval that hosted its first WoO LMS event since 2008. Lanigan, who also won Sundays A-Main at Deer Creek Speedway in Spring Valley, Minn., led by 1.097 seconds at the finish in claiming the third of four races on the WoO LMS Wild West Tour. The car was good tonight, just got stuck in that lapped traffic a little bit, said Lanigan, who added to his lead atop the national tours all-time wins list with his 62nd career WoO LMS victory. McCreadie got up there on the outside of me and I had to move up a little bit. The car got better once I moved up and it definitely got better at the end. Advancing from his seventh starting spot, Bagley of Tyler, Texas, pressured Lanigan following the races only restart with 10 laps remaining. But the second-year WoO LMS competitor again came up one position short of claiming his first series victory in finishing runner-up to Lanigan for the second straight race. Fifth-starting McCreadie of Watertown, N.Y., was third at the finish after recovering from near disaster when he slipped over the banking while attempting to drive around Lanigan on lap 33. Third-starting Rick Eckert or York, Pa., finished fourth while sixth-starting Tim Fuller of Watertown, N.Y., rounded out the top in a race slowed by one caution. McCreadie gave Lanigan his biggest challenge when he chased down the leader in traffic just before the races halfway point. McCreadie took multiple looks under Lanigan amid heavy traffic between laps 25 and 30 before switching to the high groove once the leaders reached clear track. McCreadies high line appeared to be quicker than Lanigans lane around the bottom of the track, but his bid to take the lead was denied when Lanigan also switched to the high side entering turn one on lap 33. Lanigans abrupt lane switch forced McCreadie up the track and over the banking, effectively ending his chance at victory even though he maintained control of his car and drove back on the racetrack in the fourth position. McCreadie recovered to move by Eckert for third late in the race but couldnt run down Lanigan and Bagley in the closing laps. He settled for third but wasnt pleased with the lap-33 incident. Hes doing whatever it takes to win and thats what we gotta start doing I guess, said McCreadie, whos currently third in the WoO LMS points standings with just one victory on the year. Its tough. Sometimes its like hes got eyes in the back of his head. I never wouldve thought he couldve went to the top when I poked him on the bottom for five laps. But hes good right now; we just gotta get better. Lanigan said he was aware that McCreadie was looking to his outside, but he felt he had moved back ahead of his challenger before making his move to the top groove. I knew it was close, but I thought I had him clear there when I moved up, Lanigan said. I dont think I touched him. I think he kind of ran out of room up there and went over the lip a little bit. The lips really bad when you get to the top up there. Continuing his upswing on the series, Bagley, last years runner-up in the WoO LMS Rookie of the Year chase, notched his third straight top-five finish and his sixth top-10 result in the past seven series races. He was happy to score another solid finish but frustrated to once again fall just shy of a breakthrough victory. Maybe one night the tables will turn and you can talk to me first and Darrell second, Bagley told WoO LMS announcer Ben Shelton during his post-race interview. We got a good program working here, just trying to stick with it and do a little fine tuning and not get too far out of the ballpark. Fast qualifier Jimmy Mars of Menomonie, Wis., who won the Wild West Tour opener at Hibbing (Minn.) Raceway on July 10, notched his third straight top-10 finish on the tour with a sixth-place performance. Chub Frank of Bear Lake, Pa., was seventh, while leading series rookie Frank Heckenast Jr. placed eighth. Second-starting Eric Wells of Hazard, Ky., dropped to ninth at the finish with hometown driver Kent Arment rounding out the top 10. The races only caution occurred with 40 laps complete when Shane Clanton of Zebulon, Ga., slowed woes on the front straightaway before heading to the pit area. With three of four Wild West Tour events complete, World of Outlaws Late Model Series competitors head north to River Cities Speedway in Grand Forks, N.D., for the Wild West Tour finale Friday night. The $10,000-to-win event is the tours only stop in North Dakota this season. For more information on the WoO LMS, visit www.worldofoutlaws.com.
