Reece Wickard took home the gold in the Kasey Kahne Juniors Division on 7/23
DEMING – Eric Drake put on an absolute clinic in the 1200 Division at Deming Speedway on Triple X Race Co night. Other winners included Jake Benson, Liam Ryan and Reece Wickard.
Like a skilled surgeon, Eric Drake sliced and cut with pinpoint precision en route to his third victory of the year in the Advanced Toys for Trucks 1200 division. After taking the lead from Frosty Metcalf on lap 2, Drake led the remaining laps of the race to take the victory, followed by Tom Waggoner and Aaron Fell. Waggoner gave Drake a small challenge on a late race restart, but Drake knew exactly where to put his car for maximum speed and held off the challenge to take the W. Heat wins belonged to Brad Davison, Clennon Holloway and Jason Bloodgood. Eric Turner set quick time.
Jake Benson finally overcame his mechanical gremlins to win the main event in the Speedmart PMP 600s. Benson led every lap of the main event after setting quick time. JR Thomas raced his way to finish second, closing on Benson in the late laps but unable to get close enough to make his move. Dustin O’Brien was third. Heat wins went to Hayden Schmidt, Shaun Holtorf, Liam Ryan and Kyle Oman.
What more can be said about Liam Ryan in the Triple X Race Co 600 restricted division? Ryan won his unprecedented 8th main event of his rookie year, making him 8 for 11 in feature wins in his debut season at Deming Speedway. Robie Price was second and Dougie James was third. Heat wins went to Jacob Brown, Tanner Reid and Nate Vaughn. Price set quick time.
Reece Wickard returned to Deming Speedway in the Kasey Kahne Junior Sprints with a victory. Substituting for an injured Spencer Constance, Wickard took an early lead and was never seriously challenged as he visited victory lane for the first time in 2010. Lynden Lebedinski took a career best second with teammate Kyle Mitchell third. Tristin Thomas was quick time. Heat winners were Wickard and Mitchell.
