Devin Moran Masters Muskingum
County for $10,000 Win!
(October
8, 2022) Devin Moran, of nearby Dresden, Ohio, racked up
his third career 'Jim Dunn Memorial' title on Saturday night, October
8 at Muskingum County Speedway! Devin qualified well in the season
finale at the Zanesville, Ohio oval and later secured a heat race
victory. After starting the 40-lap headliner from the outside of
the front row, Devin made an outside move on lap four to grab the
point in the unsanctioned contest. The popular young driver known
as the "Mailman" then paced the remaining circuits to
pocket the $10,000 first place prize money ahead of a top five that
included runner-up Tyler Carpenter, Doug Drown, Matt Cosner, and
Jacob Hawkins! (Tyler Carr Racing Photos)
Wooster, Ohio ace Doug Drown earned Fast Time honors
of the 41 Super Late Model entrants during qualifying. Drown, Moran,
Shane McLoughlin, and Corey Conley won the four heat races. Caiden
Black and Andy Bond were victorious in the pair of consolation events.
It was a very successful 40th annual 'Jim Dunn Memorial.'
