Edinburgh, Indiana (04/10/12) – Chad Stapleton achieved a benchmark in his young career on Saturday night by piloting his #32 Rightway Construction/Skeletor Core/Rocket/Jay Dickens Racing Engine Super Late Model to his first ever feature win at Brownstown Speedway (Brownstown, Indiana).
Chad returned to Moler Raceway Park (Williamsburg, Ohio) on Friday night looking to pick up his second win in a row at the facility. The night would start well as he finished second in his heat race to lock into the main event in the fourth starting position. Early in the feature Stapleton would battle in the top five and looked to possibly have a shot at another win before mechanical issues late in the event sidelined him to a 16th place finish. Full results are available at www.MolerRacewayPark.com.
Saturday night was another great outing for the team as Chad raced to his second win of the year with a triumph at Brownstown Speedway (Brownstown, Indiana). Twenty-seven Super Late Models entered the program, and after winning the second heat race he started outside-front-row for the feature with Tyler Allen joining him on the front row. As the feature went green, Chad would bolt to the top spot and would fend off a late-race challenge from Kent Robinson to claim the feature victory. He was followed across the finish line by Robinson, Greg Kendall, Mark Barber, and Chris Steeval. The win was his second of the season and first ever victory at Brownstown Speedway. Full results are available at www.BrownstownSpeedway.com.
“To win at Brownstown is a big deal to me. I mean when you think of all of the history at that place, and all of the great drivers, who have raced there. This win is really special, and I can’t thank my team members enough for all of their hard work on this race car,” commented Stapleton.
The upcoming weekend, April 13th-14th, will see Chad and the team enter a pair of Sunoco American Late Model Series (ALMS) events in Ohio. Friday night will find the team at Moler Raceway Park (Williamsburg, Ohio) before moving onto Eldora Speedway (Rossburg, Ohio) on Saturday night. Both shows pay $2,000-to-win.
