44 Lap SLM Ronnie McBee, SS,HS, Hornets (Final Points for SLM)-September 6, 2009
“Lathroum Sweeps Potomac Weekend, Scores McBee Memorial Win on Sunday”
“Williams Collects Second Consecutive LM Title”
Budds Creek, MD- Mechanicsville Maryland’s Jamie ‘The Jet” Lathroum continued his late season win tear as he was victorious for the fourth time this season, and second of the weekend, in Last Sunday night’s 20th annual 44-lap Ronnie McBee memorial at the Potomac speedway.
Lathroum and Jeff Pilkerton brought the field to the initial waving of the green flag. Pilkerton shocked the Potomac crowd as he blasted into the early race lead with Lathroum in tow. However, Lathroum was on a mission as he would wrestle the top spot from Pilkerton on lap-10. From that point on, Lathroum was on cruise control as he would eventually lead the remaining 34-laps to post the win. Lathroums only serious challenge during the event came from 10th starting Bo Feathers who made a late race charge, but he would have to settle for runner-up honors.
“This car has been so good.” Lathroum explained in victory lane “Its so easy to drive it’s like driving down the highway, I think it has a mind of it’s own.” With his win, Lathroum became the 17th different driver to win the McBee memorial at Potomac. “It’s a20big honor to win this race.” Lathroum replied. “I never got to race with him but I guess he was really good because you still hear his name an awful lot.”
Rookie Dale Hollidge would take third, Jeff Pilkerton would hang on for fourth and Rick Hulson completed the top-five. With his seventh place finish David Williams was crowned late model track champion for the second year in a row by 28 points over Daryl Hills. “I cant thank George and Tina Moreland enough.” Williams stated. “They gave me the opportunity to drive their car this season and I’m glad we could pull off the championship for them.” Heats for the 21 cars on hand went to Roland Mann, Rick Hulson and Daryl Hills.
Kurt Zimmerman was triumphant for the sixth time this season in the 16-lap street stock feature. Zimmerman started on the pole and would eventually lead every lap of the non-stop event. Ben Bowie was second, Ben Oliver took third, point leader Kyle Nelson collected fourth and Kevin Cooke completed the top-five. Heats for the 18 car field went to Oliver and Bowie.
Elsewhere, The hobby stocks had two 15-lap events on the program and wins went to Rusty Alton for the 5th time this season and Ronald Meador who snared his first-ever win in the division, while Buddy Dunagan scored win number five in the 15-lap hornet main.
