four tires up but he's got front end damage on this race car the left front is folded under just a little bit they're going to have to get a jack underneath that race car and try to get the left front up off the ground because right now they can't even get fingers underneath that but they got 1 2 3 4 Five Guys down here trying to do that Cory Lawler behind him right now is Amanda wayy Amanda Robinson down here helping with the number 93 at Cory Lawler's car Cory just kind of shaking his hands in the air right now as if he doesn't know what the Miss is on the number 93 well we've got three laps in the book 71 to go on the bler concrete Farmer City 74 Jonathan Davenport's your leader and James every time DJ's talked to him tonight he's he's talked about he's not comfortable in the race car but he's been out front every time he's been on the racetrack so those guys in the back trying to make their way to the front so they just don't want to get lapped here early on we say that all

as we've got a new at a d waren Power Sports caution out and it is Mike Spa in turn number two Mike Spa draws the day born pow Sports caution and you know what they say cautions breed cautions as Mike sple will get a turn back around look like we will have a replay of that we'll see if Spa just rejoins the back of the pack or heads to the heartbeat hot sauce hot pit so here's our replay here on MAF TV on Flow racing that's a lot of cars that's a lot of cars can you imagine that at making he just got around he just turned it around there so he will go to the back so four in the books it's Davenport Garrett Smith Overton Troutman Alberton maror B thoron hoffen going to serve your top 10 then Moran Simpson fager boom and Ryan Gustin in 1550 so we'll single them out and then we'll double them up hey guys real quick down here in the heartbeat hot sauce hot bit no action during this day dor and Power Sports caution I did however grab a w with Cory Lawler during that last day waren Power Sports caution uh whenever everyone kind of got bottled up in front of him and him and Brian Shirley got together he said it actually knocked the radiator back into the race car he is done for the night thank you very much Dustin as Cory Lawler out of the party he'll make his debut tomorrow at Faberry Speedway there's a handful of drivers are going to be making their first trip to Faberry and we hope there's a lot of new faces in the stand going to be a gorgeous day tomorrow Faberry Illinois looking forward to seeing everybody over there and go to Lucas dirt.com for all the upcoming schedule in a couple of weeks we're all going to roll into Wheatland Missouri for the Lucas loyal show me 100 as Crown Jewel season officially comes to life in dirt late model racing and hopefully Mother Nature goes on vacation for a while Let's us all get all these races in the books we're going to a drought now right it w until November then we'll be complaining cuz it's not raing cuz that's what we do well lights are out James we're going to come back to the nutrient act solution start Zone it's up to Jonathan Davenport to get back on the loud pedal we're back underway four downs 70 to go here tonight at Farmer City Darren Smith will follow him into one here comes over that works the top on the bottom is Drake Troutman maror to Fifth and alberon at sixth Davenport is Led from the drop of the green as he comes off at turn number four Troutman and GRE Troutman had a run on Smith had to back out of it in at turn number one as out of turn number two as you see maror trying to work the top shelf in the 157 bin James it seems like these guys can move around in three and four one and two the bottom is just the place to be right now until he gives up I don't know if you're going to see anybody really step to the outside Mar's going to give it a shot and he's going to lose ground everybody lose loses ground in the middle one and two three and four though you can move around in those race cars and now tropman steps to the outside of Garett Smith you saw Albertson kick up some mud there going and oh try try the cross over and Overton and here comes marer up to the top as they come out at two Down The Backs right away so marer and Alberton to that top shelf still a long way to go as we work lap number eight at Farmer City yeah this is a long feature and I think as that bottom starts to give up they throw that crumb across the middle that it might start to bring that top in but right now the bottom is just too good and you see your Front Runners that's where they're making ground but Ks are really trying to get the top side of his racetrack working down the main straight away there's Troutman and alberon going at it there's maror lighting them up in a turn one in the Greg broing Skyline Motorsports 157 looking for a top four spot as we head to elor later New Year they run for $200,000 Championship cowman's got a good H rck Cody Overton that Excel chassis right now but davp leads been 9/10 of a second the advantage over the rest of the field Davenport a four-time winner this year two with the series the other two came at Lucas Loy Speedway he swept the Lucas Oil ml Spring Nationals and you know he's ready to get back to the show me 100 he leads the way and they are catching the back of the pack if we stay green probably in the next handful of laps they will catch the back of the pack and it's going to get interesting she sheer has dropped to the back of the pack and a little bit of white smoke starting to trail out of the back of that B5 yeah tough go here tonight for the longhorn Factory car and to take a series provisional he L tith on the point still maintains perfect attendance as Davenport there you see the B5 out at turn number two so 13 laps in the books Davenport Garrett Smith