WELSHAN DOUBLE's DOWN WITH SATURDAY VICTORY at CLEVELAND

by Steve Hixson
Cleveland, TN (4/21/12) --- Officials with Cleveland (TN) Speedway will be rethinking their idea on offering a DOUBLE DOWN bonus between itself and its sister track Boyd's Speedway in Ringgold/Chattanooga. This weekend Jason Welshan of Maryville, Tennessee followed the suit of Kevin Gibson last weekend completing back to back victories at the two tracks when he won the 30-lap LLM/Crate feature Saturday night. The FLYIN' WELSHAN BRIGADE pulled into victory lane after a dog-fight of a battle with Tod Hernandez in the early stages of the feature. Unfortunately Hernandez runner-up finish would be nullified when he refused a post-race protest from Fast-Qualifier/third place finisher Justin Litchford. The LITCHMOB would settle for second at the pay window with Lil' John Ownbey (also a winner Friday at Boyd's) rounding out the Top-3. The Hidden Hollow Motorsports #29 "B&M Concrete, Competition Racing Equipment, Ronald Sexton Construction, Centerline Construction, Bearden Oil, Hicks & Law Insurance, Jon's Golf-Carts, Smith's Auto Repair, Schenfeld Headers, Stealth Racing Carburators, Outlaw Graphix, Harrison Concrete, Bob Cat of Knoxville/Chattanooga, The Half-Barrel, Bearden Fieldhouse, Shorty Shocks Service, Mighty Muffler, Bakers Transmission" sponsored MasterSbilt / Bill Bunch powered Cindy & Roger Kerr, Gary Rofle owned racecar touted the Front Row Joe starting honors along with Hernandez and followed the heat #2 winner for almost 12 of the first 30-circuits. Welshan wrestled the lead from the #T6 machine as small cautions waved over the next 18 laps for Tyler Adams, Michael Arp a few others. The win marks #4 on the 2012 season coming at three diffenent tracks. Fans wishing to follow the team, can look up Jason Welshan Racing on the social media web-site FACEBOOK and send him a friends request.
