CLAYTON VICTORIOUS IN MSCS AT TRI-STATE
By Eldon & Oleva Butcher
Haubstadt, IN - May 27. Daron Clayton won the 30 lap Memorial Weekend Hoosier Tire Midwest Sprint Car Series event at Tri-State Speedway Sunday night. Clayton provided fans with a drive from deep in the pack to the front in just 18 laps. Then he added a king sized helping of dirt track doughnuts in turns one and two during his victory lap. It was the first trip to victory lane in the series for the Dark Horse Motorsports Race team this season. The Indianapolis based driver picked up $3,000 in winnings. The Maxim is owned by Gene Clayton of Clayton Motorsports, Inc.

Clayton was elated in victory lane. An occasional drop of rain did not dampen the spirit! "This was a great night. We've been looking for this night. MSCS is the best sanction right now . I love racing with them!" Clayton not only won the race but took the MSCS-Keizer AluminumWheels' Hard Charger of the Race award after moving forward 15 positions in a well balanced field of drivers.

Shane Hollingsworth and Hunter Schuerenberg shared the front row at the start of the feature in the Truckers 24 Hr. Team cars. They then shared the lead with Hollingsworth the last driver to finally give way to the Clayton charge. Critter Malone of Indianapolis, IN, finished second in the feature in the Baldwin Brothers Racing Team entry. Mat Neely of Robinson, Il, was third, Chad Boat of Phoenix, AZ, was fourth, and Mitch Wissmiller of Saybrook, IL, was fifth. Clayton and Malone were making their first starts with MSCS this season and for 15 year old Chad Boat it was his first MSCS start ever. The Arizona driver stayed in the middle of a changing top 5 the whole race.

Schuerenberg was involved in an accident that brought forth 1 of 3 red flags. However he was able to continue and was one of the 16 drivers that finished the race. There was a 3 car incident in turn three on lap two that disabled cars driven by Kevin Thomas Jr. and Kyle Wissmiller. The final red was for an accident in turn two involving John Memmer and Jonathan Vennard.

The rest of the rundown for sixth through tenth spots in the feature went to Shane Hollingsworth, Brady Short, Chris Windom, Alex Shanks, and Kyle Cummins. Danny Holtsclaw by finishing eleventh became the third different recipient of the Wilwood Tuff Brakes Award.

Alex Shanks, Critter Malone, Hunter Schuerenberg, and Shane Hollingsworth won the four qualifying heat races conducted for the 42 participants. Chris Windom won a hotly contested B-main over Bobby Stines, and Jon Sciscoe. John Paynter won the C-Main.

The Midwest Sprint Car Series has a double header weekend scheduled for June 8th and 9th. A Friday night appearance at the Morgan County Speedway in Jacksonville, IL, paying $3,000 to win will be followed by Saturday night's 50th Anniversary Race at Tri-State Speedway with a special purse granting the winner $5,050.50.
