Phillips Celebrates in Lucas Oil Speedway Victory Lane

In Saturday night’s program presented by Benne Media, Springfield’s Terry Phillips and J.C. Morton were triumphant as a total of 97 cars checked into the pits for the third week of action at the Lucas Oil Speedway.

Prepping for next Wednesday’s USMTS Wednesday Madness program at Lucas Oil Speedway, Phillips captured the Pitts Homes USRA Modified feature by a comfortable margin.

“We had too much time on our hands this winter and I’ve rebuilt this thing three times,” Phillips said. “So I thought we’d better race it sometime. I’m thinking, hoping what we’ve done has helped. It felt pretty good.”

Third-starting Robbie Reed sprinted to the early lead before Phillips went around him on the outside coming to the start-finish line to finish lap five.

Following a lap-eight caution and ensuing restart, Phillips gradually pulled away and, without another caution, dominated. He wound up winning by 4.1 seconds over Reed, who edged Paden Phillips by a few feet for the runner-up spot.

Mitch Keeter finished fourth and Robert Heydenreich was fifth.
