(Kansas City, Kansas) Eighty race times filed into Lakeside Speedway on Friday for the annual Janet Billings Memorial. It was a full night of action with Pure Stocks as the highlighted class. A-Mods, B-Mods, Stock Cars, and E-Mods also raced for the checkers throughout the night.
In the featured Pure Stock Janet Billings Memorial race, those who left early are waking up to the news that Garry Billings, Jr., was declared the winner after post-race technical inspection led to the disqualification of apparent winner Dennie Belknap in violation of the valve lash rule. Billings had originally started the event on the pole as Belknap moved to the front of the field from third.
Chase Galvan stayed in the mix despite heavy smoke billowing from his machine until he slipped from second to fourteenth by race end. The rest of the top five included drivers who started further back on the grid. Darrion McLaughlin made his season debut at Lakeside Speedway a good one as the Excelsior Springs, Missouri, driver advanced from fifth to second, Jason Park from seventh to third, Spencer Reiff from eighth to fourth, and Don Marrs from tenth to fifth. The victory was Billings’ second of the season since his recent return to action.
