Column By: BRIAN WALKER / WORLD OF OUTLAWS – ELDON, MO – Jacob Allen’s second career victory makes him the 96th multi-time winner in World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series history.
The win also moves him beyond his uncle, Joey Allen (1 win).
It’s the 63rd Series victory for his family with another 30 wins from father Bobby Allen and 30 more from nephew Logan Schuchart.
Allen’s victory ends a 104-race dry spell since his first-career win which came on September 11, 2020 at Dodge City (KS) Raceway Park.
He also became the fourth different winner through four years of the Jason Johnson Classic, joining Gravel, McFadden & Sweet.
The Shark Racing #1A recorded the first perfect night of the 2022 season by setting Slick Woody’s QuickTime Award (11.464), winning his NOS Energy Drink Heat Race, winning the DIRTVision Fast Pass Dash, and winning the Jason Johnson Classic Feature.
What a heartbreaker, however, for Brady Bacon.
Bacon was three laps away from his first-career World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series win when the right rear tire went flat. He finished 17th, but nonetheless, a spectacular showing for the Hinck #21H in their first night.
More to come…
