Donahue is 8th winner in Pro Lates

"Lebanon I-44 Speedway has a history of producing great racecar drivers, and some of the biggest stars in American motorsports honed their skills on our tracks high banked 3/8-mile asphalt oval. Legends such as the great Larry Phillips, the only 5-time national champion in NASCAR's weekly racing series, along with NASCAR stars like Mike Wallace, Jamie McMurray, Carl Edwards, Chase Elliott, Tony Stewart and the late Tony Roper have either won races, track championships, regional championships or even national championships over the years."

"For O'Reilly Auto Parts Pro Late Model driver Kevin Donahue, lady luck finally shinned on him despite having 2 tires go down on the hauler coming to the track. Donahue jumped from his front row outside starting spot and withstood a late race surge from current point leader JC Newell in capturing his 1st win of the season and became the 8th different winner in 10 features this season. Donahue powered ahead with Jimmy Vanzandt, Brennon Willard, and Steve Holt in tow while Kenny Wallace was starting from the 13th spot. A lap 2 caution slowed the pace as defending track champion Kaleb Allison got tangled along with Josh Woody and Cole Rouse and restarted at the rear. Donahue wasted no time on the restart in opening the lead..."

" In the closing 10 laps, Newell closed the gap each lap but came up short with Donahue grabbing the victory."
