BRIGHTON, Ont. – June 20, 2015 – Josh Richards was fast all night at Saturday’s Dibbits Excavating and Vanderlaan Building Products Mud Slinger 50 presented by Excel Tower Service at Brighton Speedway. But in the final 10 laps, the three-time World of Outlaws Late Model Series champion needed more patience than speed to claim his fourth series victory of the season.
After leading from the start of the 50-lap race, Richards, 27, of Shinnston, W.Va., expertly picked his way through heavy traffic during the race’s closing laps and held off points leader Shane Clanton’s furious late charge to win the second round of the Great Northern Tour in a side-by-side finish at the third-mile oval.

FONDA, N.Y. – June 18, 2015 – Just as the World of Outlaws Late Model Series enters a busy stretch of early-summer action, Shane Clanton is showing signs of another potential hot streak on the national tour.
Clanton, who jumped out to an early lead in this year’s WoO LMS championship chase with four victories in the tour’s first seven races, returned to victory lane for the first time since his February win streak Thursday night at Fonda Speedway with a dominating performance in the opening round of the four-race Great Northern Tour.
The $8,550 victory stretched Clanton’s lead in the WoO LMS standings to 98 points and gives the 39-year-old Zebulon, Ga., racer plenty of momentum as the tour tackles a stretch of seven races in 10 days between the four-race Great Northern Tour and Lernerville Speedway’s three-race Firecracker 100 weekend presented by GottaRace.com.
Lanigan Prepares For World of Outlaws Late Model Series Great Northern Tour & Lernerville’s Firecracker 100
Three-Time WoO LMS Champion Hopes to End Season-Long Winless Streak & Gain Ground in Title Chase During New York & Canada Races & Lernerville’s Big Weekend
By Joshua Joiner, WoO LMS PR
CONCORD, N.C. – June 17, 2015 – Darrell Lanigan knows that time for him to make up ground in the World of Outlaws Late Model Series championship chase is running out. Luckily for Lanigan, 45, of Union, Ky., the next two weeks set up nicely for the three-time and defending WoO LMS champion to begin a mid-season push for his record fourth series title.
Lanigan, who has yet to win on this year’s WoO LMS campaign and is currently 110 points behind leader Shane Clanton of Zebulon, Ga., in third in the series standings, will join the rest of the WoO LMS regulars in a stretch of seven series races over the final two weeks of June. With the majority of those races taking place at tracks where Lanigan typically runs well, he knows he needs to take advantage of the upcoming events if he’s going to have any shot at challenging Clanton and second-place Josh Richards of Shinnston, W.Va., for the $100,000 WoO LMS championship.

By Joshua Joiner, WoO LMS PR
CONCORD, N.C. – June 15, 2015 – Tim Fuller wasn’t able to follow the World of Outlaws Late Model Series full time this season as he had hoped, but now the national tour is coming to him.
Fuller, the Watertown, N.Y., driver who ran full time with the WoO LMS for the better part of eight seasons, will make his first series appearance of the year Thursday evening at Fonda Speedway in Fonda, N.Y., when the national tour returns to the Empire State for the first time since 2013 as part of the four-race Great Northern Tour.
Fuller, who has spent this season driving a DIRTcar Big-Block Modified for Dave and Kelly Rauscher after budget constraints forced him to abandon plans for another full-time WoO LMS campaign, plans to field his own Rocket Chassis with support from the Rauschers and their company D.C. Rauscher Inc. at Fonda as well as the Great Northern Tour finale at Weedsport Speedway in Weedsport, N.Y., on June 23

World of Outlaws Late Model Series News & Notes: Overton’s Jackpot 100 Performance, Lanigan’s Struggles & Roberts Appeal Results
By Joshua Joiner, WoO LMS PR
CONCORD, N.C. – May 28, 2015 – Brandon Overton led 80 of the 100 A-Main laps completed during Tyler County Speedway’s Jackpot 100 doubleheader over Memorial Day weekend, yet the leading rookie on the World of Outlaws Late Model Series left Middlebourne, W.Va., still looking for his first series victory.
The weekend’s two races played out nearly identically with Overton leading most of the way until Josh Richards of Shinnston, W.Va., took command in the closing laps of both events. Overton fell to third after leading 36 of 40 laps in Saturday’s feature and ended up fifth in Sunday’s 60-lap finale after leading 44 circuits.
On the positive side, Overton logged two solid top-five finishes and passed WoO LMS points leader Shane Clanton of Zebulon, Ga., for the most A-Main laps led on this year’s tour with 129 laps led to Clanton’s 114.
But Overton is no longer content merely leading laps and notching top five finishes. With confidence in both his ability and his MasterSbilt by Huey Race Car, the 24-year-old Evans, Ga., racer knows he can contend for victories on the national level; now he’s ready for a breakthrough.
