Bryan Hulbert \u2013 WHEATLAND, Mo. (September 15, 2023) Finding the line with three laps to run Friday night, Jake Bubak slipped by Jason Martin for Friday\u2019s preliminary win at the Hockett\/McMillin Memorial at Lucas Oil Speedway.<\/p>\n
The 23rd driver to score an ASCS National win at Lucas Oil Speedway in 43 visits; the win is Bubak\u2019s second with the tour in 2023 and third overall.<\/p>\n
“We obviously didn’t have anything for Jason there before the rubber came in. Their car was so good in the slick, but that’s the fortunate part about running second. I could smell it before the last yellow, and I just cheated my entry on both ends until it stuck, so I went in there a little harder the next time and was able to clear him,\u201d stated Bubak of the pass on Martin.<\/p>\n
Taking off with the lead at the start, Jason Martin quickly put distance on the field as Bubak slipped into second on the start. Working traffic, the race came under caution on Lap 12 as a slower car spun as the lead pack worked by, collecting Wayne Johnson, Kaleb Johnson, Ayrton Gennetten, and Matt Covington, who had all been battling in and around the top five. Everyone was able to restart.<\/p>\n
Pulling away again on the restart, one more caution on Lap 17 presented a shot for the No. 1x, but it would be in the closing laps that the No. 1x gained ground. Sweeping into the middle groove as Martin ran the rim with five to go, Jake finally pulled inside the No. 36 through the first and second turns to take the point with three laps to go and secured the right of the front row in Saturday\u2019s feature event.<\/p>\n
Jason Martin held on for second and will start third on Saturday night. Rolling up from seventh, Sean McClelland crossed third, with Jace Park advancing from 12th to fourth. Transferring from a B-Feature, Miles Paulus took the green from 17th and proceeded to make his way to fifth.<\/p>\n
Jeffrey Newell, sixth, was followed by Hank Davis, who started 11th. Kyle Bellm crossed eighth, followed by Colton Hardy from 21st. Matt Covington completed the top ten.<\/p>\n
Friday\u2019s field included 45 drivers to bring the weekend total to 85. The Top 8 locked in drivers are Ryan Timms (210), Jake Bubak (207), Jason Martin (202), Blake Hahn (199), Jamie Ball (192), Sean McClelland (189), Jace Park (181), Garet Williamson (179). The rest of the field will drop into five LCQ events, taking the top two from each. Positions third through eighth go to twin B-Features, with the rest into C-Features.<\/p>\n
Saturday\u2019s event goes green at 6:35 P.M. (CDT).<\/p>\n
