Phillips goes wire to wire for MLRA victory at Thunder Hill Speedway



MLRA PR
MAYETTA, KS (June 21) - Saturday evening the Lucas Oil MLRA series made its way to Thunder Hill Speedway for the first time in the 2014 season. Tony Jackson Jr. set quick time overall and redrew the pole for the 40 lap feature. Terry Phillips fired from the outside pole and led every lap for the $3,000 victory.
 
"The car was good tonight," said Phillips following the race. "I didn't have much of a tire there at the end. I was trying to pass 'em (lapped cars) without using my tires up. This track's pretty wide and eventually they got out of the way."
 
Lapped traffic made the show interesting. At one point Phillips had five lapped cars squarely in front of him. Payne narrowed the gap during that portion of the event. He closed to Phillips' rear bumper, but no closer.
 
Jason Krohn made the lengthy trip south from his home in Slayton, Minnesota. He had only one race on his brand new Club 29 Race Car prior to this weekend. He picked off a few cars, and held off both Chad Simpson and Ryan Gustin to run third.


 
Next weekend the Lucas Oil MLRA will run another pair of shows. Friday night the show is at I-80 Speedway in Greenwood, Nebraska, and Saturday it is back to the state of Iowa for the annual stop at Adams County Speedway.
