Dustin Boney Wins a Thriller in COMP Cams SMP Opener at Humboldt Speedway
Humboldt, KS (07/15/11) – The 2nd Annual COMP Cams SMP Speedweek opened on Friday night at Humboldt Speedway (Humboldt, Kansas) as Dustin Boney outdueled Johnny Bone Jr. and a field of 35 competitors representing four states to claim the $1,500 win.
Terry Beckham II of Webb City, Missouri started the night by blazing to the fastest time in qualifications to earn the MRW Racing Wheel Pole Qualifier Award. He was joined on the front row by Dustin Boney. Tim Karrick and Luke Driskell also set fast time in their respective groups to lock into the second row starting spots for the 30 lap feature.
As the race went green, Beckham shot to the lead with Boney, Karrick, Driskell, and Jess Folk Jr. in pursuit. As Beckham worked the low side, Boney set up for business on the cushion, and exiting turn four on lap two it would be Boney, who bolted to the lead.
Over the next several laps Boney would creep away from the field as a great battle began to rage behind Beckham II for third between Karrick, Folk Jr., and Johnny Bone Jr. The leaders would catch lap traffic by lap 11, and the event's first caution flag would wave on lap 15 of the feature as Chance Bishop slowed in turn two.
As the race prepared to resume green flag conditions Boney maintained the lead with Beckham II, Folk Jr., Karrick, and Bone in tow. Folk Jr. would work past Beckham II for the second spot on the restart and would hold the position until Johnny Bone Jr. worked his way past Beckham II on lap 19 to take possession of the second spot. Over the next four laps, Bone Jr. would make a serious dent in Boney's lead, and by the time that the caution flag flew for a driveshaft on the track on lap 23, Bone had pulled even with the leader.
The crowd eagerly anticipated the ensuing restart and remaining seven laps, and they wouldn't be disappointed as Boney and Bone Jr. would battle side-by-side for the duration of the closing laps before Boney claimed the win by half a car length at the checkered flag over Bone Jr., Jess Folk Jr., Whitey Folk, and John Allen.
The RacingJunk.com first heat was won by Jess Folk Jr. with Whitey Folk winning the MRW Racing Wheels second heat. Johnny Bone Jr. claimed the B&B Racing Supply third heat, and Ryan Whitworth took top honors in the MSRMafia.com fourth heat. The Racing Header Service last chance qualifier was won by Justin Rexwinkle.
The 2nd Annual COMP Cams SMP Speedweek, will host its second event of the week on Saturday, July 16th at Brills Motor Speedway (Meeker, Oklahoma) with a $1,500 to win/$125 to start event. For more information, please visit www.SMPSeries.com.
