LEBANON, Ore. (May 26) — Russ Sell of Brownsville, Ore., led every lap Sunday at the renovated Willamette Speedway for a $2,000 victory in the Memorial Day weekend Clair Cup, a race dedicated to the late long-time track owner and promoter Clair Arnold.

Sell had a few tense moments in lapped traffic at the halfway point, but held on for the $2,000 victory for DIRTcar-sanctioned Late Models. DAA Crate Late Models also ran the weekend action, which drew more than 50 competitors.

Jeremy Shank of Salem, Ore., was the runner-up with 15th-starting Greg Walters of Banks, Ore., in third. Fast qualifier Trevor Glaser of Tangent, Ore., and John Duty of Happy Valley, Ore., rounded out the top five.

In Saturday’s semifeature, Rob Mayea overtook Greg Walters in the early laps and raced to a victory. Walters was seocnd followed by Brady Sell, Russ Sell and Tim Goodwin. ...
