Lanigan Ends Years Of Frustration At Tri-City Speedway With Convincing Victory In ‘Oil Region Labor Day Classic’

FRANKLIN, PA - Sept. 5, 2010 - Tri-City Speedway is no longer a thorn in Darrell Lanigan’s side.

The red-hot driver from Union, Ky., finally ended years of World of Outlaws Late Model Series frustration at the half-mile oval, driving to a convincing victory in Sunday night’s 50-lap Oil Region Labor Day Classic A-Main.

Lanigan, 40, roared off the outside pole to assume command at the initial green flag and never looked back in his GottaRace.com Rocket car. He controlled the entire distance, keeping Clint Smith of Senoia, Ga., at bay en route to his seventh win of the season on the national tour and his long-awaited first-ever at Tri-City.

By Andrew Kunas

ELMA, Wash. – Dave Cantu’s wife ended up spending her birthday at the race track with her husband on Saturday. Fortunately for Cantu, he made up for it by winning some spending cash – in the form of coins at least – when he won the Pocket Change Challenge main event for the PHRA dwarf cars at Grays Harbor Raceway.

Cantu, from Hillsboro, Ore. nearly lost it at the end when Mitch Meeuwsen made a hard last lap charge that saw the two drivers coming out of the final turn side-by-side, but Cantu won at the finish line by a mere thirty-five thousandths of a second to take his third main event win of the season and complete a sweep of the evening at Grays Harbor Raceway as Cantu also won his heat race and the Bridgetown Electric A-Dash.
