Terry Phillips made the holiday weekend trip with the O'Reilly MLRA a fruitful one as he picked up the win on Monday night at Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, MO. For Phillips it made win number five on the season and number seventy-six overall with the series.
Four-time O'Reilly MLRA champion Alan Vaughn lead the field down to the green and outgunned Larry Jones for the top spot as they raced into the first turn. Behind him saw Jones fight to keep his spot as both Terry Phillips and Al Purkey came into the fray making it a three wide battle for second with Purkey coming out with the position. A lap later Phillips worked his way past Purkey to take over second and set sail for Vaughn who had built up a lead of nearly ten car lengths by that time. Working the high side of the track, Phillips tracked down Vaughn and was able to take over the top spot coming off of turn four. A caution slowed the field on lap eight and Johnny Bone began to make some noise as he battled side by side with Purkey. The yellow flew when Bone and Purkey came together and Purkey spun to a stop in turn two on lap 10. On the restart Vaughn was giving Phillips a challenge for first, but Bone was not to be denied and moved around on lap 12. Not one to give up Vaughn kept the pressure on Bone and took the position back just prior to the halfway point of the 40 lap event. It was also this point where Shane Essary threw his name into the hat and moved into the top five after starting the feature eighteenth on the grid. Another slowdown on lap 28 saw the field bunch up with Bone looking to make his way around Phillips, but Phillips held the advantage as Vaughn slipped high trying to keep pace and slid back several positions. Bone continued the pressure, but Phillips was able to pull out to a four carlength lead and held on as the checkered flags flew. Bone held on for second with Steve Rushin, 24th starting Jason Bodenhamer, and Scott Drake rounding out the top five rundown.
Forty-two cars signed into the pits at Lucas Oil Speedway with Bone, Phillips, Vaughn, and Purkey taking the heat race wins. Steve Rushin took the win in the first B feature while Shane Essary won the second B feature.
Next up for the O'Reilly MLRA is the rescheduled event at Lake Ozark Speedway in Eldon, MO on Saturday, July 8.
