Phillips Masters I-80 in
NCRA Late Model Spectacular
By

Greenwood, Nebraska
(July 2, 2010) -
Terry Phillips of
Springfield, Missouri was
the class of the field as he
took the lead with six laps
remaining and never looked
back to win his second
O'Reilly/NCRA late model
feature of the season on
Friday night at I-80
Speedway in Greenwood,
Nebraska. The race was a
co-sanctioned affair with
the Lucas Oil MLRA and the
MARS DirtCar series.
Chad Simpson started on the
pole for the thirty lap
feature and quickly jumped
out into the lead. Two time
and defending O'Reilly/NCRA
series champion Kyle Berck
started third and by lap
three had moved himself
passed Simpson to take the
lead.
Berck continued out in front
but behind him all eyes were
on Phillips as he moved his
Andy's Frozen Custard
sponsored super late model
up from his eighteenth
starting position and into
the top five.
Phillips was on the leaders
bumper after a late race
caution and on the restart
on lap twenty-four, took
over the top spot from Berck
and would go on to take the
victory. Alan Vaughn
finished third while former
two-time series champion Al
Purkey worked his way up
from his twenty-third
starting position to finish
fourth. Jason Utter rounded
out the top five.
Heat races for the 44
car field were won by Evan
Hubert, Cory Zeitner, Denny
Eckrich, Chad Simspon and
Vaughn while Phillips and
Joe Kosiski took home the
two "B" features.
