Opening-Lap Surge Propels Babb To Fourth World of Outlaws Late Model Series Victory Of '07 Saturday At Hagerstown Speedway
HAGERSTOWN, MD - June 2, 2007 - Shannon Babb has proven to be a quick study on the 2007 World of Outlaws Late Model Series.
With his flag-to-flag victory in Saturday night's 26th annual 'Conococheague 50' at Hagerstown Speedway, the Moweaqua, Ill., star was triumphant in his first career start at a track for the third time on this year's tour.
Babb, 33, didn't exactly expect his latest WoO LMS success, however.
"We didn't have our hopes up real high coming in here," said Babb, who previously won WoO LMS events in his first-ever visits to Virginia Motor Speedway (April 14) and Lernerville Speedway in Sarver, Pa. (April 17). "I talked to (three-time WoO LMS champ) Billy (Moyer) and a couple other guys during the week and they said we'd probably be in trouble (finding a comfortable setup), so I knew we had to change a lot of things to make our car suitable for the racetrack.
"I don't know if it was the humidity that helped us, but we just threw some stuff at the car and landed on something that worked pretty good for us."
After starting the night by earning his fourth National Interstate Insurance Fast Time Award of the season, an opening-lap, high-side surge in the A-Main propelled Babb from the fourth starting spot to the lead by the backstretch. He never looked back, repelling an early challenge from Clint Smith of Senoia, Ga., and defeating 2006 Mid-Atlantic Championship Series (MACS) titlist Jason Covert of York Haven, Pa., by 0.774 of a second.
Smith lost second to Covert on a lap-23 restart and couldn't regain the position, forcing him to settle for a third-place finish that kept him in the WoO LMS points lead. Fourth went to Chub Frank of Bear Lake, Pa., whose two-race win streak came to an end, and fifth was Josh Richards of Shinnston, W.Va., who enjoyed a personal-best run at Hagerstown after starting 10th.
Babb's flawless feature performance was born from a valuable lesson he learned in his heat race, during which he was passed for the win with just two laps remaining by reigning WoO LMS champ Tim McCreadie of Watertown, N.Y.
"I went soft on tires (in the heat), even though I knew everybody told me soft doesn't work here," said Babb, who used Hoosier tires on his Billy Moyer Sr.-owned Car City/J&J Steel Rayburn No. 18. "I figured, Well, maybe nobody ever tried (soft tires) before. I tried it, and it was pretty good for eight laps, but then it died and McCreadie rolled by me on a little harder right-rear tire.
"Still, that told us we had pretty good car if we worked on it a little bit and got on the right tire (for the feature)."
Babb struck quick in the 'Conococheague 50,' swerving to the outside of second-starter Covert at the start/finish line as the initial green flag waved and racing three-wide into the first corner with the polesitting Smith and Covert. He pulled ahead off turn two and never relinquished the position thereafter.
"I knew everybody was gonna fight for the bottom," Babb said of his opening-lap strategy. "(Turns) one and two looked really good to me on the high side and in the middle, so when they all headed to the bottom there on the first lap, I went to the top. I saw that near the fence there was a little moisture, and I just got out there, got a good bite and drove by them.
"From there I didn't know if I could hold on, but I knew they were gonna have to fight me for it."
Smith, 42, raced underneath Babb for several circuits early in the fray, coming within inches of taking the lead on lap 11. But he couldn't get his J.P. Drilling/Cliburn Tank Lines GRT ahead of Babb, and not firing as well as Covert on a lap-23 restart ultimately cost him second place.
"I never felt like I could clear (Babb) where I could run out on the straightaway like I needed to," said Smith. "It was one of those racetracks where you needed the whole track to go fast. If I could've got to the lead, then, well."
Smith was anxious afterward to see video of Babb's opening-lap sweep from fourth to first.
"I don't know if he fired early or what happened, but he was beside me when we went into the corner," Smith said of Babb. "I'm not gonna say he jumped the start, though. (Shane) Clanton said he didn't.
"All I know is that was the move of the race. He won it on the first lap, and congratulations to him."
Covert, 36, closed within three car lengths of Babb as the leader worked lapped traffic in the final circuits, but falling short didn't disappoint him. The runner-up finish was his best-ever in WoO LMS competition and also earned him a career-high race payday of $5,500, including the $500 'World of Outlaws Bonus Bucks' cash for being the highest-finishing driver who isn't ranked among the tour's top 12 in points and has never won a series feature.
"It looked like (Babb) was getting tight across the corner, so I started driving it in the corner harder," said Covert, who steered an '02 Rocket owned by Barry Klinedinst. "But we were skating the whole race because I think we went a little hard on tires (he ran American Racers), so it was gonna take a pretty big mistake for me to get him."
Babb, who earned $10,000 for his series-best fourth win of the season, moved up to second in the point standings. He trails Smith by 12 markers after 16 events.
Despite his lofty status in the WoO LMS standings, Babb, who now has five career WoO LMS victories, stopped just short of committing to the remainder of the 2007 tour schedule. He said he'd "love to run the whole thing," but he'll take the next week to decide whether he'll continue on with the Outlaws or go after a third consecutive UMP DIRTcar Racing Summernationals title.
Two caution flags slowed the A-Main - and both were caused by the problems of top contenders. On lap six McCreadie spun between turns one and two while running seventh, and on lap 23 Chris Madden of Gray Court, S.C., stopped in turn two after his engine expired in a cloud of smoke as he ran in ninth place.
Finishing in positions 6-10 was Shane Clanton of Locust Grove, Ga.; Steve Francis of Ashland, Ky.; Gary Stuhler of Greencastle, Pa., who faded from the third starting spot; Bo Feathers of Winchester, Va., who started 19th; and Darrell Lanigan of Union, Ky., who started 18th.
Fifty cars entered the program, which was run before a solid crowd on a hot, sticky night.
Babb's lap of 19.275 seconds was fastest in time trials on the half-mile oval.
Heat winners were McCreadie, Frank, Clint Smith and Stuhler, and the B-Mains were captured by John Blankenship of Williamson, W.Va., and Lanigan.
The WoO LMS is idle until kicking into high gear on June 12 with a six-day, five-race swing through the Upper Midwest and America's Heartland.
The tour is set to visit River Cities Speedway in Grand Forks, N.Dak., on Tues., June 12; Deer Creek Speedway in Spring Valley, Minn., on Thurs., June 14; Knoxville (Iowa) Raceway on Fri., June 15; Lakeside Speedway in Kansas City, Kan., on Sat., June 16; and the Belleville (Kan.) High Banks on Sun., June 17.

Opening-Lap Surge Propels Babb To Fourth World of Outlaws Late Model Series Victory Of '07 Saturday At Hagerstown Speedway
HAGERSTOWN, MD - June 2, 2007 - Shannon Babb has proven to be a quick study on the 2007 World of Outlaws Late Model Series.
With his flag-to-flag victory in Saturday night's 26th annual 'Conococheague 50' at Hagerstown Speedway, the Moweaqua, Ill., star was triumphant in his first career start at a track for the third time on this year's tour.
Babb, 33, didn't exactly expect his latest WoO LMS success, however.
"We didn't have our hopes up real high coming in here," said Babb, who previously won WoO LMS events in his first-ever visits to Virginia Motor Speedway (April 14) and Lernerville Speedway in Sarver, Pa.

"I talked to (three-time WoO LMS champ) Billy (Moyer) and a couple other guys during the week and they said we'd probably be in trouble (finding a comfortable setup), so I knew we had to change a lot of things to make our car suitable for the racetrack.
