Inside Line Promotions – SEDALIA, Mo. (April 18, 2017) – Josh Baughman’s night ended early last Saturday at Missouri State Fair Speedway, where he ran into bad luck during the Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour event.

Baughman began the event by drawing a high pill, which lined him up near the rear of his heat race on the half-mile oval.

“We started at the back of the heat and only passed one car,” he said. “That put us toward the back of the A Main.”

Baughman advanced from seventh to sixth place in the heat race. That lined him up on the inside of the eighth row for the main event.

“We were up to ninth or 10th about 10 laps into the feature when a rock hit the quick connect on the brakes and broke it so I had to pull in,” he said. “It pushed all the fluid out and I didn’t have any brakes. I pushed the brakes and the pedal went to the floor so I pulled in. We’re going too fast to be racing without brakes.”

Baughman was credited with a 21st-place result.

He is slated to compete this Friday and Saturday at 81 Speedway in Park City, Kan., for the Park City Cup/Air Capital Shootout with the NCRA and ASCS Red River Region.

“We need to put ourselves in position and have some luck,” he said. “We’ve struggled on the luck side this year. The team has worked hard and prepared well, but we haven’t caught the breaks. With a little luck we should have a great finish.”

Baughman finished fifth at the track during his debut in 2014.
