TOP 10 AT LAKESIDE!

FINISHED:  8TH

 

John only had to finish in the top five of his heat race to start on the front of the feature, but that didn't happen.  Starting 6th he was up to 3rd when one of the hoses came off the motor and he had to pull in.  That put him in the back of the B feature.  Only the top 4 transfer to the A main.  He finished 2nd, what a race!  That finish put him starting 22nd in the A feature and man was he moving!  On lap 9 he had already made it up to about 10th when he and Tom Charles, #81, got together and Tom spun.  John never lost forward motion, but the powers that be put them both to the back.  John restarted 22nd again and made it back up to finish 8th!!  The car was spot on and he could put it anywhere on the track.

John will be racing at Nevada Speedway on Saturday night, hope to see you there!

 

J. Boney, Clancy & Heeter All Return To Victory Lane At Lakeside Speedway
By: Larry Lowrey Jr.

Racing at Lakeside Speedway has been very unpredictable in '09. The 1st 5 races of the season produced 15 different winners. Friday night at Lakeside Speedway saw the 1st repeat winner at Lakeside Speedway. Not only did the fans get to see a repeat winner in one class, they got to see a repeat winner in all 3 classes.

In the Modified division, Justin Boney returned to victory lane.

Starting from inside row number 8, Boney had a long way to go to reach the front of the field. Most fans that were in attendance on Friday night know that Boney could get the job done, but with a strong field of cars in front of him the likely hood of him getting there would be a long shot.

Cody Owens jumped out to the early lead. Lakeside looked like it's streak of different winners would continue for yet another week. At the first yellow flag, Owens was still in the lead. Joe Walker was in 2nd, 3rd was held down by Mark Schafman and Boney was in 4th.

Boney had moved all the way from 15th to 4th in the matter of about 10 laps. The odds on him getting to the point position started to look better and better.

"There's no secret, we got a new deal this year a new car. I am putting everything else together myself this year with a lot of help from friends, family and sponsors," said Boney, "We got the new Hoffman car this year the H3 it's an R & D (research and development) thing and I am loving it. I am just ecstatic"

As the racing action got back underway Walker had taken the lead from Owens, but it wouldn't last for long.

Boney rode the high line from 4th on the restart to dive into turn one alongside Walker as he took the lead. The two would go on an epic battle as they would race side by side for several laps.

"I thought early in the night that the track was going to be one lane around the top," said Boney, "as the night went on it kinda blew it off . Everything is clicking for us right now. We have a good car and good team, everything is going good right now."

Boney took the final advantage after the side by side action with Walker. Once he gained the lead, he would not be denied as he would extend his lead all the way to the checkered flags. It would be Boney's 2nd win in just 3 race nights at Lakeside Speedway.

Racing behind the leader was fast and furious as well. Throughout the race several drivers would jockey for position. Only a few yellows would plague the race.

Walker would hold on for 2nd, Aaron Marrant had another top 5 outing finishing in 3rd, 4th went to Bubba Harvey and Mark Schafman found himself rounding out the top 5.
