Clanton Finished Second after Starting Ninth<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"071316_Ogilvie_Richards\"OGILVIE, Minn. \u2013 July 13, 2016 \u2013 Josh Richards held his pointer finger high in the sky Wednesday night, repeating his victory lane celebration in the World of Outlaws Craftsman\u00ae Late Model Series for the 10th time this season at Ogilvie Raceway. It was his 68th<\/sup> career series win.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was tough, I\u2019ll tell you,\u201d Richards said. \u201cI want to thank the track guys. It\u2019s a beautiful facility and I wasn\u2019t expecting it to be this nice. It\u2019s a great place to come. I didn\u2019t think we\u2019d have 10 [wins] this year and this early.\u201d<\/p>\n

Richards, who led the field into the green flag for 50 laps, never lost his top spot. Within the first 10 laps, Richards widened the gap between him and the field with his No. 1 Valvoline\/ Seubert Calf Ranches Rocket car; the other two cars in the podium positions began to separate themselves as well.<\/p>\n

On lap nine, Richards caught-up to the back of the pack only for the race\u2019s first caution to follow on the next lap.\u00a0 On the restart, Rookie of the Year contender Tyler Erb took the highest line on the 3\/8-mile oval, passing Eric Wells. Wells prevents a slippery slope, slamming the door on a charging Steve Casebolt. By lap 15, Richards extended his lead to 3.66 seconds.<\/p>\n

While Richards maintained his lead spot, the rest of the top five shuffled. But, there was one driver in the top ten ready to make his move following \u00a0the races second caution on lap 13. Defending Series Champion Shane Clanton, who started ninth, made his move on the restart, carrying more momentum than most of the cars in front of him. Clanton’s No. 25 Weldbank Energy\/ Coopers Meat Packers Capital car settled into the second spot, just 1.806 seconds behind the leader.<\/p>\n

For Richards and Clanton \u2013 a frequently revisited battle in 2016 \u2013it was a matter of follow the leader for this particular A-Main. Richards, with a 1.826 second lead, got caught-up in a group of four lapped cars. This sequence brought his lead down to 1.692 seconds; Clanton enjoyed an empty straightaway to close the gap. However, Clanton fell into the same hole. Richards rebuilt his lead to 4.253 seconds with 14 to laps remaining.<\/p>\n

With 11 laps to go Richards continued to hammer-down on the throttle, creating a 6.18-second gap between him and Clanton. Five lapped cars separated Richards from Clanton. On lap 44, Richards enjoyed a 7.965-second lead \u2013 until a caution the next lap regrouped the field.<\/p>\n

\u201cI knew Shane was really good, and I knew he started back and he made me worry a little bit,\u201d Richards said. \u201cMy guys were telling me to go all over the place, so I just tried to get back into a rhythm. It had grip in places but it was hard to get a consistent feel. That last restart I thought he\u2019d get a pretty good shot at it. I just tried to stay smooth the best I could.\u201d<\/p>\n

Though this caution gave Clanton a fighting chance, Richards\u2019 strong restart prevented any attempts at a lead change.<\/p>\n

\u201cOverall, we had a pretty good night,\u201d Clanton said. \u201cWell, [the No. 1 team] got their program turned around from last year. They\u2019re way more consistent than we are with wins. We\u2019ve run top five and second to him, but hopefully we can turn it around tomorrow night \u2013 we win and he gets second.\u201d<\/p>\n

Richards and Clanton finished one-two respectively. As for the final podium spot, Casebolt muscled his No. c9 Lias Tire\/ Sudz Car Wash Rocket car past Wells for third place. This was Casebolt\u2019s fourth top five finish of the season.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been awhile,\u201d said Casebolt, grinning. \u201cI guess we\u2019re not totally washed-up. Eric and I swapped spots a couple times, and he\u2019s really improved a ton. I asked him at the draw what he\u2019s doing different with his life that I need to take advantage of for myself. He wouldn\u2019t tell me. It\u2019s special to get a podium. We just need to win.\u201d<\/p>\n
