Show-Me Showdown ends as career best payday for Crigler

WEST PLAINS, Mo. (May 1) – The longest race of Sawyer Crigler’s IMCA Modified career ended as his career-best payday.  Crigler topped Saturday’s 40-lap Show-Me Showdown at Legit Speedway Park, earning $2,000 along with a spot on the Fast Shafts All-Star Invitational ballot. “There’s a lot of history at this place,” said Crigler, owner of a paving business and already a two-time winner this season on the dirt at West Plains. “I know there were a lot of good cars here and it feels good to have been able to win this race.” Crigler had started fourth and passed Matt Barry for the lead on the seventh circuit. A handful of cautions kept lapped traffic to a minimum before the last 10 laps ran green. The Alton driver built up a straightaway advantage over second running Powers on his way to taking the checkers.  “The track was slick and smooth,” he said. “I like to drive the car straight and that’s the way you’ve got to do it there.”  Tony Anglin, Drake Findley and Roger [Read More]
