By Kevin Kovac, WoO LMS P.R. Director
BARDSTOWN, KY – May 8, 2010 – Jimmy Owens joined the ever-growing list of 2010 World of Outlaws Late Model Series winners on Saturday night, rolling to victory in the 50-lap ‘My Old Kentucky Home Shootout’ at Bluegrass Speedway.
Owens, 38, of Newport, Tenn., grabbed the lead from Steve Francis of Ashland, Ky., on lap two and never looked back in the national tour’s inaugural visit to the high-banked, half-mile oval. He survived a stern mid-race challenge from another Kentuckian, Darrell Lanigan of Union, to become the 11th different victor in 12 WoO LMS events this season.
