‘ChubZilla’ Chub Frank Tames High Banks

of Lawrenceburg Speedway Lawrenceburg,

IN – (July 18, 2009) – Jason Shank –

O’Reilly All Star Late Model Series

Director 

“I’ll tell you what, we really needed this one,”

Bear Lake, PA’s Chub Frank said in victory lane

after holding off numerous challenges from Union,

 KY’s Darrell Lanigan to claim the

‘Lawrenceburg All Star 30’ and his first career

O’Reilly All Star Late Model Series win.   

ASLMS regular Coleby Frye and Frank led the

field to the green flag with Chub using the high

 banks of the immaculate Dave Rudisell promoted

 Lawrenceburg Speedway to take the early lead

after Frye, Frank, Lanigan and local star Jason

Jamison were vitually four-wide for the lead as

they barreled down the back stretch.  Lanigan

followed Chub into second as Frye fell into the

third spot as ‘The Sniper’ Wayne Chinn came to

a halt to bring out the events first caution.

When racing resumed ‘ChubZilla’ continued to

lead as ASLMS regular Jared Hawkins and Tim

Dohm in the Tracy Seymour owned #17T made

contact in turns one and two costing both drivers

a few spots dropping them from their fifth and

sixth positions to the ninth and tenth spots

respectively.  The racing was intense on the

blazing fast Lawrenceburg Speedway but was

slowed on lap 13 for debris as Chub still led.

That caution was followed by another quick

caution as Scott James and Jason Jamison got

together in turn two bringing James to a stop.

When the green flag flew again Chub still held the

lead with Lanigan, Jamison, and Frye in tow. 

Jared Hawkins had clawed his way back up into

the top five behind Frye and made his move on

Coleby to move into fourth just before another

caution flag flew for the spun car of Eric Wells on

the front straightaway.

When the racing continued, the battle for the lead

picked up as Lanigan would look under Chub on

every lap in turns three and four on the bottom

side of the speedway.  While the battle up from

became more exciting, ‘Insane’ Duane

Chamberlain was making his way through the field

 from his 22^nd starting position into the sixth spot.

  Chamberlain grabbed the fifth spot from Jason

Jamison on lap 24 when Jamison slid high in turn

four falling from his third position back to sixth

also moving Hawkins into third and Frye to

fourth.  The top two of Frank and Lanigan had

somewhat checked out on the field and were

heading to a duel to the checkers before Rod

Conley came up lame on the backstretch to bring

 out the final caution after losing a driveshaft on

lap 27.

Lanigan made one last ditch effort to get by

‘ChubZilla’ for the win but Chub put his rirght

rear tire on the cushion and drove to the win

followed by Lanigan, Hawkins in third,

Chamberlain from 22^nd in fourth, and Coleby

Frye fifth.  Jason Jamison was sixth, Robbie Blair

seventh, Matt Lux eighth, John Gill ninth, and

Shawn Negangard in tenth.
