Hatton is Dandy in 9th Annual NASRA June Jam at Bluegrass Speedway
Bardstown, KY- June 19, 2010- The National All Star Racing Association made its first official appearance of 2010 at Bluegrass Speedway on Saturday evening and Aaron Hatton would drive away $3,000 richer after picking up the victory in the 9th Annual June Jam event and it would also be Hatton’s first-ever Bluegrass Speedway feature win. Other feature event winners for the evening included Shane Lafollette of Hodgenville, KY in UMP Street Stocks and Jason Wheatley of Loretto, KY in UMP Modifieds.
The drop of the green flag on the 9th Annual June Jam main event for the NASRA Late Models would not see a full lap completed as five cars would tangle in turn three to draw the only caution of the race, as Arnie Fields, Michael Chilton, Jeff Watson, Bobby Wolter, Jr., and Christian Rayburn all involved, with only Fields not able to continue. Once action got underway, Steve Barnett would drive the race lead after battling Aaron Hatton on the initial lap, followed by Justin Rattliff, Dustin Neat, and Marty O’Neal. Mike Jewell would take fifth on lap 2, while Rattliff and Neat battled for third. Neat would score the third position from Rattliff on lap 5, while Barnett held about a ten car length lead on Hatton. With Barnett continuing to hold a comfortable lead, Neat would set his sights on Hatton for the runner-up and after a brief battle, Neat would take second from Hatton on lap 13. As the halfway signal flew on the 30 lap event, Neat would begin to close the gap on Barnett for the top spot, while Rattliff and Jewell would pressure Hatton for third, with Rattliff sneaking by Hatton for third on lap 17 and bringing Mike Jewell along to fourth, shuffling Hatton back to fifth. Jewell would then hound Rattliff for third and take the position on lap 20, as Neat would challenge Barnett for the top spot. Jewell would make a bold move to the outside on lap 21 in turn one and grab the second spot from Neat and continue to rim-ride past Barnett to take the lead on lap 22, with Hatton going from fourth to second on the same circuit as he would maneuver his mount to the top side as well, as Barnett, Neat, and Rattliff danced three-wide for the third spot. Hatton would mount a charge on Jewell and would fire a turn one and two slidejob to grab the lead on lap 24. Barnett would win the battle for third momentarily only to have Rattliff around him on lap 27. With Hatton pulling away at this point, Rattliff would scoot under Jewell exiting turn two on lap 28, but would not be able to mount a charge on Hatton. With the duel checkered flags waving, Hatton would pick up a popular win behind the wheel of the Russell Hatton owned Checkered Flag Auto Sales/ Russell Hatton Mobile Home Rentals sponsored #33 Rocket Chassis, Draime Race Engines powered machine. Rattliff would take second, with Jewell third, while Barnett and Neat completed the top five. The remainder of the top ten would be Marty O’Neal, 12th starting Victor Lee, Todd Coffman, Tim Tungate, and Skylar Marlar. In preliminary action, Jewell would be top qualifier among 32 entries at 16.314 seconds. Rattliff would win Wayne Bowen Racing Supply heat one, Neat would take Budda Bert Transmissions Sales and Service heat two, Hatton would win Arizona Sport Shirts heat three, and Barnett would claim Cruise with the Champions heat four. The Double H Race Fabrications B-Mains would go to David Webb and Jeff Watson, with series provisionals going to Bobby Wolter, Jr. and Christian Rayburn, while Lee Devasier was the track provisional.
The 12 lap UMP Street Stock feature event would again be a two-car battle between Shane Lafollette and Timmy Glazer, with Lafollette coming out on top this week to pick up his fourth feature win of the season in UMP Street Stock competition at Bluegrass Speedway in the seat of the David Copley owned Advance Auto Parts/Larue Insurance/ Geneva’s Florist and Gifts/K&K Flower Shop/Select Designs/Rock’s Tobacco Company/ Henry Miller #1 U.K. Fan sponsored #63 Ford Thunderbird. Glazer would take runner-up honors, with Joe Walker and Bobby Settles completing the field. Lafollette was also top qualifier, while Glazer won the dash.
In the 20 lap UMP Modified feature contest, Jason Wheatley and Benji Lee would pull away from the field in the middle stages of the event only to see a caution with five laps remaining bunch the field back together for one final restart. However, Wheatley would not be challenged on the this night and would keep Lee at bay over the final five circuits take his second straight UMP Modified feature win of the season at Bluegrass aboard the Kaylee and Tommy Wheatley owned St. Joe Garage/VFM Manufacturing/Mark Martin Chevrolet/Wheatley Seamless Gutters/Wheatley Tile Flooring/Wheatley Auto Sales/Brian Wheatley Landscaping/Gootee and Mattingly Heating and Cooling/Brady Excavating/Central Kentucky Electrical and Plumbing/Springfield Auto and Farm/Cozy Corner/Rosewood Golf Course/Nukem Graphics/TSM Shocks sponsored #7 Larry Shaw Race Car by Landers, Mullins Race Engines powered mount. Lee would take second place, with Josh Lucas making a pass on Michael England on lap 16 to claim third, while Dion Benningfield completed the top five. Rounding out the top ten were Joe Mattingly, Brad Schlosser, Adam Cole, Rocky Wilson, and Gary Parks. Heats would go Lee and Wheatley among the 14 entries on hand.
