Drake nabs fourth place in Lucas
Oil Late Model Dirt Series event in Ohio
BLOOMINGTON, Ill. (April 15) - Billy Drake Racing traveled to
Chillicothe Ohio over the weekend and competed in a Lucas Oil
Late Model Dirt Series sanctioned event at K-C Raceway. The
50-lap feature event paid $10,000 to the winner and valuable
points towards the series national point's standings. Billy
would qualify 19th fastest out of the 52 drivers entered for
the event. Billy then would finis a strong second place in his
heat race to earn a 7th place starting position for the
feature. Billy would run in the top ten all night and moved
into the top 5 after halfway of the 50-lap event. Billy would
battle among the leaders and finish a strong 4th place at the
checkers. The 4th place finish was Billy's first top five
finish of the season on the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series
in 2008. Billy has now moved up to 9th place in the series
national points standings.
"It was a good run for us to finally get a decent finish.
We've run good at most places just suffered bad luck and got
caught up in other people's wrecks a lot this year. Our
Mastersbilt chassis worked really well tonight and it was a
good solid run for our team, sponsors and my crew that has
been working hard this year. Hopefully we can continue to get
more top fives and get a win on the series soon", stated
Billy.

action and will concentrate on getting prepared for a pair of
