Kokomo, In. (8-22-14)-Jon Stanbrough dogged Bryan Clauson for 28 laps and made the pass for the lead on that lap to win the Friday night portion of the USAC “Kokomo Smackdwon”. Clauson started on the pole and jumped out to the lead and looked like he was headed for the checkers but Stanbrough would not let the TSR #20 out of his sights despite several cautions and one red.
Robert Ballou, Kyle Cummins, Brady Bacon and Chase Stockon all had fine runs finishing behind the lead duo.
Heats were won by Kevin Thomas Jr., Chris Windom, Tracy Hines and Brandon Maddox. Dave Darland picked up the B main win.
After heavy overnight rains that continued well into the morning threatened the track, Kokomo Speedway was able to pull off a great night of racing.
