Shane Clanton Bags Career First MACS Victory

>Jason Shank - Mid-Atlantic Championship Series
It’s not very often a racer will win their first race they have entered with a series but that is exactly what Locust Grove, GA’s Shane Clanton did as he captured the $5,000 top prize at Rick and Ernie Jones, Oval Tack Promotions at “The Rock” Allegany County Speedway, during the MACS sanctioned Western Maryland Open 50”. Clanton preserved the victory by holding off a hard charging Billy Decker as well as late race surges from Tim Fuller, Mike Balzano, and Chub Frank.

Clanton and Decker brought the star-studded 24 car field to green with Clanton seizing the lead. Shane built a commanding margin despite two early cautions. The first appeared on lap four for the #F1 of 2008 AlturnaMATS® MACS Rookie of the Year contender, Coleby Frye while the second, four quick circuits later for Doug Horton. Full Story
