9.14.19 Fuel Late Models Results
After coming home 3rd and having a front row seat to the electric photo finish back in April, Shaun Harrell was more than determined to be in the mix for the win last night at Lancaster Motor Speedway Caskey/Munn. The Hope Mills, North Carolina racer set the fastest time in Renegade Time Trials and went on to pick up the victory in last night’s Jackson Shrine Club Race.
While Harrell was strong throughout the duration of the evening, his 2nd series win of 2019 did not come as easy as some might have expected. Outside polesitter Willie-Crystal Milliken, who finished in the runner-up position back in April, grabbed the lead at the drop of the green flag. While Milliken flexed his muscles early, Harrell refused to let the race leader get away from him. Just as the spirited battle for the lead developed, misfortune struck the Roanoke Rapids driver as mechanical issues would sideline him just before the halfway point. In addition, the strong run of Adam Yarbrough would unfortunately come to a premature end thanks to fuel pressure complications. Once Harrell inherited the point from Milliken and established a comfortable lead on the ensuing restart, the racing immediately intensified behind him. Ron Parker, Ricky Weeks Racing, Steve Banal Racing, and Derek Rogers jockeyed for position throughout the Top 5. Harrell went on to capture the win while the veteran Weeks turned in his best FUEL performance of the season with a runner-up finish. Parker, Banal, and Rogers rounded out the Top 5 finishers.
