Jimmy Owens Dominates Castrol Flo Racing Night In America

The Castrol Flo Racing series was back in town do to battle for a huge $22,022 pay day in front of a packed crowd. 
 
Jimmy Owens and Mike Marlar would lead the stacked field to green for the 50 lap feature. Owens would put his #20 on top with Marlar, Chris Madden, Ricky Thorton Jr and Jensen Ford making up your initial top five. Hedgecock wasn’t getting paid by the hour as he immediately started working on Ford for a top five spot. Just one lap later Hedgecock would take the position away moving Ford back to the sixth spot. Chris Madden currently has the second highest winning total of all Super Late Model drivers and was looking to add another 22,0000 to his bank account as he worked over Marlar for the second spot. David Crabtree would be the first driver to retire from the event doing so just six laps into the event. Up front Owens had began to run away from the pack as Bobby Pierce in his #32 was making his debut at the 4-1-1 and looked to have figured it out as he quickly worked on a top five. The battle for second would last the rest of the race as Marlar and Madden would trade the spot several times throughout the race. 2021 Nascar Cup Series Champion Kyle Larson looked to have missed the setup on his #6 car as he began to drop back through the pack going a lap down mid-way through. Up front it was all Owens as he pulled away to a huge lead picking up his eighth straight Super Late Model win at 411.

Martin would take the lead away and assume control of the race just a couple laps later. Jesse Lowe was making his debut in the Cory Hedgecock Motorsports #23 with a strong top five as he battled it out with Brian Smith. Martin started to inch away with the lead but it was an intense battle between the #89 of Brandon Miller as he raced hard with the Smith.

The final race of the night would be the 20 lap Open Wheel feature. Unfortunately, the caution flag would be the story of this one with multiple issues. Peyton Harlow, Jeff Hamby would lead us to green. Trouble for the #5 of Joe Freels would bring up the caution setting up a complete restart. The #4 of Wayne James seemed to be having some engine issues as his machine had a terrible backfire the majority of the race. Hamby was debuting a brand new car but seemed to have lost the handle as he slipped from his second spot back to fifth through the race. Lucas Lee and Bryan Barber didn’t have the best qualifying efforts but they were on go as they both worked their way into the top three. Harlow would survive a caution filled race to pick up his first win of the year at the 4-1-1.
