"Lathroum Breaks Through for Potomac Late Model Win"

"Bowie and Arnold Take Crate/E-Mod Victories"

By Doug Watson

               Budds Creek, MD-  Jamie Lathroum drove to his first win of the season in last Sunday nights 35-lap Late Model feature at Potomac Speedway. The win for Lathroum, worth $2500, came aboard his Sommey and Ruth Ann Lacey owned Rocket no.45 and would mark his first track win since the 2017 season.
               Lathroum clearly had the car to beat as he shot from the pole to lead all 35-circuits to score his 15th career win with the Late Models and overall 63rd career feature win at Potomac. "I almost forgot how to get here it's seems so long since we last won here." Lathroum stated post race. "The track rubbered up and I knew if I held my line we'd be ok, and I'm happy to get everybody on this team a win." Dale Hollidge, Daryl Hills, Andy Anderson and Steven Axtell Jr. would round out the top-five. 
               Ben Bowie, like Lathroum in the Late Models, shot from the pole to lead wire to wire of the companion 20-lap RUSH Crate Late Model main. "I knew I had to get to the front first if we had a chance to win." Said Bowie after his 8th career division feature win. "I'm glad the race ended when it did, because the brake pedal went to the floor driving to victory lane." Current point leader Darren Alvey was second with Logan Roberson, Dale Hollidge and Levi Crowl completing the top-five. 
               After scoring a win at Virginia Motor Speedway the night prior, Chris Arnold took top honors in the 20-lap Mid-Atlantic Modified headliner. Arnold took the lead from Cody Oliver on the 11th lap and went on to score his 4th career Potomac feature win. "I started my racing career here at Potomac and it's great to be back in victory lane."  Arnold said in his post race interview. "I just want to thank all the fans that came out tonight, I hope we put on a good show." Cody Oliver, Josh Hughes, Brad Kling and Joey Polevoy would trail at the finish. 
              In support class action Mike Grady Jr. made his first start of the season a good one as he would score his first career Potomac win in the 16-lap Street Stock feature and 15 year old rookie Justin Knight drove to his 2nd win of the season in the 15-lap U-Car event.
