Top Ten at US Speedway for McMahan
Paul McMahan picked up his seventh Top-10 finish of the season, as he came home fourth in the A-main at U.S. 36 Raceway in Osborne, Missouri last night. He battled eventual winner Jason Meyers early on for the lead and was inches from taking the lead entering turn one on several occasions, but he car washed up the track each time after hitting a rut that steadily developed in the middle of the first turn.
“We would have liked to have pulled off a win, but the consistent finishes show that we are continuing to get better each day, †said McMahan, driver of the Bass Pro Shops Eagle. “The crew and I are communicating very well, and I can’t say enough about the team. Paul Kistler builds us one heck of a Chevy motor. We’re getting consistent, and as long as we continue to be consistent, one of these days will we will win some races. †Donny Schatz the current championship point leader had a very solid night as he earned his 13th Top-Five finish of the season, coming home fifth. He lined up ninth for the 40- lap A-Feature and patiently worked his way forward. He began the night by claiming a $1,000 bonus from Cox Metal Design & Metal Fabrication in Altoona, Iowa for being quickest in time trials.
McMahan will wrap up his weekend in the Show-Me State tonight as the World of Outlaws visits Lake Ozark Speedway in Eldon, Missouri.
