Shiflett and Burbage Win at East Carolina
Jeff Shiflett scored his second East Carolina win of 2015 while Louis White added to his win total in Friday night’s twin races at East Carolina Motor Speedway.
The race featured thrilling, side-by-side action all night. Shiflett won the first race over White and Rusty Daniels, but the fireworks were in the second race.
Veteran racer Thomas Burbage, who has one win on the season, dominated the race. However, Burbage wrecked in the closing laps of the race, allowing Louis White to get the lead. White went on to win over Wesley Johnson and Shiflett.
Shiflett, who won the track championship in 2014 despite going winless on the season, leads the championship standings by 26 points over Burbage and 40 points over White. Johnson is fourth in points and Shelton McNair, Jr. is fifth in points.
Travis Robertson scored the win in the Street Stock feature, Andy Ipock won the Mini Stock feature, Lynn Waller was victorious in the U-CAR feature Dillon Spain won the Legends feature and Savannah Beasley snapped a bad luck streak to win in the Bandolero race.s
