JACKSONVILLE, Ill. — Jake Neuman couldn’t have asked for a better night on Friday at Jacksonville Speedway.
The 2021 Morrow Brothers Ford MOWA Sprint Car Series runner-up found his way back to victory lane one week after scoring a MOWA win at Tri-City Speedway.
Neuman jumped to the early race lead ahead of fellow front row starter Colton Fisher, who fought back challenges from Terry Babb and Shelby Bosie.
Neuman extended his lead over the field and quickly reached lapped traffic on the quarter-mile oval in a race that went flag-to-flag, completing in just five minutes. Navigating through lapped traffic with a comfortable pace over the field, Neuman had his eyes set on the prize while behind him, drivers were battling back and forth for key positions.
In the late stages of the race, seventh-starting Ryan Timms and eighth-starting Joe B. Miller went into assault mode, overtaking Paul Nienhiser to fill the top three positions.
Miller was able to work past Timms to secure a second-place finish while Timms crossed the line in third, behind winner Jake Neuman.
The victory for Neuman was his fourth career win with the Morrow Brothers Ford MOWA Sprint Car Series.
