Maupin takes 2 wins in 1 night

Jeff Maupin returned to form Saturday night at Volunteer Speedway by winning not one, but two feature events. Jeff claimed victories in both the super late model and crate late model classes at Volunteer.

Maupin took the lead from pole sitter Vic Hill as the pair raced off turn 2 on the opening lap. From there, Maupin led all 35 laps to take the win.

"Man, with the tough fields of cars here at ‘The Gap’ in both the Super Late Models and Crate Late Models, to be able to win both features on the same night and lead flag-to-flag in doing so, this is something I’ll never forget,” said the smiling Maupin in the outside pits following the night of racing. “To be able to beat Vic (Hill) in the Supers and (Shanon) Buckingham in the Crates, that’s two tough competitors you’ve outrun. Both cars ran really well tonight, but I’m just happy to finally get a fuel pick-up problem we’ve struggled with over the past couple of races straightened out in the Super. The car was just bad-fast tonight, it was something else to drive.”

"We were on American Racers (tires) tonight for the first time, and from start to finish I don’t believe I’ve ever been on such good rubber. The tires were really just as good at the end of the race as what they were at the beginning, not really any drop-off. I want to thank my racing mentor and good friend Vic Hill for the strong motor he built that’s under the hood of my car. I also need to thank all the guys who help work on the car during the week and on race-night at the track – Rodney Justice, Josh Bible, Tony Price and Casey Greenlee. We’ll all work hard back at the shop this coming week and maybe we can come back next Saturday and get us another win.”

Maupin followed that up with a win in the 25-lap crate late model feature. Again, Maupin led all the way for the win.

Jeff and team will be back at Volunteer Speedway this weekend.
