LAMONTE, Mo. – L A Raceway had 74 cars Friday night checking in for five classes of racing. John Brooks, of Warrensburg; Jason Thompson, of Concordia; Ted Welschmeyer, of Tebbetts; Luke Skidmore, of Green Ridge; and Ryan Schlender, of Sedalia, picked up feature wins during The Bar 98.50/KOKO 1450 night at the races.

In the Pitts Homes of Warsaw B Modified feature event, Gary Lewis started on the pole after Bob Russell opted to start tailback. Lewis quickly took the lead bringing John Brooks with him leaving Tyler Lewis, who started outside row one, in third.
Colt Cheevers took third from Tyler Lewis through turns one and two on the second lap of the race. Brooks made his move for the lead over Gary Lewis that same lap going into turn three.
Brooks stretched his lead over the second place battle between Gary Lewis and Cheevers. It looked like Cheevers would accomplish his mission on lap six but had to get on the brakes to keep from spinning in turn three.
A caution caused by Christie Thomason was just the remedy that Cheevers was looking for. On the restart of lap nine, Cheevers sailed around the high side of turns one and two passing Gary Lewis and moving into second.
Cheevers was gaining ground on Brooks and just as the white flag was over the field of cars, Brooks got into lap traffic going into three and it looked like Cheevers was going to get the break he needed. Brooks gathered it back up and flew right under the lapped car. He took the feature win with Cheevers in close second. Gary Lewis finished third, Darin Claxton in fourth and Chris Brockway rounded out the top five.

After several complete restarts in the Pitts Homes of Warsaw A Modified feature event, Scotty Allen took the lead after starting in the pole position. Ed Griggs came up with the lead once out of five restarts but the one that counted wasn’t the one he lead.
Griggs fell into second for two laps until Thompson was able to move around him. Aaron Poe and Griggs battled back and forth for third place. Poe had comfortably settled into third by lap eight and Nathan Vaughn held onto fifth.
A few cautions gathered the field of cars back up but the top three cars were steady. James McMillin took fifth from Vaughn on lap 13 going into turns one and two. He took fourth from Griggs two laps later. Terry Schultz began to charge as well after having a rough start earlier in the race.
The white flag flew over the field when McMillin drove his modified in deep into turn one and made contact with Poe. This resulted in Poe spinning around and coming to a halt in top of the turns. He was finished for the night.
Racing resumed and Thompson continued to space himself from the rest of the cars. Schultz had moved into fourth behind McMillin for a brief moment until he used horsepower to drive around McMillin coming out of two. Vaughn and Terry Kirk followed Schultz.
Thompson took the checkered flag with Allen, Schultz, Vaughn and Kirk rounding out the top five.

In the Xtreme Motors Street Stocks, the nine-car field was able to finish the feature event with only one caution after the completion of lap one.
Welschmeyer took the lead over Carter and kept adding space. Dean Wille was sitting in third as the top three cars spaced themselves from the pack and each other.
Jeremy Gordon was holding solidly onto fourth until lap eight when Kevin Perkins and Scott Krause joined in to take over fourth position.
Welschmeyer crossed the finish line with a sizeable lead over the rest of the street stocks. Carter took second with Wille, Perkins and Krause rounding out the top honors.

Luke Skidmore started on the pole in the Jim’s Tire Service Hobby Stocks division with Harold Dump on the outside. Skidmore and Dump came out of turn two side by side during the start of the race. They make a little contact in the final turns on lap one and Dump came out with the lead.
On lap three, Skidmore took the lead running down the backstretch. Three laps later, Dump loses his wheel going into turn three and almost lost control of the car. He was towed to the pits and was done for the evening’s event.
This moved Michael Tyler up to battle Skidmore for the lead. Danny Crum, Stephen Tyler and Ronnie Livengood rounded out the battle for top five finishes.
Stephen Tyler took third from Crump going into turn one with just one lap left. Skidmore took the feature win by a full straight away lead. Michael Tyler, Stephen Tyler, Crum and Livengood finished in the top five.

Ryan Schlender started on the pole with Michael Schouten to his right in the Specialty Sportswear/Gill Signs 305 Sprints. Schlender quickly went to work leading the pack. Schouten and Lacy Harrison settled into the top three and were consistent throughout the race.
A couple of cautions gathered the sprinters back up but Schlender continued to pull away from the field. The second restart gave Chad Shields the advantage he needed to pass Harrison for third. Matt Close was sitting in fifth and began working on trying to get around Harrison. With only three more turns to go, Close drove his sprinter in deep on turn one and two and had to get on the brakes to not get into Harrison. He spun out and was unable to finish the race giving Cody Baker the fifth place finish.
Schlender picked up his second consecutive feature win at L A Raceway with Schouten, Shields, Harrison and Baker finishing in top honors.

