Kyle Inman Takes Sportsman Shootout 50 Win Saturday At Fulton Speedway
Story By: DAVE MEDLER / FULTON SPEEDWAY – FULTON, NY – Once again the DIRTcar Sportsman impressed as part of the 34th Annual Stadium International Trucks Outlaw 200 Weekend.
It would take ten heat races, five consolations and three last chance qualifiers to set the impressive field for the DIRTcar Sportsman Championship Series Industrial Tire of CNY Sportsman Shootout 50.
After the original start was called back for a jingle at the back of the field, Matt Janczuk would take early control of the race.
After a couple quick yellows, Janczuk and Kyle Inman were in a two-car breakaway at the front, leaving Jack Meeks, Remington Hamm and Bob Henry Jr. to race for third through fifth.
With 15 laps showing on the scoring tower, Janczuk and Inman still showed the way as Meeks and Henry started closing the gap with Fulton track champion Jackson Gill joining the battle.
The yellow flag would wave on lap 24 erasing Janczuk’s half-a-straightaway lead.
Janczuk bolted out to a comfortable lead as Inman looked for a way to close the gap. Henry, Meeks and Zach Sobotka who started 15th showed on the scoring tower.
With 11 laps to go a caution would wipe out Janczuk’s lead giving Inman and the rest of the top-five another shot to steal the win.
After dogging Janczuk lap after lap, Inman was finally able to get by on lap 46. One lap later the yellow flag would wave to give Janczuk one last shot to take the lead back and the $2,500 winner’s share.
When the green came back out Inman was a man on a mission as he drove away for his first ever Outlaw 200 Weekend Sportsman win. Matt Janczuk, Brad Rouse (Hard Charger of the race from 29th) Chris Mackey and Jackson Gill rounded out the top-five.
This coming Saturday, October 12 will be the 2019 season finale at the Fulton Speedway during Super DIRT Week. On the race card is the revamped ‘Win and You’re In.’
