BACK TO BACK

Ward wins again

Jeff Ward made it 2 in a row at Lucas Oil Raceway beating Matthew Kingsbury who also finished 2nd last week and yet again on another late restart. The green flag would drop on lap 95 giving Jeff just 5 laps to hold off Matt. It seems as though Jeff is getting used to these kinds of late race dashes for the win.

For the 2nd week in a row, Matthew Kingsbury would finish 2nd, Mike Kelley 3rd, John Hensley 4th and Robert Lynn rounding out the top 5.

Almost 50% of the race was run under yellow. After interviewing quite a few drivers, it seemed like it was either the tire or weather conditions that caused the problems.

Jenkins Motorsports seems to be on a roll the past couple of weeks with 2 1-2 finishes. After the race, we caught up with team owner Toby Jenkins to ask him about the recent success. "We have a fleet of great drivers. We ended up signing contracts right before the season started and man am I happy we did."
