Richards’s Heat-Race Victory Over Babb Among Highlights Of Illini 100 Qualifying Night At Farmer City Raceway
By Kevin Kovac, WoO LMS P.R. Director
FARMER CITY, IL – April 3, 2009 – Josh Richards of Shinnston, W.Va., did what few drivers are able to do at Farmer City Raceway on Friday night – outrun Moweaqua, Ill.’s Shannon Babb.
But while Richards beat the master of the quarter-mile oval to capture a heat race for Saturday night’s second annual World of Outlaws Late Model Series ‘Illini 100,’ the 21-year-old knows he has a tough road ahead of him in the weekend’s $20,000-to-win finale.
