Richards Rockets To Atomic Win
4 min read
CHILLICOTHE, OHIO-Josh Richards took the lead on lap 26 and blitzed to his first-ever Atomic Speedway win in the World of Outlaws (WoO) 40-lap event. Greggie Oliver, Jackson, Ohio blitzed by Joel Watson to claim the exciting AMRA Modified Main and Jamie Adams grabbed the Sort Mod main.
Richards kept his recent World of Outlaws Late Model Series hot streak rolling Friday night with a convincing victory during the first of the national tour’s back-to-back nights of racing at Atomic Speedway.
Richards, the three-time WoO LMS champion from Shinnston, W.Va., overtook race-long leader Darrell Lanigan of Union, Ky., on lap 26 of Friday’s 40-lap race at the 3/8-mile oval and drove his Valvoline-sponsored Rocket Chassis house car to his third victory in the past four WoO LMS events.
The $8,650 triumph marked Richards’ seventh WoO LMS win of the season and the 56th of his career. Even more significantly, the victory was Richards’ first at Atomic Speedway.
“This is an awesome racetrack,” Richards said of the historic Buckeye State race facility formerly known as K-C Raceway. “I love coming here, but this is one that’s always alluded me. I actually won my first big check here 10 years ago, but it was just a dash. It feels good to finally win one here.”
Racing resumes Saturday night August 22nd with go cart races slated for 9 a.m. Stock Car racing begins at 6 p.m.
