MidWest Extreme Dirt Track - Round 5 - Versailles,
MO
Versailles, MO - The Lucas Oil Midwest
Extreme Dirt Track Series was back in action this
weekend for round five at the Tooth and Nail Raceway
in Versailles MO. Just as all of the EDT Nationals
and most of the Midwest races this spring and summer
there was a threat of rain throughout the afternoon
and evening. Mother Nature was kind to the racers,
some of whom had traveled several hours, and kept
the rain away from the racetrack. The ATVA sanctioned
series draws riders from Missouri, Arkansas, Iowa,
Illinois, Kentucky, and Oklahoma.
Josh Hibdon of Oak Grove MO picked up his first
win of the season in the Pro Lites class with
an impressive run in front of Danny Mcgraw and
Kendall Webb who finished 2nd and 3rd. Hibdon
and Mcgraw battled for the lead early while Webb
was coming from the sixth spot off the line. Mcgraw
stayed close for the entire race but was unable
to take the lead away from Hibdon. Cory Wilson
finished in the fourth spot and Wyatt Gann rounded
out the top five.

In the Pro-Am class Hibdon grabbed the early
lead in front of Mcgraw and Wilson. Webb was again
slow off the line but made a big push to run down
the leaders. Using the split lanes Webb was able
to gain on the leader before finally taking over
the top spot in the 12th lap of the 15 lap main
event. Hibdon finished in 2nd followed by Mcgraw,
Cory Wilson and Luke Kates.
With two rounds remaining in the series Webb
leads both the Pro Lites and Pro Am Unlimited
classes while Hibdon, Mitch Reynolds, Danny Mcgraw,
and Eli Bieschke are all in the top five in the
Pro Lites class. In the Pro Am Webb is followed
again by Hibdon, Colter Loshbaugh, Mcgraw, and
Mitch Reynolds.
