R.J. Conley Advances into North/South Shootout

(WHEELERSBURG, OH – August 17, 2017)  R.J. Conley and his #71c team invaded the venerable Florence Speedway in Union, Kentucky on August 10-12 for the 35th Annual 'North/South 100,' which was once again sanctioned by the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series.  The three-day extended weekend in the Commonwealth of Kentucky kicked off on Thursday night with the 'North/South Shootout,' which boasted a $10,000 top prize and drew a stout 67 car field.  R.J. knocked down the eleventh quickest time in Group B during qualifying prior to grabbing the third and final transfer spot through his stacked heat race.  The Wheelersburg, Ohio ace eventually wound up nineteenth in the final finishing order of the 50-lap feature event that ran caution-free for the entire distance.

On Friday evening, the 'North/South 100' officially got underway with a double set of qualifying heat races at the Cincinnati-area facility.  R.J. ran third in his first heat race of the night and ninth in his final prelim.  He then finished tenth in his B-Main on Saturday, which unfortunately did not transfer him into the $50,000 to win 'North/South 100.  Complete results from the crown jewel extravaganza can be accessed by clicking on http://lucasdirt.com.
