Clanton Captures Seventh Victory of 2002

Hello Citizen readers! It's so nice to have the opportunity not only to drive for a living, but also to get the chance to talk about my profession with my hometown community. I always seem to have good news, and this week is no exception. We raced this weekend in Odessa, Missouri at I-70 Speedway - a high banked and rough surfaced track. Several calls by the ASA officials nearly prevented our winning, but we persevered and captured our seventh victory of the 2002 season. I don't want to get ahead of myself, but I think that we have a shot at capturing our first ASA Series Championship. Currently we have a 195-point lead over our closest competitor.
