Lawrenceburg,
IN. (Sept.
30) Shane
Cottle of Kokomo, IN, won the 2006 SK Construction
Lawrenceburg Fall Classic Sprint Nationals.
The race had a $10,000 accompanying prize put
up by promoter Tom Wieck.
Cottle was behind the wheel of the Edison
Motorsports sprint sponsored by Crume-Evans
Insurance and RG Enterprises.
Cottle started ninth in the 24 car, big 50
lap feature for the Hoosier Tire MSCS sprint cars.
He was in fifth place in just 6 laps and in
third place at the 17th lap.
His chance to take the lead followed a front
stretch incident involving the first and second
place cars of Jerry Coons Jr. and Levi Jones.
Coons and Jones had started on the front row
side by side and were running nose-to- tail when
Coons found himself doing a 360 at maximum speed
following contact from Jones’ car.
Coons made an unbelievable save and drove out
of the spin and back into the fray losing just 3
spots.
Cottle had the lead and would not ever
relinquish it.
Jones due to a win the night before the
Classic could have won an extra $1,000 if he could
have somehow made a pass.
Cottle, who had not raced Friday night, would
do the job nicely for the posted 10 grand.
Jones was second in an event in which lapped
traffic would never become a problem.
Casey Shuman finished third, Daron Clayton
fourth, and Brady Short was fifth.
Rounding out the top ten were Jerry Coons
Jr., Jon Stanbrough, Cole Whitt, Alex Shanks, and
Dickie Gaines.
Briscoe made a nice recovery to finish fifth
on a night that the speedway and MSCS recognized his
car owner and father Dick Briscoe as the Grand
Marshall for the event.
AJ Anderson was 12th.
Kyle Cummins headed the second half of the
field after avoiding trouble early in a wet, muddy
trip through the infield in turn four.
A new car count record was established for
MSCS with 70 racecars on hand despite threatening
weather conditions.
Seven heat races, 2 C-Mains, and 2-B mains
followed to set the field for the feature.
Cole Whitt, Shane Hollingsworth, Kyle
Cummins, Jerry Coons Jr., Levi Jones, Casey Shuman,
and Daron Clayton advanced with heat race wins.
Young Guns Chris Windom and Bret Burdette
would keep hopes alive with C-Main victories.
AJ Anderson and Scotty Weir would win the two
B-mains.
The two Lawrenceburg point leaders Tony
Beaber and Troy Link took provisionals as did Dale
Christian and Brady Short for MSCS. Short who could
have missed the event as the first alternate turned
a provisional opportunity into a great run advancing
19 spots. Short
was the race’s Mike’s Motors Hard Charger Award
winner.
Two special races were run as added
attractions Saturday night.
The very popular and excitingYoung Guns Race
Sponsored by Armstrong Farms was won by 15 year old
Cole Whitt of Alpine, CA.
Second and third went to Chris Windom and
Chris Babcock.
The Race of Champions was won by former MSCS
Support Series Champion Chase Stockon with Mike
Miller and Dickie Gaines in pursuit!
The 18 year old Stockon was also fourth in
the Young Guns competition helping this night’s
special attractions to become a Young Guns
Explosion. Each
event paid $200 to win!
The season is now over for the MSCS Sprint
Car Series. The
final night’s run for Alex Shanks of Marion, IL,
produced a third consecutive Hoosier Tire MSCS
Points Championship.
Shanks and points runner-up Kyle Cummins both
made the feature Saturday night with Shanks
finishing 4 spots ahead of Cummins.
The two had been tied in points after Friday
night’s race and Saturday was an ever important
night for both!
