WHEATLAND, Mo. (September 15, 2022) Taking his momentum from Tuesday night in Iowa to Thursday night in Missouri, Tim Crawley put the veteran’s touch to work in the Jesse Hockett/Daniel McMillin Memorial opener at Lucas Oil Speedway.
Tim’s fourth win of the season and 50th all-time since 1993, the win marks the eighth time Crawley has topped the National Tour in Missouri and is the fourth on at Lucas Oil Speedway since 2010.
“We work out butts off, and this is what makes it all worthwhile. We lost a good friend at home this week to cancer, and then here’s the Jesse and McMillin deal here. This all means a lot to me; it really does,” stated Crawley in Victory Lane, who dedicated the win to Karen Goodson.
Outrunning Wayne Johnson to the point to open the non-stop feature event, Crawley was quickly challenged by Derek Hagar and Joe B. Miller. Working as wide as possible around the three-eighths-mile oval, Tim finally skipped to the bottom to keep the No. 9jr and the No. 51b at bay.
Putting distance on Hagar through the first ten revolutions, the bottom of the track continued to clean off as the race reached the mid-point. Migrating the field to the gutter as Crawley trekked into traffic, the Ronnie Pitts Motorsports No. 1x settled into a patient run.
Making it 25-laps led, Crawley crossed with a 1.271-second advantage over Derek Hagar. Moving up from eighth, a late race pass netted Pennsylvania’s Mark Smith the show position in the Witherspoon owned No. 43m. Joe B. Miller ended up fourth with Wayne Johnson fifth.
Landon Britt, in sixth, was followed by Blake Hahn. Having to fight out of B-Features, Sam Hafertepe, Jr., and Sean McClelland chased each other through the field, with Sam moving from 17th to eighth and Sean from 18th to ninth. Michael Day completed the top ten.
The opening night of the Hockett/McMillin Memorial saw a massive 78-car field. Having never qualified at the Lucas Oil Speedway, Canada’s Dylan Westbrook set the mark for the track record at 14.005-seconds. A total of eighth SCE Gaskets Heat Races were contested, followed by a trio of BMRS B-Features. Three provisional were used by Brandon Anderson, Landon Crawley, and Miles Paulus.
The event standings after the opening night are led by Tim Crawley (165), with Derek Hagar (162), Mark Smith (153), Joe B. Miller (149), and Wayne Johnson (143) making up the top five. All teams will run again on Friday night, with the combined points tallied and the top eight locking into Saturday’s $10,000 to win event.
Friday, September 16 at Lucas Oil Speedway opens at 4:00 P.M. with cars on track to Qualify at 6:00 P.M. (CDT). Tickets and other information are online at http://www.lucasoilspeedway.com.
