“Stevie Long Grabs second win in Potomac Regular Season Finale”
“Wagner Repeats as LLM champion”
Budds Creek, MD- Mechanicsville Maryland’s Stevie Long captured his second feature win of the season in last Friday nights 25-lap limited late model headliner at the Potomac Speedway.
Tommy Wagner Jr. and Derrick Quade lead the field to the green flag. Quade would take the top spot and lead the event’s first two circuits until Wagner swept by to snare the race lead on lap-three. Meanwhile, Stevie Long had reached second by lap-seven and would make what would be the winning pass of leader Tommy Wagner Jr. on lap-nine. From that point on it would be a race for second as Long would race unchallenged to score the win.
“At first I figured we had a second or third place car but when we got around Derrick and Tommy going into turn three I wasn’t sure if we had the lead, but we did, and I knew if I could stay smooth we’d be all right.” Long stated. “The car was a little loose but I tried to make it as wide as I could because If anyone was going to pass me they would have to use the top and we were pretty good on the bottom.” Derrick Quade would hang on for second, Tom my Wagner Jr. wrapped up his second consecutive track championship with his third place effort, Kyle Lear recovered from an early race spin to collect fourth and Sommey Lacey rounded out the top-five. The lone heat for the 11-cars on hand went to Mike Latham.
Kurt Zimmerman continued his late season rush as he posted his seventh feature win of the season in the 16-lap street stock main event. Zimmerman took the lead from Kevin Cooke on lap-seven and would drive off uncontested to post the win. Cooke would hand tough for second, Craig Tankersley took third, Kyle Nelson, who scored the 2009 street stock title by seven points over Kurt Zimmerman, rallied back to fourth after an early race tangle sent him to the pits with a flat tire and JR Guy filled the front five. Heats went to Mike Reynolds and Kyle Nelson.
Elsewhere, Bud Pickeral took the win in the 25-lap Dale Moore Sr. memorial hobby stock event after apparent winner Kevin Nelson failed a post race inspection. With his ninth place run, Josh Dotson claimed the 2009 hobby stock track title. Kyle Vantassel won the battle and the war as he came from 21st to score his fourth win of the season and his second championship in a row in the 20-lap strictly stock feature. Buddy Dunagan was victorious for the sixth time this season in the 10-lap hornet main, claiming his second consecutive track title as well.
