Weaver Knocks Out Competition for Shamrock victory at Cleveland Speedway



by Chris Tilley
CLEVELAND, TN (March 9) - In a caution-free roughly twelve minute main event, Randy Weaver of Crossville, TN showed why he is the defending Southern All Stars Dirt Racing Series Champion by claiming his first Shamrock 50 event win at Cleveland, TN worth $10,000.

Weaver, along with defending SAS Blue/Gray 100 winner Mike Marlar of Winfield, TN and former SAS Champion Billy Ogle Jr. made the SHOW by swapping the lead multiple times, while the lap leaders in the final stats wasn’t indicative of how good the race actually was, the fans sure saw a great one on a cool spring evening. Weaver came to victory lane in the Precision One Trailer Parts, Outlaw Race Parts, The Bailey Company and VP Race Fuels sponsored Cornett Racing Engines powered GRT Race Car.