Overton trowman marer to fifth in the 157 and you got to think oh hang on and we're going to I was going to say we need a Dave waren po Sports caution if you're the leader and it's going to come at the expense of Carson Ferguson as he got turned around out of turn four and right now there's probably not a bigger D waren power sports fan than Jonathan Davenport cuz he was going to have some tough decisions to make they were three wide at the back of the pack and that will slow the action with 13 down and 62 to go here tonight at Farmer City Raceway yeah don't forget a chance to win the register for that Dave Warren segway.com and it's a 2024 segue ut10 side by side get given away to Elora and not sure from your vantage point is that a rear end I'm not sure uh Dustin on the B5 but he's dropped back to 27 yeah I couldn't tell either I actually had a real good look at that race car from the perch up here in the middle of the infield but very candidly guys just could not get a good enough look at it to see exactly what it is on Brandon Shepard meanwhile Carson Ferguson is going to bring that pay Motorsports number 93 down here to the attention of his crew as uh they are going to work they have got I bet they have got 20 lbs of mud chocked up against the spoiler on that race car as several crew members are down there getting that mud taken off the race car right now guys well we may have to have a caution for replace helmets we've seen that before at some tracks yeah this race track I mean this Shephard is down here if we can get a shot of Shepard as he has yeah he's going to stop and I think they're going to take a look at that car and think they're telling him what we're see if we yeah yeah there's some looks like some fluid there yeah that may be more than I don't know hard to speculate you don't know so he'll drop to the back of the pack they're going to double him up and once again Garrett Smith wants the inside that's going to put Cody Overton to his outside and if anybody can figure out the top of turns one and two that could be a game changer in this one James yeah marlor and alberon have stayed married up there pretty well to that top Cody Overton's running a good race right now in that ton Center crew chief 97 and third so it's Davin Port Smith Overton Troutman maror Albertson thoron Dennis herb Jr bab is ninth Chris Simpson runs in 10th right now an early Contender for the uh Todd steel buildings hard charger Hudson O'Neal 25th 18 there we go back green at the neutr solutions restart Zone B and they're off into one and two oh Cody Overton off the front straightway just a little bit gets his feet back under him and honestly probably gets one of the better runs through one and two that we've seen anybody get so far off into three and four he'll duck back down to the bottom now thoron goes to the top side of the speedway he started back in eighth he's on the Move he's up to Fourth here comes rtj he looked to the outside of Cody over to through the middle of one and two just can't quite grab grip but we'll keep an eye on that 20 RT off into three and four as he goes to the top side of a Speedway and that's the battle for third coming at you as we work complete lap 15 across the loop into one DAV Fort Garrett Smith Ricky Thoren Jr in car number 20rt he started uh he started eigh and I think he's found something he's found the top at three and four one and two he Ducks back to the bottom he got around Overton for third he's going to try to roll the middle through one and two this time and man just can't grab a hold of anything Smith will pull away down the back straightway thoron now going to try the bottom down in three and four but I think he's got the line the top of three and four the bottom in one and two right now it is Jonathan Davenport Che leader as we work last 17 out of turn two going trying to make a three in a row on to Lucas laa Mador series two weeks ago he won in Georgetown Delaware and at Port Royal Pennsylvania there you have bab to the top what else well that's no shock here at Farmer City bab around marlor so Shannon bab trying to make up some ground and that 18 car as he works the outside bab started in ninth as he battles with Mike Marlo the 157 and your leader now catching the back of the pack and again that moisture ring on the bottom just not given up so far but we're not halfway yet we'll keep an eye on that as the race goes on hopefully the RAC track will start to balance out a little bit we'll see these guys move around as troutman's gone to the top side he rides back in position number five trying to find a way around Cody Overton meanwhile out of turn two battle for second down the back straight away Garrett Smith got the spot there's Thor coming into your living room Smith slams the door as they work off turn four to complete lap 21 well bad has nothing to lose he's not running for points so he's let it all hang out in that for 25k everybody wants to win as they go down the back straightway they mid wish midle spoiler on the point leader Thor now trying to make the outside work and at Anthony burrow cring 20 YT Davenport is lit every lap tonight Thorn to the outside trying to make it stick to the middle in turn number two I'm telling you he can't do it as much down in one and two although he gets a good run off into three and four Thor's going to have a good run off four and he may have a chance for second Garrett Smith down low Thorton up top at the line completing lap number 23 it's Smith by half a car L But Here Comes Thon to his outside good battle for second down the back straightway to turn three Davenport will pick up the tail end of the field right now we still have 28 cars running only Cory Lawler and Mike Spa out of the race as thoron has cleared Garrett Smith for