World of Outlaws Late Model Series News & Notes: Overton’s Jackpot 100 Performance, Lanigan’s Struggles & Roberts Appeal Results

By Joshua Joiner, WoO LMS PR

CONCORD, N.C. – May 28, 2015 – Brandon Overton led 80 of the 100 A-Main laps completed during Tyler County Speedway’s Jackpot 100 doubleheader over Memorial Day weekend, yet the leading rookie on the World of Outlaws Late Model Series left Middlebourne, W.Va., still looking for his first series victory.

The weekend’s two races played out nearly identically with Overton leading most of the way until Josh Richards of Shinnston, W.Va., took command in the closing laps of both events. Overton fell to third after leading 36 of 40 laps in Saturday’s feature and ended up fifth in Sunday’s 60-lap finale after leading 44 circuits.

On the positive side, Overton logged two solid top-five finishes and passed WoO LMS points leader Shane Clanton of Zebulon, Ga., for the most A-Main laps led on this year’s tour with 129 laps led to Clanton’s 114.

But Overton is no longer content merely leading laps and notching top five finishes. With confidence in both his ability and his MasterSbilt by Huey Race Car, the 24-year-old Evans, Ga., racer knows he can contend for victories on the national level; now he’s ready for a breakthrough.
