9.22.17 Brownstown Speedway Results

BROWNSTOWN SPEEDWAY – 09/22/2017

Jimmy Owens bolted to the lead at the start of the 30-lap Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series feature on Friday Night at the Brownstown Speedway as the 3-time series champion led all the way to score the win in the caution-free race. It was Owens’ fourth LOLMDS win of the season and his third career at Brownstown.

Devin Gilpin picked up the second spot from pole-sitter Tanner English on lap four and he stayed there the rest of the race to register his best career LOLMDS finish. Gilpin pulled to within two-car lengths a couple of times, and he appeared primed to catch Owens as Owens battled heavy traffic in the midway part of the race. Trailing Owens and Gilpin to the finish line were Tim McCreadie, points leader Josh Richards and Darrell Lanigan.

“I can’t’ thank my crew enough,” said the veteran Owens in Lucas Oil Victory Lane. The car was good all night. I looked around at the line-up and I noticed I was the only Lucas Oil regular starting in the first two rows. Our car was very maneuverable out there you could run anywhere on the track it was in really good shape tonight. Thanks to the track crew for helping us put on a good show for the fans tonight.”

Owens only experienced a few hiccups during the race as he was three-wide in lapped traffic for several laps before clearing those drivers and expanding his lead over Gilpin. It was Owens’ 58th career series win which keeps him second all-time to Scott Bloomquist.

Gilpin, who returned to Brownstown last weekend after suffering a broken collarbone in a rollover incident last month at the track. Gilpin came back with vengeance winning the weekly late model show at Brownstown last weekend in the Jim Beeman-owned MasterSbilt. Gilpin then recorded his first-career LOLMDS podium finish with his second-place run.

“I can’t’ believe I am up here on the podium with Jimmy Owens and Tim McCreadie. Jimmy Owens is one of my racing idols. We tried our best tonight to run him down. To comeback from the accident here last month and to get a win last week and a second tonight against the best in the country it’s just awesome. I want to thank Jim Beeman for giving me another chance to drive his car add we learned a lot tonight for tomorrow night’s 100 lap race.”

McCreadie a former Jackson 100 winner gained more points on current championship points leader Josh Richards who finished one spot behind him in fourth.” The race track was just awesome tonight. Hats off to the track crew. It just shows you don’t need a rough track with a big cushion to put on a show. There was a big crowd here tonight and I am sure tomorrow night the place will be packed.”
