O’Neil
Outduels Mullens for Masters Glory
NEW RICHMOND, Wis. (June 17)
—
On the
second night of the 23rd Annual Masters at the Cedar
Lake Speedway, Jake O’Neil raced side-by-side with
Tanner Mullens for the better part of Friday night’s
40-lap feature and held on to claim the $5,000 top
prize.
It was the sixth win for O’Neil in this
year’s Summit USMTS National Championship presented by
RacinDirt and the fifth time Mullens has settled for the
runner-up paycheck—four of them following O’Neil to the
checkered flag.
O’Neil took the lead when the
race started and he battled hard to fend off Terry
Phillips for the first dozen laps, leading many of them
by a mere bumper over the veteran.
Mullens
eventually made his way in front of Phillips using the
center of the high-banked 3/8-mile oval, and then pulled
even with O’Neil as they completed the 15th lap. From
that moment on, the two were separated by less than a
second every time they crossed beneath the flagstand.
Meanwhile, back-and-forth battles throughout the
field left spectators wishing for a spare set of
eyeballs. While O’Neil and Mullens crossed the stripe
next to each other for the last 20 laps, Phillips and
Dustin Sorensen mirrored that action in a race for
third.
Mullens beat O’Neil to the strip by a nose
to lead for the first time on lap 26, but it was the
last time as a lapped car briefly slowed his momentum
enough to let O’Neil powered back into the lead one lap
later.
In the end, O’Neil captured his 26th
career win with a half-second advantage over Mullens. It
was worth $5,000 to the 30-year-old from Tucson, Ariz.
“It was awesome racing with them guys and I
appreciate them giving me room,” O’Neil said of his
bouts with Phillips and Mullens. “He (Mullens) he could
have taken it a couple times there and I was just
holding on for dear life, honestly. I feel like them
guys are probably a lot better than I was. I’d rather be
lucky than good.”
O'Neil, Mullens and Phillips
filled the podium steps while Clayton Wagamon got by
Sorensen to earn a fourth-place check. Darrell Nelson,
Zack VanderBeek, Rodney Sanders, Carlos Ahumada Jr. and
Dan Ebert completed the top 10.
Masters
finale happens Saturday: The 23rd Annual
Masters continues Saturday with complete programs for
all classes. USMTS Modifieds and Super Late Models
compete in a pair of $10,000-to-win championship
features while USRA Late Models have a $1,000 top prize
up for grabs.
The pit gate opens at 2 p.m.,
spectator gates open at 5, drivers will gather for their
pit meeting at 6 with hot laps at 6:30 and racing
getting underway at 7.
