Ken Lutters Takes Convincing URSS Win At
Lexington Sunday
The United Rebel Sprint
Series made the first of two stops at the Dawson County
Raceway and the fans gathered on Fathers Day weren’t
disappointed. In true Rebel Fashion the Series saw it
sixteenth different winner in the twenty races held this
Season. When the checkers flew Ransom Kansas Ken Lutters
took the win in rather convincing fashion.
Hill City Kansas's Jeff
Radcliffe led the field to the green and quickly jumped out
to the lead with Tom Belsky, Smokey Fairbank, Ken Lutters
and Bill Hays rounding out the top five. Lap two saw Smokey
Fairbank take the top spot from Radcliffe and start to pull
away. Lutters started making his way to the front and by lap
seven had relegated Radcliffe to the third spot.
Lutters found his line and
used it o power his way around Fairbank the point on lap
ten. Back in the field, the “Kansas Tornado” Jon Johnson and
Bill Hays battled for the fourth position until Johnson made
the pass for good on lap sixteen. Johnson made quick work of
Radcliffe and set his sights on Fairbank.
With the white flag
flying, Johnson mad his move on a smoking Fairbank and took
the second position as Radcliffe then took the third
position from Hays. At the Checkers it was Lutters taking
his second career URSS Feature win with Johnson, Fairbank,
Jeff Radcliffe and Hays rounding out the top five.
The Weld Racing Wheels
“Hard Charger Award” went the Jon Johnson who came from his
ninth place starting spot to claim the second position.
