For the Connor Bobik Memorial on Friday at Marion Center Raceway (Marion Center, Pa.), Shane stopped the clock second-fastest in his group before picking up a heat race win. Inching forward one spot in the 40-lap feature, Clanton notched a runner-up finish, which came behind Dennis Erb Jr. Josh Richards, Gordy Gundaker, and Jonathan Lee completed the Top-5 finishers.
On Saturday evening at Port Royal Speedway (Port Royal, Pa.), Clanton secured his spot into the $10,000-to-win finale with a heat race victory. After tagging the turn-two wall while running in second early in the race, Shane slipped back to a seventh-place finish when the checkered flag flew.