Next Friday, June 25, is Pitts Homes of Warsaw night at the races. L A Raceway invites fans to come watch the A Modifieds, B Modifies, Street Stocks, Hobby Stocks and 305 Sprints hit the track to race towards the title of season champion.

June 11 - Cornell picks up Winged Outlaw Warrior feature win at L A

L A Raceway

Mother nature threatened to play havoc early in the day at yet on another night at the races June 11 at L A Raceway, but the clouds parted early and fans poured into the clay oval 3/8th track for a night of unforgettable racing.
It was the Sharpe Auto Sales/Central Automotive night at the races, as the WOW 360 Winged Sprint Cars added to the night’s excitement, making their third stop of the season to the track south of LaMonte.

Sedalia’s Jonathan Cornell and Higginsville’s Austin Alumbaugh kept the fans on the edge of their seats throughout the 20-lap feature battling wheel-to-wheel, with Cornell grabbing the honors chalking up his second WOW win of the season, both at L A Raceway.
“We’ve won two this year, both out here,” commented Cornell. “Hopefully there’s some more races out here this year, it’s been working good for us out here.”
At the drop of the green, Alumbaugh grabbed the lead coming out of turn one, with Cornell a close second working the bottom of the track. Cody Baker slid into the third spot from the outside of row two start, followed closely by Mark Shirshekan and Rusty Potter.
By lap three, the pack had just started to get lined out when Baker slid off the top of the cushion on three and four and brought out the first caution of the night, forcing him to tail the field on the restart.
On the restart lap, Potter also fell prey to the marbles on the top of three and four, bringing out another caution, sending him to the rear. This moved Shirshekan into the third spot, followed by Tyler Blank in fourth.
For the next several laps Alumbaugh started to put a little distance between himself and Cornell working the top of the track, while Cornell drove hard at the bottom trying to keep himself within striking distance.
As the race wore on the track conditions started to change and Cornell started chipping away at the lead that Alumbaugh had enjoyed.
By lap 13, Cornell had erased the leaders advantage and pulled even as they fought their way through heavy lap traffic.
“Austin started out strong and had a good first couple of laps, but I thought if I just stay patient maybe it’ll come to us,” said Cornell. “We decided to go with one setup, if it works it works and if it doesn’t it doesn’t, but the car was working good on top or bottom, which is what we needed in lap traffic.”
After following the leader for the first 16 laps, Cornell found the line he was looking for and powered his way into the lead. Alumbaugh tried several attempts to grab by the lead, but Cornell held him off to grab the checkered.
Alumbaugh held on for the runner-up spot with Shirshekan taking third. Blank followed in fourth and Eric Todd rounded out the top five.

In the A Modified feature, Concordia’s Jason Thompson made his way to the victory lane for the first time this season at LA, fighting his way through the pack to take the win from his inside fifth row start.
At the drop of the green, Urbana’s Scotty Allen grabbed the quick lead from his outside row one start, followed by current points leader Stephen Muilenburg, but Allen broke loose and slid off the cushion on three and four on the second lap sending him to the rear.
Muilenburg took over the lead on the restart, with Rick Beebe taking over second, followed by Terry Schultz and Matt Dotson.
By lap five, Schultz moved into the second spot, while Thompson had made his way through the pack to take over the fourth.
Shultz continued his push forward and grabbed the lead on the backstretch on lap eight, as Thompson continued forward and moved into third.
Two laps later, Thompson drove down low into one and two and took over the second spot, setting his eyes on Shultz in the lead.
On lap 15, Thompson again went to the inside, this time on three and four and grabbed the lead and never looked back. Shultz kept pace with the leader, but never able to take back the lead, taking second. Muilenburg took the third spot, with Beebe and Dotson rounding out the top five.

