Frank, 53, of Bear Lake, Pa., heads into Lernerville’s ninth annual Firecracker 100 presented by GottaRace.com this weekend with plenty of confidence in his new Longhorn Chassis after a much-improved first half of the 2015 season. He hopes to be among the contenders during Lernerville’s blockbuster weekend, which features three nights of WoO LMS action that include preliminary race programs on Thursday and Friday ahead of Saturday’s $30,000-to-win Firecracker 100 finale.

WEEDSPORT, N.Y. – June 23, 2015 – Shane Clanton made the most of the World of Outlaws Late Model Series’ trip to New York.

Completing a sweep of the national tour’s two 2015 Empire State stops, Clanton, 39, of Zebulon, Ga., led every lap of Tuesday night’s Finger Lakes 40 at Weedsport Speedway to earn an $8,650 victory in the final round of the WoO LMS Great Northern Tour.

Clanton’s series-leading sixth WoO LMS victory of the season followed his win in the Great Northern Tour opener at Fonda (N.Y.) Speedway on June 18 and a runner-up finish in the northern trek’s other completed event at Brighton (Ont.) Speedway on June 20. He’ll look to put an exclamation point on the WoO LMS early-summer trip north when the series heads to Lernerville Speedway in Sarver, Pa., this weekend for the $30,000-to-win Firecracker 100 presented by GottaRace.com.

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.

FONDA, N.Y. – June 18, 2015 – Just as the World of Outlaws Late Model Series enters a busy stretch of early-summer action, Shane Clanton is showing signs of another potential hot streak on the national tour.

Clanton, who jumped out to an early lead in this year’s WoO LMS championship chase with four victories in the tour’s first seven races, returned to victory lane for the first time since his February win streak Thursday night at Fonda Speedway with a dominating performance in the opening round of the four-race Great Northern Tour.

The $8,550 victory stretched Clanton’s lead in the WoO LMS standings to 98 points and gives the 39-year-old Zebulon, Ga., racer plenty of momentum as the tour tackles a stretch of seven races in 10 days between the four-race Great Northern Tour and Lernerville Speedway’s three-race Firecracker 100 weekend presented by GottaRace.com.

Three-Time WoO LMS Champion Hopes to End Season-Long Winless Streak & Gain Ground in Title Chase During New York & Canada Races & Lernerville’s Big Weekend

By Joshua Joiner, WoO LMS PR

CONCORD, N.C. – June 17, 2015 – Darrell Lanigan knows that time for him to make up ground in the World of Outlaws Late Model Series championship chase is running out. Luckily for Lanigan, 45, of Union, Ky., the next two weeks set up nicely for the three-time and defending WoO LMS champion to begin a mid-season push for his record fourth series title.

Lanigan, who has yet to win on this year’s WoO LMS campaign and is currently 110 points behind leader Shane Clanton of Zebulon, Ga., in third in the series standings, will join the rest of the WoO LMS regulars in a stretch of seven series races over the final two weeks of June. With the majority of those races taking place at tracks where Lanigan typically runs well, he knows he needs to take advantage of the upcoming events if he’s going to have any shot at challenging Clanton and second-place Josh Richards of Shinnston, W.Va., for the $100,000 WoO LMS championship.