second B and now from 8th to second 22 laps into the race actually believe it's a bit more than that scoring a little bit behind yeah we work lap number 25 25 on the board and now Jonathan Davenport has caught the back of the pack Carson Ferguson in front of him as your leader he's LED all 25 laps so far Jonathan Davenport Works through traffic Last Time by Ricky Thorton Jr was 1.5 seconds back this time at the line 1.1 seconds for Ricky Thorton Jr yeah this thing can stay green down the back straightaway it is definitely hornet nest there's about a five six car link lead for Davenport Smith is third over to Fourth Troutman fifth AB is six there you see the battle heavy traffic and we got a car slowing and Brandon effort slows and he's out of this one at the B5 yeah he'll stay under power off the track out of the Rath and the last time by Thorton had taken two more tents off of Davenport's lead as Davenport goes three wide through lap traffic and Davenport doesn't give any up that time around as your leaders navigating lap traffic off into turns three and four here tonight in Farmer City Tyler urb and Tim mccre in front of your leader down the straightway Jonathan Davenport working that bottom mccre the last car on the lead lap runs in 25th time herb is 26th to lap down now and now he's cut that lead down last time B it was 510 of second it's going to be closer this time Thorton's right there with him this time at the line Thor will slip a little bit off of four and he'll lose the 10th to Davenport Garrett Smith a distant third right now Drake Troutman in fourth chanon bat fi and it's Dennis orb Jr Cody Overton Chris Simpson Garrett alberon and Jason fager that's your top 10 as we complete lap 31 with your leaders in heavy lap traffic oh and cars sideways in front of your leaders that's going to draw the DOR Power Sport caution and Jonathan Davenport narrowly avoided disaster over in turn number two Ross Robinson who was running 19th bin at the time brings out a day warn Power Sports caution and it was going to get interesting that lead was down the 5/10 of a second as you mentioned between Davenport and thoron the top two in the points thoron leading the points Davenport second and Ross Robinson Dustin Jared to the heartbeat hot sauce hot pit yeah we saw his wife down here uh checking out the the 93 a Cory Lawler earlier Amanda now peeking her head inside the cockpit of her husband's number seven as it looks like maybe he's asking if the front end is dragging the snout on the seven car is dragging it is not they pull it up just a little bit but uh crew going to work he like a lot of drivers with just an absolute load of mud up against the rear spoiler right now along those lines and along the lines of something you guys mentioned earlier I talked to Opie Mike sple I said what happened he said two things he said we weren't any good he said and believe it or not only a few laps into the race I ran out of tear offs well we can believe it seen all the mud on these race cars great stuff down there Dustin thank you as we're going to have a replay of what happened to Ross Robinson in cart number seven as we go to the replay and going to the aerial and keep an eye over there side got in there and a little bit of contact and Robinson went around not sure who the other car was hard to tell from that angle I can also tell you the rocket one team was desperately trying to get mccre into the pit area to change a tire could I assume change a tire at least make an adjustment couldn't get his attention mccre does not make it into the heartbeat hot sauce hot pit and he has slid backwards in the grid James we've got 31 laps complete in this one 44 laps remaining it's Jonathan Davenport Ricky thoron Jr from eighth Garrett Smith in third Drake Troutman in fourth Dennis herb Jr started fifth uh seventh he rides in fifth then Shannon bab Cody Overton Chris Simpson Garrett alberon and Jason figer from 14th up to 10th so nobody just crazy making a ton of moves I'll go into the my race pass Happ and look at the positions gained and yeah Brendan Smith he's moved up 10 spots 29th up to position number 19 going after that Todd steel buildings hard charger award well DAV Port has L every lap 31 of them in the books we'll do Delaware double file till 10 or less laps to go again the 74 lap race I was Marlo's Dro back to 12 now but I tell you that you got to keep Drake troutman's in there herbs R Dennis herb bab he just got to feel like Thorton he's got some magic at the bottom of one and two and the top and three and four if he can get all that put together entering this event James rtj LED more laps of competition this year from anybody at 190 JD was 114 entering the event he's already added 31 here tonight as he had 44 more in him we come back to the green flag here tonight at Farmer City Raceway and we're back underway it might have been a little contact there at the newx restart zone between Thorton and Garrett Smith out at turn number two here comes Shannon bab down the back straightway in the 18 Shannon bab's got a good hot rod one to no shock here at Farmer City Here Comes bab down this straight away around Garrett Smith for third oh bab BS to keep the big money here in the state of Illinois he's up to third shanon bab started back in ninth he fell back early but he's making the top side work and he says rtj if you're not going to go to the top in three and four I will he heads up there bobbles just a little bit that time but Shannon B trying to get ahead of steam for the number 18 yeah this would be one of his biggest wins in quite some time former two-time dirt track world champion in a turn three Garrett Smith in fourth fifth is Drake Troutman and rtj is gone to the top of the RAC trck in three and four he goes to the bottom in