"Kids Ride In Race Cars" 30 Lap LM Henry Burroughs,SS,HS,Mods,4Cyl,Crates(MARF Night) - August 14, 2009

“Lear Dominates Burroughs Memorial, Long Scores First of the Season at Potomac”
By Doug Watson

Budds Creek, MD- Severn Maryland’s Kyle Lear and Mechanicsville’s Stevie Long were each victorious as the limited late models spun-off two events last Friday night at the Potomac speedway.

Lear’s fifth feature win of the season came in the 30-lap, $1000-to-win, Henry Burroughs while Longs victory was in the make-up 25-lap contest from July 25.

Derrick Quade and Mike Latham brought the field down to the waving of the green flag. Quade got the jump at the start and would lead until lap-six. As Quade lead, Lear had reached second by the second circuit and made the winning pass on lap-seven. From that point on it would be a race for second as Lear easily outdistanced the field over the remaining 23-laps to post his 8th career Potomac LLM feature win and his second consecutive win in the Burroughs memorial.

“The track was as good as it’s been all season long.” Lear stated. “The car was working really good on the bottom, but I knew Stevie (Long) was back there.” Lear has one goal in mind whenever he rolls through the gates at any racetrack. “We’re here to win.” Lear bottom-lined. “We’re not in the points down here anymore so w e’ll try to win as many as we can.” Stevie Long would come home second, Sommey Lacey was third, Mike Latham collected fourth and Paul Cursey completed the top-five. Heats for the 25-cars on hand went to Lear, Mike Latham and PJ Hatcher.

In the make-up event Ed Pope blasted out into the race lead at the drop of the green flag. Pope appeared to have the car to beat until Stevie Long made his presence known on lap-nine. Long wrestled the lead from Pope on lap-ten and would drive off to a very convincing win, the second of his Potomac career. “Its been a long season.” Long said. “We’ve been good all season but have had a lot of bad luck, and it sure does feel good to finally win one.” Pope would hang on for second, Bruce Kane was third, Derrick Quade took fourth and Mike Latham filled the front five.

In other action, Kurt Zimmerman scored his second win in a row and fifth of the season in the 16-lap street stock feature, while John Latham tallied win number four in the 15-lap hobby stock event, also Rich Marks collected win number two in the 15-lap modified event and Greg Gunter and Larry Fuchs split twin 15-lap four-cylinder mains.
