Race #1 – January 28, 2017 Desoto Speedway

Inman wins first race of the season at Desoto Speedway By SCOTT LOCKWOOD

The BG Products Southern Sprint Car Shootout Series was on hand to kick off their 2017 season with a 30-lap feature. Sport Allen led the field early, but Mickey Kempgens was the car on the move. He charged from his eighth starting spot all the way to third in just four laps and was just behind Allen and John Inman when the caution flew for Carli Yent’s stalled car on lap 10. Allen sped away from Inman from Kempgens on the restart. Kempgens dropped out of the race with a mechanical failure on lap 18, leaving Allen and Inman to duke it out at the front of the field. With two laps to go, Dude Teate spun out while running in fourth. Gary Wiggins was also collected, and Allen spun into Teate’s car while slowing down for the caution. Allen was sent to the back of the lead-lap cars due to needing a second push-off. He would eventually finish fifth. Inman found himself in a two-lap battle with Jason Kimball and Troy DeCaire, who lost his seventh-place starting spot after spinning during hot laps. He got the jump on Kimball on the restart and drove on to the win – his first ever win in a sprint car. Kimball finished second, followed by Johnny Gilbertson and DeCaire.