one and two he makes up ground on Jonathan Davenport we'll see if rtj goes back to the cushion this time down as we work lap 35 and he will Davenport down low thoron to the cushion we come around to complete lap 35 last time by the lead was 4/10 of a second that time 3/10 is rtj cuts into the lead ever so slightly two of the best in the business the top two to Lucas oy late Series championship point standings BN still to that top in three and four as they come out of turn four as we work lap 36 it's a car length Advantage Thon through the middle in the 20rt Shannon bab is still third and 18 then Thorton took another 10th off JD's lead that time by into three and four catch in the back back oh Ricky gets over the cushion and three and four that'll cost him a little bit last time by the lead was a tick under 3/10 that time it goes over 4/10 and bab is lost ground to your top two he's back in third side by side for fourth is Dennis Jr to the inside of the 10 car you see them on the right side of your screen as he battles with Garrett Smith for position number four Denis Ser Junior started in seventh of the 20 a lot of laps here at Farmer City Garrett Smith on the outside 37 of books it's Davin p thoron and the Dave Warren Power Sports caution is out debris on the racetrack up in turns one and two it would appear there's debris as I think boom Briggs just shot into the heartbeat hot sauce hot pit and DJ down to you yeah boom shot in there and also you guys may have missed it Nick Hoffman actually shot off the racetrack as well he made his way back to the pit area so uh not entirely sure if the Dave Warren Power Sports caution was for one of those two drivers or not meanwhile Tim mccre now comes the attention of his crew as it looks like they are going to change a right rear tire on the rocket one all right getting word that that was Kyle Bronson's debris on the racetrack up in turns one and two getting the field sorted out and Dustin you got to believe as we get into the second half this race that heartbeat hot sauce hot Pit's going to get busier every time we see a day warn Power Sports caution yeah you would have to think so as it looks like boom break is going to get a new right rear shoe on that car as well as Shane wiland and the crew have got a new hooer to put on the right rear of that race car again rocket one putting a new right rear on their car as well and Carson Ferguson also getting a new right rear tire on his number 93 also getting a fresh set of tear offs is the driver of the payor Motorsports entry so officially three cars out the race Cory Lawler will finish 30th Mike Spa 29th Brandon Shepard 28th and Nick Hoffman will finish 27th so we still have 26 cars left in this race as you see mccre who is running in 23rd Ben Yeah Tim mccre started 18th and that car started sliding backwards as the race went green and you see that crew down there working on it looking to get him back out there and hey man 38 laps down 37 to go and there's the culprit I think we know what brought out that Dave Warren Power Sports caution for Kyle Bronson is the whole right rear quarter panel off of that race car somebody can go to the pit area afterwards and pick that up right get it signed get it autographed and signed all right 38 in the books Ben it's Jonathan Davenport Ricky thoron Jr Shannon Bap Garrett Smith then a Serb Jr your top five right now that's right and then riding behind them it'll be Garrett Albertson Drake Troutman Cody Overton Chris Simpson Devin Moran Devin started in this one back in 12 so picking up a couple of spots I think you're going to start seeing some comers and goers the second half of this race depending on if guys went with a three or a four on the right rear and also as this RAC trck starts to transition we've got 38 down 37 to go and DJ we've seen so many times on these Illinois bull Rings just when you think you know how it's going to play out things completely change late in the race absolutely I mean think about this race two years ago right we talked about it earlier whenever Ricky Thorton Jr and Tyler herb took it right down to the last lap and even last year remember Gordy Gundaker LED this race into I believe it was lap 47 until 14th starting Brandon Shepard was able to work by him well the lights are out on the speedway James will come back to the green flag in the nutrient a solution start Zone it's Jonathan Davenport he's LED all 38 laps so far 37 to go we're back underway on a beautiful night in the landak so far Brandon Smith rookie up 14 spots up to 15th of 29 let's come out of turn number two bab now will have a run on Ricky Thor Jr davp trying to pull away now bab will go to the bottom on Ricky Thor Jr side by side at a turn Ford thoron still has the spot Garrett Smith for Dennis Ser Jr fth James I'm noticing it's getting rough off the makes it a two and if you hit it right you're good but if you're not it upsets the balance of the race car we'll see if that starts to play a factor as perhaps RAC track wides out and how about that Jonathan dport goes to the middle of the track in three and four that's the first time in several laps he's got off the bottom down there he likes the bottom down in one and two as he starts to pull away from Ricky Thorton Jr Shannon Babs got his hands full with Garrett Smith and a battle for the podium position sure is crew chief Cory foset down there amongst that throng of people down there in three and four David for to the bottom there in your right it up sets that car as they come out of turn number two it's Davenport thoron Bap Garrett Smith Dennis her Jr alberon runs in six Troutman is seven but Thor's going to work in the middle of the racetrack we saw Davenport there a few laps ago but he's going to give up some ground to Jonathan