Late pass propels Pierce to LOLMDS win at Brownstown

By Series PR

BROWNSTOWN, Ind. - Bobby Pierce passed race leader Jonathan Davenport as the two headed to the white flag and held off Davenport on the final circuit to win Sunday afternoon’s 39th Annual Jackson 100 at Brownstown Speedway.

The win also marks Pierce’s third trip to Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Victory Lane this season and his first at the historic quarter-mile oval.

Mason Zeigler led the first 17 laps until Tim McCreadie powered to the point. McCreadie held the lead until lap 60 when Blairsville, Georgia’s Davenport roared from the sixth-starting position to take over the top spot. After a caution with 19 laps to go, Davenport began to pull away.

Pierce remained glued to the bottom of the track as Davenport’s lead slowly evaporated. Pierce pulled even with Davenport in the waning laps and was able to make the pass as the two exited turn four heading for the white-flag. Pierce then held off a last lap effort by Davenport to take the victory.

Tim McCreadie crossed the finish line in third, with Jimmy Owens in fourth and Darrell Lanigan in fifth.

“Wow, out of all of the places to win my first big race of the season, I didn’t think it would happen here at Brownstown,” Pierce said. “You have to stay so focused here. It gets really slick. To finish second to JD (Davenport) would not have been bad. Thanks to all the fans for coming. I don’t know what to say, my emotions have taken over.”

With his runner-up finish, Davenport will maintain the series points lead heading to Georgia’s Dixie Speedway and Rome Speedway.

Kent Robinson, Earl Pearson, Jr., Josh Richards, Ricky Thornton, Jr. and Nick Hoffman rounded out the top ten.
