By Rachel Knight L A Raceway

LAMONTE, Mo. – L A Raceway threw in an extra show Wednesday night that attracted 85 cars to the track with Dustin Boney, Sundance Keepper and Matt Close picking up feature wins.

Jesse Stovall started on the pole in the Pitts Homes of Warsaw A Modified feature event. Dustin Boney started on the outside of row one.

Boney got the lead coming out of turn two with Stovall running in second. Mark Dotson and Terry Schultz were side by side, when Scotty Roberts exploded like he was coming out of a cannon into third.

Dotson moved into second at the completion of lap six. Jim Moody moved up to battle Stovall for third. The battle heated up between the two drivers and they switched leaders back and forth.

Boney took the feature win with Dotson and Stovall in third and fourth. Jim Moon finished fourth and Chad Lyle finished fifth after starting seventh.

In the Xtreme Motors Street Stocks, Sundance Keepper started on the pole and Ted Welschmeyer was to his right. After two complete restarts, Welschmeyer took the lead with Keepper right on his bumper. 

Jon Binning was sitting in third until a caution gave John Brooks the jump he needed to take it from him.

Brian Ziegler took fourth from Binning on lap six. The red flag flew over the field when Bryan Maze took a hard tumble off turn three and was fine. Racing resumed and Brooks pressured Keepper for second.

With nine complete laps, the leaders were immersed in lap traffic. 

Keepper used this to his advantage and took the lead from Welschmeyer. 

After another caution, Brooks was sent to the tail of the field for rough driving when he got into Nick Gibson and spun him out on the front stretch.

Welschmeyer tried to regain the lead from Keepper but was unable to. 

Ziegler, Michael Mullins and Jon Benning rounded out the top five finishes for the street stocks.

In the Specialty Sportswear/Gill Sign’s 305 Sprint, Matt Close started on the pole with Randall Roberts on the outside. With the drop of the green, Close quickly got busy spacing himself from the field of cars. 

Roberts was rim riding through turn one and two and went off the top losing several positions.

Ryan Schlender fell into second with Mitchell Moore behind him. 

Michael Schouten moved into fourth by lap five and was looking strong until lap 11 when he went off pace.

Close quickly jumped to the lead again. He breezed to his first feature win of the season with Schlender, Moore, Haley Arnold and Timothy Wheeler rounding out the top five finishes.