Davenport is you would think that bottom would start to give up but man on a cool evening it might not JD is searching though he's moved to the middle of the racetrack it just shows you maybe his car not as comfortable as he'd like it to be but he's been really tough on the bottom it's hard to imagine him giving that up in the next few laps as Ricky Thorton Jr knocked a tenth off of his lead that time this time off of Turn number four 44 down 30 laps remain here tonight in Farmer City race well that's one guy you won't see running the top as didur Juni right on the bottom as he goes around Garrett Smith that is for fourth bab is still third there you see Garrett bid Drake Troutman running a good race right now in six right now the top O'Reilly Auto Parts rookie of the race is Drake Troutman in car number seven and Davenport added two t to his lead that time by although he got really real rough into real hard into the rough stuff down at one and two that time they're catching the back of the pack Thor's trying to get a wound up on the top Babs right through the middle that time at the line Thorton's going to take 6/10 of a second off of DAV for's lead as they work down the back straight away and let's just keep this thing green James let's hope so as we work on lap number 47 and Jason Fager's got a problem in the 25 and he slows on the back right away and he is not Going's trying to but the Warren Power Sports caution is out for the Bloomington Illinois driver the Titan Industries corrosion xx and he looks like he's going to try to head to the heartbeat hot sauce hot pit Baker was running in ninth and I'm going to tell you right now James I don't know if it's the longer runs if Davenport's car is starting to go away but nine10 of a second thoron Jr had taken off his lead in the last two laps we're going it's going to be interesting as we get set to go back to green Kyle Bronson heads down that way uh DJ if you got any update on any of those drivers in the heartbeat hot sauce hot pit yeah Bronson as you mentioned with absolutely no right rear quarter panel on this race car he's coming to the attention of his crew and he's asking for a tire they are scrambling to get a tire on that 40b meanwhile Jason pal ucki in the gang going to work on the 25 of Jason Fager's car they're jacking up the rear end of that race car and he is going to get a new right rear shoe on the number 25 how does tire wear look uh Dustin can you see off of the tire on Fager's c yeah I'm looking at fagers right now uh it doesn't look awful and uh I tell you what it it from what I can tell it's up from what I can tell as well I'm going to try to sneak over here and take a look at Kyle Bronson's 40b real quick as well as uh yeah I mean listen it's it's worn but it's not bald by any stretch of the imagination so again uh tire wear a concern on some of these guys but again I I have certainly uh I have certainly seen a lot worse now for what it's worth it is an NL mt4 boled on the right rear of the kb4 I mean that's my thought you got 27 to go you pull in there you pull the four off you go with the three and you let it eat and see what you can do late in this race 27 laps again on a quarter mile can go by fast but if you got a good car you can pass some hot rods as right now the we're going to keep an eye on this restart as Jonathan Davenport two laps ago he hit the rough uh spot in the exit of two and upset the car that allowed Thorton to close in the next lap though he hit it pretty good and thoron still closed in on him so we'll keep an eye on the 49 James with the Dorn Power Sports yellow lights turned out and thoron picks the bottom on Shannon bab then it's Dennis Ser JR Smith Troutman alberon Simpson Moran Overton on the new AOL three start Zone Here Comes bab bab to the outside he's run as high as third looking for the run up spot and here comes Dennis herb Jr in the bottom at 28 and with feger is back out on the racetrack fer rejoins the party meanwhile Davenport changes his line he moves up the racetrack as down at three and four one and two they're all hugging the low side of this racetrack three and four a few different grooves as we work lap number 49 with Jonathan Davenport he has led the whole way so far Last Time by a half second advantage over thoron JR this time at the line 710 of a second as right there you see DAV Port shoot up the RAC he hits that hole and that allows thoron to close in on him he did no doubt about it now Thor go to the outside last time rounds 210 of a second Thor lose some more ground Here Comes Shannon bab on the bottom in the 18 good battle for second between the 20 yd T and the 18 Denis Jr Alberton back into that fist spot as he's gotten around Garett Smith as now Davenport moves up the racetrack as say Thorton as tough as the bottom of turn two is as tricky as the top of three and four is and you got to hit them both just right and you see them all catching that hole down through one and two down the back straightway we come around to complete a lap 52 and it's JD leading the way last time by 810 of a second over Thorton JR this time at the line it is now 1 second yeah three and four look good it's at turn number two as we see the Mike maror off the track of the 157 Mike maror fourth in the points and he'll get it we'll see marer had gotten back into the top 12 and the Dave Warren Power Sports caution is out I is it for the 157 I would say cuz he was slowing in front of the leaders you got to be careful there he's going to head down to the heartbeat hot sauce hot pit and and Josh Davis Jerry spron again going to take a look at that race car and that brings out the caution with 53 laps complete 22 to go on the Dave Warren Power Sports caution resumes here at Farmer City Raceway yeah he just got back to