Jimmy Owens Pockets $5,000 for Friday Night Magnolia Win
General Tire Clash at The Mag presented by Big River Steel Finale Saturday
Columbus, Mississippi (06/19/20) – One night after coming up just short of completing a sweep of the night’s qualifying, heat race, and feature action, Jimmy Owens bounced back on Friday night to snare the $5,000 winner’s check at Magnolia Motor Speedway.
The victory came with the COMP Cams Super Dirt Series (CCSDS) Super Late Models and Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series (LOLMDS) during the second round of the annual General Tire Clash at The Mag presented by Big River Steel.
For the second-straight night, Jimmy Owens started in the New Vision Graphics Pole Position for the 25-lap prelim and was this time joined on the front row by Tyler Erb. Owens shot to a commanding lead at the drop of the green flag as Erb stumbled out of the gate and slipped back to fourth.
Multiple cautions plagued the next few laps as Owens had to fend away charges from Josh Richards and Tyler Erb on the ensuing restarts.
Richards charged past Owens exiting turn four to lead lap 19, but Owens retook the lead in turn one. From there the Tennessee racer crept away from the pack to claim his second-career CCSDS win. Richards, Erb, Frank Heckenast Jr., and Michael Page completed the Top-5 finishers.
“It was tough to lead tonight because the track kept changing. Josh [Richards] got by me that one lap, but luckily I was able to get the lead back from him down in turn one,” Owens shared. “I can’t say enough about this Ramirez Motorsports / Rocket Chassis with Vic Hill power. This car is really good right now, and I’m really looking forward to tomorrow night’s 100 lapper.”
The General Tire Clash at the Mag - Presented by Big River Steel earthshaking finale is set for Saturday, June 20. The night’s LOLMDS / CCSDS program is headlined by B-Mains capped by a $15,000-to-win, 100-lap finale, which will be shown on MAVTV at a later date. Rounding out the program are the MSSS Street Stocks ($1,000-to-win / $75-to-start), Crate Racin’ USA Late Models ($1,000-to-win / $50-to-start), and Glenn’s BBQ and Fish Late Model Sportsman ($500-to-win / $50-to-start).
