Brandon Overton
Fifth-place finish in Show-Me prelim at Lucas Oil Speedway
Wells Motorsports and Brandon Overton visited Lucas Oil Speedway (Wheatland, Mo.) on Thursday afternoon as the 31st annual Show-Me 100 weekend kicked off with the Cowboy Classic.
Amassing 59 cars for the three-day event, Overton jumped up one spot in his heat to finish second, chasing Ricky Weiss to the checkers. With $6,000 on the line in the feature, Brandon faded late in the 45-lap affair to finish 14th.
For Friday’s $6,000-to-win prelim, Brandon laid down the second-fastest lap in his time trial group before placing first in his heat. Scoring a top-five finish in the feature, Overton raced to a fifth-place finish, which came behind Jonathan Davenport, Tim McCreadie, Ricky Thornton Jr., and Payton Looney.
With preliminary point standings placing him on the fourth row for Saturday night’s $50,000-to-win Show-Me 100, Overton tagged the wall while running fourth late in the 100-lapper that brought a disappointing end to his night.
Brandon is currently third in the latest LOLMDS point standings.
