Brown Makes it a Clean Sweep
Winchester, IN (August 21, 2011) -
Justin Brown made it a clean sweep of Winchester Speedway races this
weekend by winning the Vore's Welding and Steel 20 on both Saturday
and Sunday. Giving him six victories at the historic track, the most
by any Vore's Welding and Steel CRA FWD Compacts competitor, not only
at that track, but overall.
On Sunday Chad Richardson jumped out to an
early lead, but Brown hunted him down and raced with him lap after
lap, with most of the race being side by side. Brown did not lead any
of the laps, until he pulled ahead slightly in the second turn just as
Richardson blew his right front tire, hitting the wall hard. Brown
then cruised to a victory. Jeff Shelmadine took home second passing
Kyle Crump on the last lap. Crump was third, Jacob Wyman came home
fourth and Stephanie Bigelow was fifth.
"It’s great to win here, especially today. I
have to thank my sponsors my family, and my friends who come out each
time to help." Brown stated while holding his three month old son (at
his first race) in Victory Lane. "I also want to say thank you to
Charlie Shaw and Winchester Speedway for having us come race here,
Steve Vore (owner Vore’s Welding and Steel) and the CRA."
Also making it a clean sweep was Chad
Richardson who set fast time on both days, on Sunday he had a lap of
21.022 seconds. Teammate Jeff Shelmadine was second at 21.092. Justin
Brown was third, Jake Wyman fourth and Greg Isbell fifth. The invert
will be a 14 putting Aaron Teegarden on the pole, with Thomas Bigelow
on the outside of the front row.
After a brief rain delay the action has
restarted on the track with the Vore's Welding and Steel CRA FWD
Compacts heat races. In the first heat Jeff Shelmadine started in the
last row and came through the field to win just ahead of a char
charging Justin Brown who also came from the back to finish second.
The second heat also had the winner come from the back with Rick James
moving from the back to the front to hold off a hard charging Brian
Martin who again came from the back of the field to catch James, but
he could not finish the pass as they came off of the fourth turn side
by side with James on the high side able to shoot to the finish line
first.
The Saturday win was an all out sprint as
Brown assumed fast time after his car had handling issues during
qualifying. After starting back in the field, he rushed through to
get to the front, followed the leader for several laps to find a way
past him and then after driving past was pushed by Chad Richardson who
looked high and low but could not find a way to get by in the last few
laps. With five laps to go, Brown drove past Greg Isbell to take the
lead, and pulled Richardson with him. Richardson then tried several
different lines to get past, but could not find a path fast enough to
pass. Richardson had to settle for second, with Isbell third, Jeff
Shelmadine fourth and Jake Wyman fifth.
It was a clean sweep of the Vore's Welding
and Steel CRA FWD Compact heat races for the JB Racing Teams as Cary
Abrell and Justin Brown won their respective heats. Brown took the
first heat starting fourth and running to the front to hold on to the
lead with Greg Isbell second. Abrell meanwhile started seventh and
worked his way to the win over Tom Bigelow. Bigelow was forced to
hold off Steve Derouin barely holding on to second at the line.
Chad Richardson set fast time on Saturday
with a lap of 21.291 seconds. Jake Wyman was second at 21.344.
Brian Martin came in third, Justin Brown fourth and Greg Isbell
fifth. The invert for the feature will be a 12 putting Aaron
Teegarden on the pole with with Thomas Bigelow on the outside of the
front row.
The next race for the Vore’s
Welding and Steel CRA FWD Compacts will be the World Stock Car
Festival at Winchester Speedway on Labor Day Weekend, September 4-5.
The CRA Super Series, Sullivan RV CRA Late Model Sportsman, EDCO
Welding CRA Street Stocks and USA Modifieds will also be racing on
