Defending Tour Champion Inherits Lead From McCreadie, Beats Resurgent Clint Smith To Finish Line<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"062313_CornwallVL\"CORNWALL, ONT \u2013 June 23, 2013 \u2013 Stick a maple leaf on Darrell Lanigan\u2019s car and call him the King of Canada.<\/p>\n

The defending World of Outlaws Late Model Series champion from Union, Ky., completed an undefeated trip north of the border with the national tour on Sunday night, outrunning the resurgent Clint Smith of Senoia, Ga., down the stretch to capture the 50-lap A-Main at Cornwall Motor Speedway.<\/p>\n

\u201cI kind of like coming up here to Canada,\u201d said Lanigan, whose $10,650 triumph backed up his WoO LMS score three days earlier at Brighton (Ont.) Speedway. \u201cWe always seem to run well at these tracks up here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lanigan, 43, benefitted from a dose of good fortune to win his series-leading sixth race of 2013. After race-long leader Tim McCreadie of Watertown, N.Y., had his full straightaway edge over Lanigan wiped out by a lap-28 caution flag, the restart saw McCreadie slow on the homestretch due to a broken driveshaft and spin into the infield \u2013 a dramatic turn of events that handed the top spot to Lanigan for good.<\/p>\n

The 48-year-old Smith chased Lanigan\u2019s Rocket car for the final 19 laps, drawing within striking distance of the leader with six circuits remaining. But the race\u2019s fifth and final caution flag, on lap 47, cleared lapped traffic from the picture and allowed Lanigan to pull away, leaving Smith to settle for a season-best runner-up finish in his Rocket mount, 1.703 seconds behind the victor.<\/p>\n

Bub McCool of Vicksburg, Miss., started and finished third in his Victory Circle machine. He slipped back as far as fifth midway through the race before rallying to match his best WoO LMS outing of the season.<\/p>\n

DIRTcar big-block Modified star Billy Decker of Unadilla, N.Y., who started 10th<\/sup>, placed fourth in the Gypsum Racing Rocket, earning his second top-five finish in three WoO LMS starts over the past five days. Shane Clanton of Zebulon, Ga., completed the top five with a quiet-but-steady run in the Kennedy Motorsports Capital Race Car.<\/p>\n

Lanigan swept the night at the high-banked, quarter-mile oval, setting fast time in Ohlins Shocks Time Trials and winning a heat race prior to grabbing his 47th<\/sup>\u00a0career WoO LMS A-Main victory. His perfect performance marked his second win in three starts behind the wheel of the new Rocket car he debuted at the start of the tour\u2019s current Northeast swing.<\/p>\n

The winningest driver in WoO LMS history pulled off his latest conquest without having to deal with McCreadie, who appeared primed to grab his fourth WoO LMS win of the season after he bolted into the lead from the outside pole at the start of the race. Lanigan didn\u2019t rule out the possibility, however, that he could have challenged McCreadie if the 39-year-old hadn\u2019t met a miserable fate on lap 28.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we were running him down a little because I could see him coming to me,\u201d said Lanigan, who started fourth. \u201cNow whether he had problems then, I don\u2019t know. He might have been having rearend problems then.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven if we got there (to McCreadie), it was gonna be hard to pass him. But our car was good, and I\u2019d liked to have raced with him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Smith kept Lanigan honest following McCreadie\u2019s departure, but Lanigan never felt any serious pressure.<\/p>\n

\u201cI knew Clint was back there, but I knew I had a little bit of a lead there at the end,\u201d said Lanigan. \u201cAs long as I ran my own race I was gonna be fine.\u201d<\/p>\n

Smith, who started fifth, was a very satisfied runner-up. It was by far his best run of the 2013 WoO LMS campaign; in the 20 events prior to Cornwall, he hadn\u2019t recorded a single top-five finish.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll be honest with you \u2013 the way we\u2019ve been running, it\u2019s like a win,\u201d said Smith, who gained control of second place on lap 31 when his good buddy, Tim Fuller of Watertown, N.Y., slipped over the outside berm between turns one and two while challenging Lanigan and tumbled out of the top five. \u201cI\u2019m trying to stay on tour (with the WoO LMS), and a $5,000 night is a big step for me. That\u2019s like a sponsorship compared to the $1,200 I\u2019ve been getting (for finishing deep in the field). That\u2019s like running five races in a row in one night. It definitely makes a big difference in where we\u2019re going.\u201d<\/p>\n

Smith credited his strong run to Lanigan, who provided setup tips that dialed in his familiar No. 44.<\/p>\n

\u201cI got back on Darrell\u2019s kind of setup program tonight,\u201d said Smith. \u201cHe helped me last year a lot, but this year we\u2019ve been running good around home so I was trying to bring that program out here on the road. It just ain\u2019t good in this part of the country, and I feel like I just lost my way a little bit with setup over the past three or four races.<\/p>\n

\u201cI got with Darrell and he helped me get everything back right tonight \u2013 so even if I could get to him, I hated to race him hard because he helped me get what I was getting. If he\u2019d have given it to me I\u2019d have took it, but I wasn\u2019t gonna do no slide-jobs or nothing to try and pass him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Smith did close in on Lanigan when the leader was in lapped traffic late in the distance, but the lap 47 caution flag effectively dashed his hopes.<\/p>\n

\u201c(Lanigan) had destroyed his right-rear tire racing with Fuller early in the race and I still had a good tire, so my car was a little more positive and a little more steady anywhere I wanted to go,\u201d said Smith. \u201cHe kind of had to run a dedicated circle and keep his car pulling because he knew his tire was in bad shape, so he couldn\u2019t move around the lapped cars as well as I could. That allowed me to gain on him, but in open track (after the caution) he was still Darrell Lanigan. He was rollin\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

Finishing in positions 6-10 was WoO LMS rookie Morgan Bagley of Longview, Texas, whose sixth-place run matched his best tour finish of 2013; Chub Frank of Bear Lake, Pa., who finished in the same spot he started; Rick Eckert of York, Pa.; Fuller, who started from the pole position but never led a lap and fell from contention when he lost ground while bidding to overtake Lanigan on lap 31; and points leader Josh Richards of Shinnston, W.Va., who started eighth and was never a factor at a track where he won WoO LMS A-Mains in 2008 and \u201909.<\/p>\n

The race\u2019s five caution flags were caused by relatively minor incidents. John Mason of Millersburg, Ohio, and Dan Stone of Thompson, Pa., tangled in turn one on the opening lap; Larry Wight of Phoenix, N.Y., slid off the track between turns three and four on lap three; WoO LMS rookie Eric Wells of Hazard, Ky., spun off turn three with a flat right-rear tire on lap 18; McCreadie needed wrecker service after losing the race on lap 28; and Adam Turner of Picton, Ont., spun in turn four on lap 47.<\/p>\n

Twenty-six cars were entered in the event, which brought the WoO LMS back to Ron Morin\u2019s Cornwall Motor Speedway for the first time since 2010. There was no race scheduled in 2011 and last year\u2019s event was rained out.<\/p>\n

Lanigan\u2019s quick lap of 12.708 seconds in time trials was his third fast-time honor of 2013.<\/p>\n

Heat winners were Lanigan, McCreadie and McCool. Stone captured the B-Main after his Leo Milus-owned \u2018Super Deuce\u2019 car was sidelined during heat action by a busted distributor.<\/p>\n

The WoO LMS continues touring the Northeast\u00a0on Tuesday\u00a0night (June 25) at Canandaigua (N.Y.) Motorsports Park.<\/p>\n
