JIMMY OWENS RECORDS
PAIR OF TOP TENS IN LUCAS OIL ACTION!
Posted March 8, 2010
Jimmy
Owens and his #20 team jumped back on the Lucas Oil Late Model
Dirt Series trail over the March 6-7 weekend with a pair of
$10,000 to win races in the states of Tennessee and South Carolina.
On Saturday night, the ultra-fast Volunteer Speedway in Bulls
Gap, Tennessee played host to the annual running of the 'Spring
Thaw.' After laying down the fastest time during qualifying,
Jimmy grabbed the fourth and final transfer spot in his competitive
heat race. The Newport, Tennessee native started the 60-lap
main event from the fourteenth spot and passed seven competitors
en route to a seventh place performance.
The dirt-slinging competition quickly switched
to the historic Cherokee Speedway in Gaffney, South Carolina
on Sunday afternoon. After finishing second in heat race action,
Jimmy rolled off from the inside of the third row in the 50-lap
'March Madness.' During an early-race red flag period, Jimmy
went pitside to the attention of his crew and returned to the
track at the tail end of the stout field. The "Newport
Nightmare" rallied from the back of the pack to finish
in the eighth position. Jimmy currently finds himself in the
sixth position in Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series point standings
following the doubleheader weekend. You can view complete results
