Shane Clanton rolls to Lernerville Speedway victory
By Ben Shelton (Zebulon, GA) -- Shane Clanton invaded Lernerville Speedway on Friday night to do some testing for the facilities’ upcoming Firecracker 100. A night of testing and tuning turned into the second win of 2019 for the driver of the Weldbank Energy #25 Super K Express/ Capital Race Cars/ Clements Racing Engine Super Late Model.
“We were looking forward to entering three events in Pennsylvania and New York, but rain cut it back to just Friday night’s event at Lernerville,” Clanton said. “The win was a shot in the arm, especially considering we had to do it from the 10th-starting spot due to the redraw after the heat race. We were able to get some good notes for when we go back up there next month for the Firecracker 100.”

Shane Clanton rolled into Lernerville Speedway (Sarver, Pennsylvania) on Friday night for a Weekly Racing Series Event in the Precise Racing DIRTcar Super Late Model division. Shane started his night with a heat race win. He then drew the 10th-starting spot for the feature in the redraw.
Clanton wasted little time in working his way to the lead in the 25 lapper. Once out front he cruised to the victory, which was his second of the 2019 season. Ken Schaltenbrand, Jared Miley, Tyler Dietz, and Clayton Kennedy completed the Top-5 finishers.
Saturday night’s event at Stateline Speedway(Busti, New York) and Sunday’s race at Eriez Speedway (Erie, New York) with the ULTIMATE Northeast Late Model Series both fell victim to rain.