In the Street Stock feature, Dean Wille blasted into the lead from his outside row one position out of turn one and never looked back.
A battle for second and third quickly came alive, as Kevin Perkins, Victor Sims, Sundance Keepper and Ted Welschmeyer all fought for positions.
But on lap three Keepper got tangled up on three and four taking him out of contention, bringing out the caution, with Welschmeyer moving into third.
By lap five, Scott Krause and Marc Carter both broke into the top five and set their sights on the leaders.
Two laps later Welschmeyer found room at the bottom of the track on three and four and grabbed the second spot away from Perkins, with Krause a close third, while Sims was attempting to hold off a hard-charging Carter. But one lap later Carter made his move on the backstretch and slid into the fourth.
The line up would remain the same for the final five laps with Wille grabbing the checkered, followed by Welschmeyer. Perkins held on for third with Krause and Carter rounding out the top five.

It was another action packed race in the 305 Sprint Car class. Edgerton’s Ks. Mitchell Moore and Sedalia’s Ryan Schlender came into the night tied in the point’s race, and would make it a nail-biter until the checkered flag.
Moore held the pole position and jumped into the lead at the start, with Austin Alumbaugh closely behind in second, with LaMonte’s Mike Schouten edging into third and Matt McGarry in fourth.
The raced slowed on lap five when Haley Arnold got loose on three and four and brought out a caution. On the restart Schlender took advantage of the situation and fought his way into the fourth spot.
Schouten battled wheel-to-wheel with Alumbaugh for the next several laps for the second spot, but was never able to get around, meanwhile Schlender was working his own strategy and slid around Schouten on three and four on lap 13 to grab third.
One lap later, Alumbaugh lost power coming out of turn four and coasted to a stop on the front stretch, bringing out another caution and moving Schlender into second with two laps remaining. But on the restart, the track lost its lights on the backstretch, giving fans and racers a 20 minute unexpected delay.
Schlender again took advantage of the restart and blasted to the inside on one and two and grabbed the lead, and never gave Mitchell a chance on the final two laps to regain his position.
Schlender took the checkered, giving him a one-point advantage in the point standings, with Mitchell second, followed by Schouten in third. Matt Close battled up to grab fourth and Tyler Utz fought forward from his eighth place start to take fifth.

In the B-Mod feature, Colt Cheevers grabbed a quick lead at the start, but points leader Gary Lewis took over the lead on lap two.
After chasing Lewis for several laps, Cheevers made his way back into the lead on lap seven and held on until the checkered. Ernie Walker grabbed third place honors, with Josh Calvert and Cliff Hamilton rounding out the top five.

In the Hobby Stock class, Luke Skidmore grabbed his fourth feature of the season, giving him a 39-point lead in the point standings.
Skidmore wasted little time grabbing the lead from his inside row one position and made everyone else play follow-the-leader for the remainder of the race.
Jay Prevete settled into second and Michael Tyler edged into third. The top three spots would stay the same from start to finish. Steven Tyler was the man on the move during race, moving up from his 10th place start to take fourth and Ronnie Livengood finished fifth.
This Friday is The Bar 98.5/KOKO 1450 night at the races, with five big classes of racing, hot laps begin at 7p.m. races at 7:30, see you at the races.

June 4 - L A Raceway salutes military members

(Photos by Dan Hickman/L A Raceway Track Photographer)


LAMONTE, Mo. – Friday night’s racing at L A Raceway was dedicated to the men and women of the Armed Forces who have served the United States in state, federal and overseas missions.
“We feel the military is a major part of our community and has been for as long as we can remember since we reside so close to Whiteman Air Force Base,” said Carolyn White, promotions manager for L A Raceway.
Mike White, track owner, is also a Vietnam Veteran and it gives the White family a great appreciation for what the military does and they always do their best to show that support.
“We also feel that military appreciation night also makes everyone think about what we owe the members of our military and hopefully the military members feel that support,” said White.

Things were a little rough in the Gill Signs/Specialty Sportswear 305 Sprint car feature. In the start of the race, Lacy Harrison and Andrew Turley got hooked up. Turley grazed the front stretch wall and Harrison’s sprinter bouncing off all four tires in disconnected patterns resulting in Harrison’s sprinter ending up on its side.
When racing resumed, Schlender took the lead with Mitchell Moore right on his tail. Both racers are no stranger to victory circle. Moore has won two features this season, Schlender has picked up one and Matt Close claimed the other.
Schouten settled into third with the Arnold sisters, Haley and Miranda, behind him. With 10 laps complete, Matt McGarry and Randy Roberts got hooked together resulting in Roberts going for one heck of a ride crumbling his sprinter into a ball.
The single-file, bunched-upped restart is exactly what Moore need and Schlender didn’t want. Schlender drove the bottom and Moore sailed around the top of the track. When they entered turn three, Moore drove his car deep into turn three and slid up in front of Schlender making a little contact but took the lead.
Laps winded down as Schlender tried to catch Moore, but was unsuccessful. Schouten finished third with Haley and Miranda Arnold rounding out the top five.

