three more victories with two at Caraway and one at Hickory Motor Speedway.
His most recent win came during the second of twin 25-lap races on the famed Caraway Speedway in Asheboro, NC where the young driver started sixth in the first feature due to a rule that forces a previous race winner to start no better than sixth. The sixth place start proved to be difficult for the young driver despite picking up a couple positions early, he was caught up in a wreck involving two of the front running trucks causing significant damage to the nose of his truck.
King however persevered through the rest of the short race despite front end damage causing the engine temperatures to rise and making it an ill-handling truck. The team made repairs between the races and had Clint ready to go back to challenging for a win in the second feature. With an inversion for the start of the second race, Clint would start on the outside of the front row, which encouraged the team to get the repairs made and get Clint back out on the track.
The front row start proved to be a great place for Clint to start as Clint jumped out front and led every lap of the 25-lap race despite some strong challenges from veteran driver Gene Kepley, a previous winner at Caraway. Clint kept his truck out front using the outside line to maintain the lead, but King knew this win had to be dedicated to the direction of Crew Chief Ricky Bryant and the hard work of the crew between races.
"My crew deserves all the credit for this win, because if it wasn't for their work in between races there's no way we could have won this race," said Clint following his win. "Everyone of these guys put in 100% effort and they are the reason we won this race."
Clint's fourth win was special, but he's already thinking about his fifth win as the team will return to Caraway Speedway in Asheboro, NC again this coming Saturday night for another night of twin 25-lap races.
"I really like this track and I think we can pick up another win next week . It's going to be tough against this caliber of competition and starting from the sixth position is going to make it even harder." . It makes the fact that we've won two races here already this season something we can really be proud of."