the inside the top 20 but he had climbed back to 12th on the restart Dustin Jared what's the word on the 157 uh they're in there talking to him right now he's got his crew down here Don and uh Josh in the gang Noah Bushman from the 19r crew also down here it looks like he is going to get maybe a new right rear tire on that 157 or they may just be going under there as well he may have a little bit of mud plugged up plugged up underneath the rear end of that race car as well nope they're going to make a uh they're going to make a shock adjustment on the right rear of the 157 of Mike marer they're also getting a little bit of mud out from underneath the right front of that race car as well and uh boom Briggs back in the heartbeat hot sauce hot pit area for the third time all right Tiffany I believe down to the trailer producer should we've got a replay Mike Mar getting off the front straightway and rejoining right in the middle of that very heavy cushion in one and two and you'll see maror coming into your screen slips off the front straightway and he enters the RAC trck and if you want to wonder how treacherous that cushion is wait watch when Marler hits it the way he's bouncing around I mean it's like CH chunks of concrete up there in the top of one and two I think it's also worth mentioning James and DJ we see these guys coming to the heartbeat hot sauce hot pit and get uh new tires Tim mccre has climbed up to 13th since rejoining the field so we'll keep an eye on the one car but when these guys come in and go with a different right rear option or maybe even a fresh hooer Tire could make an impact and we still have 22 laps remaining you see mccre on your screen the rocket One racing against you DJ remind me real quick guys did he not go a lap down was maybe the recipi of a lucky dog award as well or is he or is he close to going a lap I think he was close he was in the back of the pack yes right now four cars out of the race guys Lawler Spa Shepard and Hoffman we still have 26 running marer back to 26 and they're all still on the lead lap in this race hey you never know it's treacherous down there in two isn't it yeah man I tell you what you got to give uh kudos to Jonathan Davenport he had his struggles but he's really found a clean line as clean as you can find because you're not going to miss the hole off the bottom of two it's just how good you can almost miss it and in three and four we've seen the guys that were good on the top that cushion has got way up there and I think it's got pretty rough and it's made it tough for those guys to make it work so it's Davenport thoron bab Dennis herb Jr alberon Maran Garrett Smith Troutman Chris Simpson Ryan Gustin now 10th on the Delaware double file 53 inss we have 24 left in this race no no no no 74 laps 74 laps I'm sorry 20 these weird number eventss we're not going to overtime we're not like n we're not going to go to overtime AR we need we'll have the scoreboard tomorrow night DJ in his defense James does have six toes on that one foot that's true he's got seven on the other one as we get set to come back to the green flag and it's Jonathan Davenport back on the L P Shannon bab trying to find something up top can he get it done new two solution three start Zone bab trying to get a run into one he has nothing to lose he's going to let it all hang out on the outside as thoron bounces through turn number two bab goes to Second as we work lap 54 bab almost got in the wall we may have a leer down the straight away race bab now right behind Davenport great three car battle in a one and two and bab hoping they're going to have trouble the bottom of two and Davenport gets all four off the ground now B to the inside of Jonathan Davenport he'll drive it up a slider off into turns three and four who's going to lead lap number 55 at the line new leader Shannon bab The Crowd Goes Nuts at Farmer City Shannon bab out in front of the Lucas Oil leate moded dirt series into turn number three he has worked for it he's done a good job here tonight bab started in ninth in the 18 and right now he leads as we go into turn number one here comes thoron now thoron is dropped to third herb alberon Moran Simpson Garrett Smith Overton Troutman is 10th Jimmy Owens up to 11th there's a great battle out of the lead out of turn four Ben shanon bab leading the way right now as thoron goes to the inside of Davenport you got to think of maybe Davenport's car starting to go away Shannon bab a 12-time winner with the series could he get it done here tonight claps are starting to tick down but Thorton's real any man I tell you with the Slicker graphic slickest move the race that was it right there if he can hang on out of turn number two here comes Rie Thorton Jr Davenport has made it back to third right now the deficit is 5/10 of a second thoron working that bottom out at turn number four down the main straight away 59 laps in the books they go side by side almost down the back straight away bab still leads Shanah B driving it for all its worth But Here Comes Thorton trying to go for his third straight win with the series number 60 on the board it's still bab and bab will move down the speedway he takes Thorton's line away from him off into three and four is going to be the key if you're Shannon bab do you stay down low and indeed no he's going to the chis yeah he said I didn't get off the couch to go to the bottom and right now he leads the way James this is fun and they're catching the back of the pack the last win for Shannon bab and Lucas Loy competition the comp Cam's topless 100 back in 2015 you and I were there wer I know I was there yes sir here we go down the main straightaway ABB in the turn number one 12 laps to go as they bounce out at two Davenport alberon Garrett alberon now up the