There were several cautions in the Pitts Homes of Warsaw A Modified feature event Friday night that gave Stephen Muilenburg the edge he needed to pick up the win.
Rusty Weir began on the pole with Colson Kirk on the outside. With the drop of the green, Weir took the lead bringing Stephen Muilenburg with him. After completing lap one, Muilenburg made his move going into turn one and two and took the lead from Weir down the back stretch. Nathan Vaughn, last Friday night’s feature winner, settled into third with Terry Schultz breathing down his neck.
With six laps completed, Schultz had moved into third putting Terry Kirk on the rear bumper of Vaughn. Three laps later, Schultz took second from Weir. Gary Lewis was the driver to watch as he started eleventh and was working his way one by one through the pack.
For several laps, Lewis and Justin Moon were battling back and forth in mid-pack. On lap 11, Lile picked off Moon coming out of turn two and then took sixth from Christopher Moon coming out of turn four.
Justin Moon caused the fifth caution of the night when he slammed into the front stretch wall showering the front stretch with sparks and parts.
On lap 17 of racing, Weir was holding steady in third until he got his modified out of sync. He was able to gather it back together but forfeited three positions. A caution caused by Ralph King gathered the cars together again with just two laps left. On the restart, Weir ran over the cone sending him to the tail of the field.
Schultz found the cushion he wanted on the high side of the track while Muilenburg was running the low side. As the laps winded down, Muilenburg drifted up to make sure he could keep the lead over Schutlz, who is definitely no stranger to the winner’s circle or the 3/8-mile track for that matter.
Muilenburg held off Schultz for the feature win. Terry Kirk took third, Lile finished fourth and Vaughn finished fifth.
With the two spin rule in effect, accidents and malfunctions, the A Modified class started with 20 cars and ended with eleven crossing the finish line.

In the Xtreme Motors Street Stocks, Ted Welschmeyer started on the pole with Scott Krause on his right. Krause is a past fast track champion and wasn’t going to give up easily. Racing came to a halt after cars got crossed up in turn two resulting in Danny Carroll landing on his top.
Racing resumed and the battle for the lead was heating up. After a few laps, Krause took the lead and wasn’t going to let Welschmeyer have it. Krause had stretched his lead over Welschmeyer out but got dangerously high in turns three and four and had to back out of it.
A caution flew as David Thompson looped his street stock in the bottom of turn two with just two laps left, reeling Krause back in for Welschmeyer.
Welschmeyer tried to pick off Krause, but it was no good. The checkered flag flew and Krause took the feature win. Welschmeyer, Kevin Perkins, Allen Perryman and Jeremy Gordon finished in the top honors.

In the Pitts Homes of Warsaw B Modified, Chris Brockway and Colt Cheevers began on the front row after picking up the heat race wins of the evening.
Brockway and Cheevers went into turn one side by side, but Cheevers looked like he got “shot out of a colt gun,” according to track announcer Bob Ramey. Jeremy Lile fell into third with Ernie Walker and Tyler Lewis in behind him.
By the completion of lap four, Cheevers had built up a strong lead over the battle for second. On lap 10, Lile pulled up beside Brockway as they raced down the backstretch. At the completion of the next lap, Lile moved into second.
Cheevers took the checkered flag with about a half track lead over the second placed Lewis. Brockway finished third with Tyler Lewis and Dean Wille finishing in the top five. Tyler Lewis was unable to pass technical inspections after the race moving Wille into fourth and Walker into fifth.

In the Jim’s Tire Service Hobby Stocks, the young and talented Luke Skidmore once again picked up a feature win at L A Raceway this season. Skidmore made his third trip this season to the winner’s circle Friday night only being beat out last week by Jay Prevete.
With the start of the race, Skidmore and Prevete began battling where the left off last week until Prevete began losing part to his left rear wheel.
When racing resumed, Michael Tyler stepped up to pressure Skidmore for the trophy. With four laps remaining, Skidmore had stretched the lead out over Tyler by a full straight away.
Taking third in the feature was Douglas Coffey. Steven Tyler and Ronnie Livengood rounded out the top five for the event.
The Missouri National Guard provided military vehicle displays and Soldiers to present the trophies to the night’s winners.
