California, MO — (July 20, 2014) — Xtreme Body and Paint presented the 12th annual Clyde Wood Memorial at the Double X Speedway this past Sunday night with Jonathan Cornell taking his fifth consecutive Speedway Motors ASCS Warrior Regional victory.

Coming from sixth, Cornell inherited the lead on Lap 13 after early leader, Josh Fisher, found a car spun in the center of the racing groove; forcing the No. 72x into the wall while trying to avoid the stalled car.

Cornell was pursued to the finish by seventh starting Jason Johnson.

Kyle Bellm was third with Zach Chappell fourth. The top five rounded out with Brandon Hahn.

Corey Nelson was sixth with Ricky Stangl from sixteenth to take seventh. Tyler Blank clawed from nineteenth to eighth with Randy Martin from eighteenth to ninth. Cody Baker made his return to action with a tenth place finish after suffering burns to his legs at the Lucas Oil Speedway on June 21.

Xtreme Body and Paint awarded $250 to Tyler Blank as the night’s Hard Charger. Josh Fisher was High Points out of the Heats and received a $100 bonus.

Several drivers with the Speedway Motors ASCS Warrior Region will take part in the 24th annual Arnold Motor Supply ASCS Knoxville Nationals, happening July 31 – August 2. For tickets and information, log onto http://www.knoxvilleraceway.com
