Duvall survives Waco, looks forward to Ark-La-Tex Speedway

Joe Duvall and the Club 91 team competed in the 7th Annual Day Motor Sports Texas Spring Nationals at the Heart O’ Texas Speedway, Feb. 18-20, during the second round of USMTS Winter Speedweeks with a mixed bag of results. Never drawing better than fourth for a heat race start, he found himself in one of the Real Racing Wheels "B" Mains each night, but found a way to make the "A" Main all three nights too.

On Thursday, 'Big Daddy' finished fourth in his heat race and then third in the "B" Main to earn a spot in the main event where he would up 22nd. Friday saw Joe settle for sixth in his heat a fifth-place finish in the "B" Main forced him to use a USMTS provisional to start the "A" Main where he raced from 25th to 16th. On Saturday, he finished fifth in his heat and the "B" Main. Using another provisional, he was unable to finish the main event and wound up 26th.

The third round of USMTS Winter Speedweeks happens at the Ark-La-Tex Speedway for the 5th Annual Cajun Clash on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Feb. 25-27, preceded by a Wednesday evening practice from 6-9 p.m. with free admission to the grandstands and $20 pit passes.

Thursday’s racing program starts at 7 p.m. with $2,000 to win USMTS Modifieds. On Friday, the green flag unfurls at 7 p.m. with USMTS Modifieds competing for $3,000 to win and Saturday’s finale at Gene Boyter’s popular high-banked oval gets started at 6 p.m. USMTS Modifieds will race for $4,000 to win.
