in his heat race, which earned him the inside fifth row starting
spot for the $40,000 to win A-Main. Despite suffering a flat
tire late in the 100-lap feature event, the "Newport Nightmare"
was still able to bring his #20 Bloomquist entry home in the
fourth position behind winner Shannon Babb, Billy Moyer, and
Darrell Lanigan. You can view full results online at www.lucasdirt.com!

OWENS EARNS PAIR OF TOP FIVES
OVER THE WEEKEND!
Posted April 21, 2008
Jimmy
Owens had a strong weekend from April 18-20, as he notched a
pair of Top Five performances! His weekend kicked off with the
3rd Annual 'Colossal 100' on April 18-19 at the Dirt Track at
the Lowe's Motor Speedway in Concord, North Carolina. Jimmy
was seventh fastest in World of Outlaws Late Model Series qualifying
on Friday night and later won his competitive heat race. After
drawing a number sixteen prior to the $50,000 to win A-Main
on Saturday, Jimmy survived the caution-plagued 100-lap race
to bring home a solid fourth place effort behind winner Steve
Francis, Chris Madden, and Josh Richards.
On Sunday afternoon, April 20, the action turned to the Tazewell
Speedway in Tazewell, Tennessee for a $3,000 to win Advance
Auto Parts Thunder Series (AAPTS) show. Jimmy tripped the clock
faster than any other competitor in qualifying, as he toured
the "Taz" in a mere 12.819 seconds. After a fourth
place finish in the dash, Jimmy ran third throughout most of
the 50-lap main event before making a strong late bid for the
win. The "Newport Nightmare" took the second spot
with only two laps remaining and got beside of leader and eventual
winner John Gill on the final lap, but came up just shy of recording
the win. You can view complete results from both Lowe's and
Tazewell online at www.worldofoutlaws.com
