Gustin Ambushes USMTS Posse in Amarillo

Posted on May 8, 2017 by KBOE Administrator

AMARILLO, Texas (May 6) — After just barely making the cut for the main event in his heat race, Ryan Gustin rallied from the 11th starting spot to register his 81st career USMTS victory Saturday night during the 8th Annual Amarillo Ambush at the Route 66 Motor Speedway.

Gustin’s teammate, Jason Hughes, garnered the Sybesma Graphics Pole Award and set the pace for the first dozen trips around the 3/8-mile high-banked clay oval outside of Amarillo, Texas.

Lapped traffic played havoc with Hughes early on which allowed Stormy Scott to quickly close the gap and challenge the three-time USMTS national champ for the lead.

As they completed lap 12, Scott edged even with Hughes at the flagstand. With Scott to his inside, Hughes went upstairs to try and dispose of the troublesome back-marker.

Sliding up in front of the leader, Hughes made contact that sent the lapped car spinning into the path of Scott. The melee, which also collected Chris Brown, sent Hughes to the rear of the field, Scott to the infield and Brown to the point for the restart.

Gustin, who sat seventh before the caution, inherited the fifth spot and immediately blasted into third after the restart. ‘The Reaper’ sped past R.C. Whitwell three laps later and set his sights on Brown.

With 18 laps in the books, Gustin pulled alongside Brown coming out of turn four. He took the lead on lap 20 only to have Brown regain the advantage for the next two laps.

After a side-by-side battle that lasted nearly ten laps, Gustin pulled in front for good on lap 23 and proceeded to pull away over the final 17 laps to collect the $3,000 top prize.

Brown, meanwhile, had his hands full with Whitwell over the final ten laps, eventually settling for third behind the current Grant Junghans Rookie of the Year points leader.

After posting a season-best fourth-place finish one day earlier in Lubbock, Texas, Joe ‘Big Daddy’ Duvall climbed nine spots to repeat the feat Saturday night and earn the Wehrs Machine & Racing Products “Trick Move” of the Race Award.

Austin Bonner finished fifth for his career-best finish in USMTS competition, and Zane DeVilbiss passed 14 cars en route to a sixth-place finish and the KSE Racing Products Hard Charger Award.

Dereck Ramirez wound up seventh, Hughes clawed his way back to salvage an eighth-place finish, local veteran Dee Gossett nabbed the ninth spot and Zack VanderBeek rounded out the top ten at the finish line.

Despite a disappointing 11th-place result, Cade Dillard remains atop the points standings as the series heads into the home stretch for the Summit Racing Southern Region presented by Production Jars.

Next up for the modified maniacs of the USMTS Casey’s Cup powered by S&S Fishing & Rental is a four-night, four-track swing through Texas to wrap up the Summit Racing Southern Region campaign for 2017.

Action kicks off on Wednesday, May 10, at the Heart O’ Texas Speedway in Elm Mott, followed by a Thursday night gig at the Superbowl Speedway in Greenville. Friday takes the rugged USMTS road warriors to the Kennedale Speedway Park and the curtain closes in Kilgore at the Lonestar Speedway on Saturday.

All four events pay $3,000 to win. The Summit Racing Southern Region champion will earn $10,000 while all drivers ranked among the top 15 in points-along with any others with perfect attendance in the region-are locked in for this year’s Hunt for the Casey’s USMTS National Championship which carries a $25,000 payoff for the 2017 titlist.

Man Once Convicted in 2009 Iowa Slaying Reaches Plea Deal

Posted on May 5, 2017 by KBOE Administrator

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — A man once convicted of killing an Iowa City landlord in 2009 has made a deal to plead guilty.

A motion submitted Thursday in Johnson County District Court doesn’t say what charge will be pleaded to by Justin Marshall. The motion asked the court to set a hearing for the plea and sentencing.

In 2013 Marshall was convicted of shooting to death 64-year-old John Versypt in a stairway at the Broadway Condominiums in southeast Iowa City. Police and prosecutors have said it was a robbery gone awry.

But Marshall’s conviction was overturned, and the Iowa Supreme Court ruled last June that he should get a new trial because authorities relied on the testimony of a jailhouse informant, violating Marshall’s right to an attorney.
