Boney collects first USMTS win at Junction Motor Speedway

McCOOL JUNCTION, Neb. -- Dustin Boney raced to his career-first USMTS victory
Friday night as the USMTS National Tour nvaded the Junction Motor Speedway for the opening night of the 8th
Annual Nebraska Spring Thaw.

The 29-year-old from Platte City, Mo., grabbed the top spot from polesitter
Colt Mather at the drop of the green flag and proceeded to lead all 30 laps of
the WIX Filters “A” Main.

A multi-car crash with 11 laps remaining bunched the field, with nine-time
USMTS National Champion Kelly Shryock holding down the runner-up spot ahead of
Mather.

Shryock gave chase and closed in on the leader in the late stages of the race
but Boney was able to hang on for the $2,000 top prize.

Kyle Berck finished fourth behind Shryock and Mather while Tommy Myer took
fifth. Jon Tesch, Jason Krohn, Zack VanderBeek, Chase Junghans and Jason Grimes
rounded out the top ten.

Gustin was running third in heat race when he blew a motor, and broken rocker arms on spare car.

Round 2 of the 8th Annual Nebraska Spring Thaw continues Saturday night at
the Junction Motor Speedway with the feature winner shooting for $3,000
first-place money.

The first heat race takes the green flag at 7 p.m. with NASCAR Late Models,
NASCAR B-Modifieds and NASCAR Stock Cars.
