BRIGHTON, Ont. – June 20, 2015 – Josh Richards was fast all night at Saturday’s Dibbits Excavating and Vanderlaan Building Products Mud Slinger 50 presented by Excel Tower Service at Brighton Speedway. But in the final 10 laps, the three-time World of Outlaws Late Model Series champion needed more patience than speed to claim his fourth series victory of the season.
After leading from the start of the 50-lap race, Richards, 27, of Shinnston, W.Va., expertly picked his way through heavy traffic during the race’s closing laps and held off points leader Shane Clanton’s furious late charge to win the second round of the Great Northern Tour in a side-by-side finish at the third-mile oval.