fourth good battle back here but all eyes up front and they're going to catch the tail end of the field down the main straightaway Shannon bab and Ricky Thorton Jr here at Farmer City and if you're Shannon bab where do you go lap traffic in front of you you know you got Thorton back there well you know you got somebody back there now's going to throw a slider off into three and four complain coming around 10 to go do you have a new leader at the no it's shanon bab by 9 1000 of a second he'll go down low now Thorton moves up Thorton found something in the middle James off into three and four Here Comes b b trying to protect his Turf as they work around the 93 of Carson Ferguson down the main freightway Shannon bab nine laps to go for his 13th career win into Lucas Oil Late mod dirt series gets a little sideways Thon going to go back to the outside maybe it's not over yet man as they go down this straight away crossover Farmer City not disappointing again and they got boom Briggs in front of them and they're trying to figure out a way to get around him down the backway bab's going to step to the outside it's wiard Dera time for the drive R of M week Illinois Ricky Thor Jr will head down low Shannon bab will clear boom Briggs as they come around to complete lap 67 seven laps to go here tonight fin to become the 11th different winner of the year and 18 Lucas Oil Late M of dir series races bad looking good now but you know Ricky Thorne Jr's not going to give up trying to make a three in row in a Lucas Oil Late B of dirt series johnon Davenport holds on to third James Albertson in fourth this is the fifth is Dennis herb Jr Max Blair in front of Shannon bab bab's going to enter in the middle of the racetrack they work off a turn four and Shannon bab continues to work through lap traffic and James he's been able to roll the middle of the racetrack but he's need one mistake and thoron is there to pounce and now side by side near side by side lap traffic in front of your leaders and last year's O'Reilly got a parts rookie their max player Deon Marine we understand has a problem he's running at eighth right now the 99 they go into one all eyes up front four LA to go Thor to the bottom and down the back right away Shannon bab trying to hang on Ricky Thor Jr may become the third different leader of this race he'll slide in front of the 20rt down the straightaway new leader is Ricky Thorton Jr three laps remain here tonight in Farmer City and Thorton's gone to the lead B down low and Bap cannot get through the hole and that allows Thorton to pull away as Ricky Thorton J oh and Babs broke the 18's off the pace he slows through turns three and four and that is going to draw the Dave waren Power Sports caution heart bre 71 laps down three to go and when he pulls the infield Farmer City how about a round of applause for Shannon bab here tonight oh what a heartbreaker as he put on a show James Devon morine see him down in the heartbeat hot sauce hot pit and Shannon bab looking for his first one what year was that 2015 at the to topless 100 and his night is over but he drove the wheels off of it leading here tonight coming up four La three laap short Dustin we've watched it time and again it's hard not to be a Shannon bab fan I don't know if you want to try to get a word with him down there as he pulls the helmet off guys real quick the early word from Shannon bat the car just shut off on him meanwhile Devon Moran has got the helmet off he is done for the night as well guys back up to you what a run for Shannon B you got to wonder with the way this racetrack is and maybe the cut off there you we've seen mud CL hit those maybe if that is what happened if it shut off but DJ's going to take a second to line them up again if you can get any word down there with Shannon on anything else uh and take it away at any point but we got three laps remaining here in this one yeah his crew is down here talking to him now and his head's down and he is just uh he's dejected guys as as you might imagine but crew still down here talking to him right now I think they're just they're trying to diagnose exactly what happened we're going to jump in here and grab a work real quick Shannon taking a big drink of water Shannon man what a run do you have any idea at all what happened I just you know going through them holes that Jared something I just completely lost power uh just completely lost power and the engine died so you know there's a million things can be going wrong on these cars and uh like I tell pet I'm glad it's not an airplane i' done been all right he still got a sense to hear Let Him hear you Farmer City water run for Shannon bab well James yellow lights are out three laps remain and it's Ricky thoron Jr trying to get his third straight win his sixth of the year on the tour we're back underway and Garrett alberon

and then we head up to Faberry speed way tomorrow for the 30,000 to win fall spring shootout it's going to be a big time up there and I tell you what James it took a minute for the track to really get interesting and she got a lot of character she got rough she got tricky Heartbreaker for Shannon bab but thoron Jr just keeps on chugging and your Podium again unofficially as they cross the un8 skills thoron Davenport alberon the Colman Farms fastest lap of the race Jonathan Davenport 13815 the md3 most laps LED I believe would been Davenport we'll double check on that your hard charger the race Hudson O'Neal from 25th to 7th you're lucky 13th Place finisher death rage Opticians of course your race for gas Thon on Sonoco race fuels the Lucky Seven willwood breakes and that is Hudson O'Neal I got to go with the what do you think slickest move of the race got to go to Shannon bab to take the lead right I that was a unbelievable