Co.

ZANESVILLE, Oh. - July 31. Darrell Lanigan of Union, Ky., returned to his winning ways on Saturday at
Muskingum County Speedway, dominating the ‘Pepsi 50’ for his third win in four starts during the World of Outlaws
Late Model Series ‘Ohio-Pennsylvania Speedweek.’
The 2008 WoO LMS champion was flawless before a big crowd in the national tour’s fourth annual event at Ronnie
Moran’s three-eighths-mile oval. He raced off the outside pole to grab the lead at the start and
controlled the remainder of the distance, turning back an early challenge from Steve Shaver, and then keeping his
rivals at arm's length in an A-Main that was run without a caution flag.
Tim McCreadie of Watertown, N.Y., and Bart Hartman of Zanesville, Ohio, spent the last five laps battling for the
runner-up spot without drawing close enough to make a move on Lanigan. McCreadie nipped Hartman by 0.050 of a
second at the finish line.
