FORCED TO SCRATCH AT BATESVILLE...
(May
18, 2012) The Will Vaught Racing team invaded
the Batesville Motor Speedway in Locust Grove, Arkansas
on Thursday, May 17 for an open practice session leading
up to the inaugural 'Bad Boy 98.' The Lucas Oil Late Model
Dirt Series program drew nearly 50 competitors to BMS
and each driver had their eyes fixated on the $10,000
top prize and the trophy of a 2012 Chevy Camaro. Unfortunately,
Will Vaught broke a transmission shaft during practice
on Thursday, which wiped out a lot of rear-end components
underneath his #1v Warrior racecar. He was forced to scratch
from the remainder of the weekend and will now go to work
fixing his car for the upcoming 'Show-Me 100' at the Lucas
Oil (MO) Speedway on May 25-26.

in Springfield, Missouri. The 6th Annual 'John Kuntz Memorial'
took place at Springfield and the $3,000 to win battle
was co-sanctioned by the Lucas Oil MLRA Series and the
MARS DIRTcar Series. Will Vaught ran third in his loaded
heat race and later finished a solid sixth in the 40-lap
main event. Will, who is now tied for the top spot in
points on the MLRA tour, crossed underneath the checkers
behind only race winner John Anderson, Jesse Stovall,

of the 2012 racing season on Saturday night, April 7 at
the I-80 Speedway in Greenwood, Nebraska! The Lucas Oil
MLRA Series and DART Corn Belt Clash Series co-sanctioned
the one-day show in the Cornhusker State. Will ran fourth
in his loaded heat race to earn the twelfth starting spot
in the feature event. In his first trip to I-80, Will
blasted through the talented field and grabbed the point
on the twenty-fourth circuit. The Crane, Missouri standout
then led the remainder of the distance to record the $3,000
triumph over Chris Simpson, Terry Phillips, John Anderson,
and Tim Isenberg!
A day earlier, the #1 team found themselves
in the pit area at the Thunderbird Speedway in Muskogee,
Oklahoma on Friday for the MARS DIRTcar Series-sanctioned
'Charlie Fulton Memorial.' Will won his heat race in preliminary
action and later rolled off from the inside of the third
row in the $5,555 to win main event. During the course
of the 55-lapper, Will had moved up to the third position
late in the race, but later retired with a smoking car
and wound up thirteenth in the final rundown. Complete

field en route to the commanding prelim victory.

A-Main behind only winner Jack Sullivan, John Anderson,
and Morgan Bagley. Full results from Texas can be accessed
