'Rocket Man' Josh Richards Wins $20,000 in NDRL Debut at Paducah

NDRL Media
PADUCAH, Kentucky (April 12) - On a cool April evening the National Dirt Racing League came to fruition as the series hosted their inaugural event at Paducah International Raceway (Paducah, Kentucky). A near capacity crowd and a pit area that saw the overflow parking overflowing with drivers from approximately twenty states set the tone for the night.

The night began with Shannon Babb claiming the Keyser Manufacturing Fast Qualifier honor by registering a lap of 14.531 seconds around the 3/8 mile oval over the fifty-five car field. Heat race action was topped by Eric Wells, Josh Richards, Don O'Neal, Steve Francis, Jared Landers, and Scott Bloomquist, and the redraw for the feature positioned Landers and Richards on the front row for the 75 lap finale.

Landers blazed to the lead at the drop of the green flag and held down the top spot until turn one on the fourth lap, when Richards used a slide job to take over the lead. Once out front Richards motored away from the field as Landers, Don O'Neal, and Scott Bloomquist mixed it up in the top five. By lap 10 O'Neal and Landers were side by side for second, while Richards maintained a comfortable lead until caution flew on lap 12 for a slowing Craig Smith. The race returned to green flag conditions briefly until lap 15 when Smith slowed again with mechanical issues.

A few laps later the race's complexion took another dramatic change when fourth running John Blankenship (started seventeenth) retired abruptly from the race on lap 29, and two laps later Don O'Neal saw his night come to a sudden end with his own issues as he drew the yellow flag.

At the time of the caution the top five running order consisted of Richards, Babb, Owens, Moyer, and Bloomquist. On the ensuing restart Owens shot to second on the restart, and over the next several laps began to pressure Richards for the lead. The battle for the lead would continue to rage for the next several laps before Richards began to stretch his advantage over the final twenty laps.

Despite a handful of cautions in the final laps Richards pulled away to a straightaway win over Jimmy Owens, Jimmy Mars, Billy Moyer, and Scott Bloomquist.

In victory lane Richards commented on the hard work of the track staff. "This race was really fun tonight, and while the track was a little rough in some areas, the track crew did a great job after the monsoons that fell here yesterday."

He was quick to note how fun the racing was with his competitors. "O'Neal and Owens really drove me clean tonight, and I've got to thank them for that." He concluded by noting, "This car was awesome tonight, and I have to give so much credit to my crew. They really made my job easier tonight."

In the UMP Open Wheel Modifieds a talented field of thirty-seven competitors were on hand, and Mike Harrison charged from his third starting spot to take the lead on lap five from Josh Harris. Once out front he checked out from the field in the caution-free event to claim the win over Ken Schrader, Chad Kinder, Jason Krohn, and Matt Mevert.

Jimmy Owens Gets Dirty with $20,000 Triumph in NDRL Slugfest at I-55

NDRL Media
PEVELY, Missouri (April 13) While his night might have not started with the best of scenarios, when the final checkered flag dropped on the finale Jimmy Owens was all smiles after claiming the $20,000 triumph with the National Dirt Racing League (NDRL) at Federated Auto Parts Raceway at I-55 in Pevely, Missouri.

A beautiful afternoon graced the Let's Get Dirty 75 at the Missouri oval as fifty of the nation's best Super Late Models rolled into Pevely, Missouri for the huge event. Friday night's winner at Paducah International Raceway, Josh Richards, began the night by registering the Keyser Manufacturing Fast Time Award with a 13.457 second lap around the 1/3 mile oval. He would go on to win the first heat race and was joined by fellow heat winners, Eddie Carrier Jr., Jimmy Mars, Dennis Erb Jr., Jason Feger, and Billy Moyer, in the evening's redraw for the 75 lap finale.

The redraw found Eddie Carrier Jr. receiving the pole position for the feature with Billy Moyer joining him on the front. When the green flag dropped, Moyer, who has enjoyed considerable success at the facility, jumped to the lead with Mars, Carrier Jr., and Richards in tow. Moyer paced the early laps as Mars fended advances from Richards for the second position.

The event was slowed for the first time on lap 8 when Scott Bloomquist slowed with rear end issues, and at the time of the caution the top five running order consisted of Moyer, Mars, Richards, Carrier Jr., and Feger. On the restart Moyer raced away from the pack, and three laps later Richards found his way into second. By lap 20 the field was approaching lap traffic, and Richards narrowed the gap between himself and Moyer. Three laps later the Shinnston, West Virginia piloted bolted to the lead.

With Richards out front the race endured a long, green flag run, and onlookers began to note that 23rd starting Tim Fuller found his way into the top ten by lap 24. The next several laps saw great racing throughout not only the top ten but also the field. Brian Birkhofer worked his way into the third spot by lap 32 and set his sights on Moyer and leader, Richards. Behind the front four Brandon Sheppard quickly made his presence known as he and Tim Fuller diced for position in the top five.

Another driver on the move was twelfth starting, Jimmy Owens, who overcame struggles in qualifying to race from the sixth starting spot in his heat to a second place finish. Owens found his way into the top five on lap 34 as he glued his mount to the low side of the track. Seven laps later he advanced to the third spot, and two laps later Owens passed Jimmy Mars for second. As Owens began to get faster Richards began to slow, and the Newport, Tennessee racer jumped to the lead on lap 46. Three laps later Richards slowed with a flat tire as he headed pit side for a fresh right-rear tire.

The ensuing restart saw Owens come under fire from Jimmy Mars and Brian Birkhofer, but as the race again went through another long green flag run Jimmy Owens motored away to the feature win. Brian Birkhofer secured the second position in the closing laps and was followed across the finish line by Jimmy Mars, Billy Moyer, and Brandon Sheppard.

"I really let my crew down in time trials because I didn't do my job, but I think this win makes up for it," Jimmy Owens said with a smile in victory lane. "This place was really racy tonight, and I caught myself racking my brain trying to decide where I needed to be. I hope the fans really enjoyed the show because it was a lot of fun."

In the UMP Open Wheel Modified feature, former Super Late Model national standout Mark Miner, raced from his pole starting spot to claim the feature win over Jason Krohn, Matt Mevert, Kenny Rumble, and Michael Long. A talent-laden of forty-two competitors entered the program.
