Jason Ingalls beats the heat and the competition at Champion Park!

 

Haughton, Louisiana (August 18, 2007) – Jason Ingalls didn’t let the high heat slow him down as he used his outside starting position to grab the lead at the start and he never looked back running the preferred bottom groove to hold the field at by for all 50-laps at Champion Park Speedway.  The win was the first of the season and the fifth of his career in O’Reilly SUPR Late Model competition.  The win also allowed Jason to break a tie with his brother Doug, Jr. on the all time win list.

 

Ingalls started to the outside of Allen Tippen and grabbed the lead from the start while Tippen was left to battle with Kyle Cummings and David Ashley.  Cummings would eventually work his way passed Tippen for second while Ashley would go to the rear following contact with Cummings.

 

When the checkers waved it was Jason Ingalls, Cummings, Tippen, Jody Prince and Patrik Daniel rounding out the top five.

 

And while the track was uncharacteristically one-grooved, one driver not willing to get in line was Kenny Merchant.  Merchant kept chasing the outside groove throughout the race.  Overcoming a spin, Merchant stuck to his guns but the end result didn’t pay off tonight at Merchant finished thirteenth but deserving of credit nonetheless.

 

Allen Tippen earned the pole position after winning heat race number two.  Jason Ingalls won heat one and David Ashley did the same in heat three.  21 O’Reilly SUPR Late Models were on hand.