move and yeah I mean I would agree with you and hard hard luck who there's a lot of candidates there there's so many and we talked about the Todd still buildings hard charger and I think that's going to end up being Hudson uh Hudson O'Neal goes up 25th to 18th 7 DJ we're going to head down to Lucas Oil Victory Lane with your feature winner Ricky Thorton Jr well he had to come from the eighth starting spot to get it done here tonight and he didn't make that winning pass until less than five laps to go yet another Farmer City 74 that goes right down to the wire and he'll be the first to tell you he let one slip away here two years ago when turbo got by him last turn last lap he was not going to let that happen here tonight as the driver of the SSI Motorsports Colman Farms racing Big River Steel hooker Trucking sponsored number 20rt is Victorious tonight as he climbs out of the car let him hear you the Farmer City 74 winner is going to be Ricky Thorton [Applause] Jr he climbs out of the race car again a big yell Shay over here and the kids as well to greet him after the race and uh man sometimes you win races and sometimes you just got to be real darn patient and real darn good and I think you were both of those here tonight yeah I uh I don't know I got the second behind JD and I'm like man second would be a really good night for us and uh we got the traffic and I was able to close up on them a little bit uh I'm like man I got a shot here but I don't want to do something dumb and put myself in the wall there in three and four and then uh his guy moved him up a little bit and I'm like man it really killed my line and then uh I really wanted to go to top on the restarts but I'm like man if I get B at the bottom he's going to drive by me and I was like if he gets a good start on the top he's going to drive by me so it uh I don't know me and him that's probably the hardest we've drove in a while and uh I think we we gave each other plenty of room stuff like that so uh got to thank JD for for leaving us Lane every time same with Shan in there it uh it was a wild one how about shann and bad by the way as well that you know he he said that something happened to that race car but you and him had a great battle it seemed like you kind of knew knew early on or at least maybe by halfway what you needed to do how difficult was it though to know what you needed to do but then maybe not be able to execute it maybe the way you needed execute yeah I felt like I could I could really reel a top in three and four and then like I could move out getting into one and just kind of kind of enter on JD's quarter panel a little bit and I never could really get a good enough launch off of two and then uh I'm like man once we get to traffic at least that's the one nice part about not being a leader I've been all over this place where where he really hadn't at that point so it uh I was trying to trying to run hard I think one of the starts are like how got like 40 something to go I'm like man I thought we had like five or six to go so it uh it was a long one but it was pretty awesome uh got to give a big shout out uh uh Dave and Tina sharp Advantage I always forget to thank them super comfortable in our Ultra Shield seat so it uh it's pretty pretty awesome to to have all this speed and be able to come here and and be really good I got big shout out hooker Trucking Big River Steel Colman farms uh Longhorn chassis all our performance uh I mean there's there's so many people that help us get up and down the road Bill Stein shocks uh my crew they busted butts it kind of sucks we had a couple rain outs but at least we looks like we'll get tonight and tomorrow in so last question how much does it mean to get this win after what you were so close to getting one here two years ago yeah I was having flashbacks I was waiting for Turbo to drive by me there off turn four but uh it's pretty cool this place really is about 3 hours from our house so it's not super far so it's nice to to have speed when we unload here in this black dirt it uh it it's elbows up but patient at the same time so there's a there's a lot of good people around here and like I said there's so many good people that help us get up and down the road and all fans that stopped by and bought a Peril today hopefully we'll see you all tomorrow how about it ladies and gentlemen the winner of The Farmer City 74 is Ricky Thorton Jr yeah you remember Dustin he led 99 straight Laps on the East Coast tour so he was the third different leader here tonight a great race and Davenport bab and Thorton coming home with the win three different leaders well Jonathan Davenport comes home position number two and we go down to DUS Jared who's caught up with him yeah Jonathan down here talking to his crew Cory fos fed man you were right there what do you think you needed to do different to have this 49 car over here in Victory Lane tonight I don't know uh that's that's the best we've been here by far and uh just just wasn't good enough I I probably should have got up and run the top a little bit more I don't know but I I just couldn't steer getting in uh we we changed a few things and went a little stiffer on the right front right before uh um after the heat race uh cuz I was bottoming out there but I just couldn't Ste good enough getting in I didn't feel like to really run the top like I needed to so I was just trying to stay straight and run the middle there I I thought was pretty good but then man I hate that for bab I was uh after he passed me h i was about cheering him on and uh but anyway uh ju just thankful for my guys you know that they they do a hell of a job for me nutrien Solutions ASC warranty dagow uh Longhorn Bill Steen Midwest sheet metal um bob cat of Bates full just everybody uh you
