Stockon Wins Buckeye Machine BOSS Family Fun Night at Eldora
ROSSBURG, OH (May 17) – A first-time visit to Eldora Speedway’s victory lane is becoming the norm rather than the exception, as Saturday night’s Mobil 1 Family Fun Night action produced another new Eldora winner, as Chase Stockon thrilled a huge throng of chilled race fans.
After knocking on the door several times without success, Stockon finally etched his name into the Eldora record books, by besting a strong 42-car field of Buckeye Machine BOSS (Buckeye Outlaw Sprint Series) non winged Sprint Cars.
“I have to tell you,” shouted the jubilant Sullivan, IN driver, “my biggest win so far was at Terre Haute, but this has to rank right up there with it.”
Stockon shot into the lead at the dropping of the green flag, with Justin Grant behind him in pursuit as the pole-sitter, Brandon Spithaler, dropped to third. While Stockon began opening a margin over Grant, deep the in the field a pair of drivers making their moves noticed were Robert Ballou and Brady Bacon.
Ballou completed lap one of the 25-lap A-Feature in eighth spot and every other lap was picking off the cars until he moved into third spot behind Stockon and Grant. After four laps of riding third, Ballou made his bid on lap 13 to move into second and set up a whale of a battle with Stockon. The duo began executing successful slide jobs on each through the lapped traffic, with the crowd in awe at the finesse.
Three laps from the finish, Stockon was able to pin a lapped car between himself and Ballou to take the victory by .270 seconds. Grant hung on for third, while Brandon Whited came on strong in the second-half of the race to finish fourth, just ahead of Mike Miller in fifth.
While Bacon didn’t finish in the top five, he easily passed the most cars on the track. After starting 18th in the 24-car field, he was dialed in and had gotten as high as sixth before looping the car to bring out the caution flag and a restart from the tail of the field. Undaunted, he again picked up where he left off, but simply ran out of time as he had to settle for eighth at the finish.
