Pierce Locks Down $23,023 Fairbury Speedway Win

FAIRBURY, Ill. — The Castrol FloRacing Night in America’s fourth annual One for The Road presented by I-Beam Sliding Doors at Fairbury Speedway took center stage on Tuesday night, where Bobby Pierce claimed the victory for the second-straight year. When action heated up after a lap-17 restart, Pierce knew it was time to pounce while he held the third spot behind Hudson O’Neal and Garrett Smith in the 50-lap event. Pierce and O’Neal, fresh off his World 100 victory at Ohio’s Eldora Speedway, appeared to drop Smith to third on the 16th lap, but Garrett Alberson’s slowing car drew a yellow and erased their moves, putting Smith back out front for a restart. While Pierce stayed in control the rest of the way, Smith likewise began fading and retired on lap 32 while O’Neal ended up 11th in the final rundown. Pierce noted the race might’ve been “pretty crazy” if Smith and O’Neal stayed in contention, but called it “just an awesome race. I’m glad that we got this thing dialed in so we’ve got two good race cars.”.
