Webb Wins 7^th Annual My Old Kentucky Home Shootout at Bluegrass Speedway

Bardstown, KY-June 27, 2009- It was the 7^th Annual My Old Kentucky Home Shootout at Bluegrass Speedway on Saturday evening and David Webb of Nicholasville, KY would grab his second win of the season in 44 Auto Mart Super Late Model action and become the first repeat winner in the division at the track in 2009.  Other feature event winners for the evening included Timmy Glazer of Bardstown, KY in Street Stocks, Michael England of Glasgow, KY in Modifieds, and Avral Thompson of Loretto, KY in WBRT 1320-AM Sportsman.

The start of the 30 lap, $2,000 to win 44 Auto Mart Super Late Model main event would see polesitter David Webb spin his machine entering turn one to draw the caution.  Under track rules without a lap completed, all caution cars go back into their original starting position, so when the green flag waved again, Lee Devasier would jump to the race lead, followed by Webb, Johnny Wheeler, Justin Rattliff, and Jason Keltner.  Scotty Earl would take fifth from Keltner on lap 2, only to have Keltner retake the spot one trip later.  The only other caution of the event appeared on lap 5 when Clarence Belcher spun his mount in turn two.  Back underway, Devasier continued to hold the top spot, with Webb still in pursuit.  Wheeler and Rattliff would begin to battle for third, with Rattliff taking the position on lap 6.  Devasier would pull out to a five car length lead by lap 10, while Rattliff began to close on Webb for second.  As the field saw the halfway signal, Webb had closed in on Devasier a bit, while Rattliff, Wheeler, and Keltner remained in the top five.  The leaders would start working traffic on lap 16 and it would be two circuits later on lap 18 when Webb would fire a slidejob pass attempt on Devasier in turn three.  The pair would contact exiting turn four, with Webb taking the race lead and Rattliff going past Devasier for second in the process.  With Webb and Rattliff pulling away a bit from Devasier, Keltner would begin to challenge Wheeler for fourth and after a side-by-side battle, Keltner would take the fourth spot on lap 23.  With Webb and Rattliff attempting to settle the issue among themselves up front, Keltner began to close in Devasier for third, while Jeff Watson was working Wheeler for the fifth spot.  Watson would finally win this battle and claim fifth on lap 27, with Keltner working past Devasier for third as the field received the white flag.  But up front, Webb would hold off Rattliff’s challenges and score the win in the David and John Webb owned, ORS Auto Body and Collision/Valvoline/Marine Works/JDB Contracting/Dominator Race Products/FSR Racing Products/VP Race Fuels/PPM Racing Products sponsored #13w C.J. Rayburn Race Cars, Pro Power Race Engines unit.  The remainder of the top five would be Rattliff, Keltner, Devasier, and Watson.  Completing the top ten were Wheeler, Scotty Earl, Michael Chilton, Jerry Rutherford, and Ed Behn.  Keltner would be top qualifier among 18 entries, with Webb winning the dash, while Chilton won the heat.

The 12 lap Street Stock feature event would see Timmy Glazer take the lead at the start of the race and never look back in picking up his third Street Stock division feature victory of the season and an extra $100 courtesy of First South Credit in the seat of his Cecil Transmission/Tech 1/Chaney Signs and Graphics sponsored #93 Chevy Monte Carlo, Sam Murphy Race Engines powered machine.  Johnny Cecil would take runner-up honors, with third through fifth going to Brad Leake, Terry Bartley, and Scott Thompson.  Nine entries would see Glazer be top qualifier, with Terry Bartley winning one of the best heat events of the season in any division at the track.

The 20 lap Modified feature event would see last week’s winner Michael England take the lead at the start of the race and fend off repeated challenges from Benji Lee to capture his second-straight Modified feature win behind the wheel of the Team WompusCat owned, Williams and Tucker Auto Parts/Team WompusCat/Jeffries Auto Salvage/Davis Machine/Kelvin Wilson Dozing/ Horton Racing/Water Head Motorsports sponsored #10.5 Lightning Chassis, Pro Power Race Engines mount.  Lee would claim second, with Dion Benningfield coming home in third, while Rocky Wilson and Josh Lucas would complete the top five.  Rounding out the top ten were Johnny Lee, Adam Cole, Randall Basham, Butch Barber, and Randy Turpin.  Sixteen entries would see heat race checkered flags scored by Lucas and England.

The WBRT 1320-AM Sportsman feature event would see Avral Thompson hold off the challenges of Roger Cecil over the final four laps of the 15 lap feature event and capture his first Sportsman feature win of the season at Bluegrass Speedway behind the wheel of his Backyard Bounce/El Jimador Mexican Restaurant/Teamsters Local 89/Thompson Heat and Air/Hawk’s Place/Cozy Corner/High Grove Grocery/Cox’s Wrecker Service/Nalley’s Exhaust sponsored #44 Chevy Malibu, Dale Meers Race Engines powered racer.  Cecil would finish a close second, with Rob Jones, Pat Hagan, and Sam Mull completing the top five.  Eleven entries saw heat race wins taken by Jones and Thompson.
