MONROE, La. — Ryan Godown picked up his second win in three nights on the Bob Hilbert Sportswear Short Track Super Series Fueled By Sunoco Cajun Swing.
Godown’s win came at one of the country’s state-of-the-art facilities at ‘The Rev’ on Revolution Park. The event was the first appearance for the STSS and the big-block/small-block Modifieds at the nationally known facility.
“I haven’t seen a dirt track this awesome and this close to Bridgeport (N.J.) before tonight,” explained Godown of his fondness of The Rev and its likening to his home track in the Garden State.
The historic triumph puts Godown in the driver’s seat for the Wegner Automotive championship on the Cajun Swing, having added $5,000-plus to his weekly total for his efforts at The Rev.
Godown’s chase for his second win in three nights began from the outside of the front row, with Derrick McGrew Jr. going from the pole position.
Godown quickly made his way to the top spot and set the pace in the early going. Stewart Friesen, who started third, made quick work of McGrew Jr. to climb to the runner-up spot and set his sights on Godown.
The race’s first yellow came on lap nine, when Joe Boswell slowed on the front straightaway due to a mechanical failure, and collected Erick Rudolph, ending his night prematurely.
After multiple restarts in the early going, Godown continued to pace Friesen out front while Willy Decker and Mike Mahaney traded third and fourth multiple times.
On the lap-16 restart, Friesen timed Godown’s jump perfectly. Friesen slid up in front of Godown into the first turn, with Godown choosing the top for the restart.
Friesen appeared well on his way to do what he does and drive away with an STSS triumph. However, his lead was short-lived. On lap 18, Friesen’s right-rear wheel came off the Halmar International No. 44 as he entered the first turn. Friesen’s car flipped multiple times but he walked away uninjured.
Godown’s new challenger was STSS South Region champion Mike Mahaney.
Mahaney appeared to be one step behind Godown throughout the second half of the feature. Despite multiple restarts, the “Ringoes Rocket” maintained his edge throughout the event.
Mahaney held on for second in his George Huttig-owned No. 35 and Matt Sheppard quietly rounded out the podium finishers. Jack Lehner brought his No. 2 to a fourth-place finish and Willy Decker rounded out the top five.
The finish:
Ryan Godown, Mike Mahaney, Matt Sheppard, Jack Lehner, Willy Decker, Rocky Warner, Derrick McGrew Jr., Tommy Rascoe, Kodey Keimig, Keith Badiali, Mike Krompegal, Eric Williams, John Lutes, Richard Holt, David Forbis, Stewart Friesen, Dale Wester, Cody Robbins, Steve Davis, Brent Buckley, Erick Rudolph, Jon White Jr., Joe Boswell, Caleb Dillard, Greg Dillard
