Opening Night: 30 Lap SLM Cody Endicott Memorial,LM,SS,Mods, Strictly Stocks-March 19, 2010
“Potomac Northeast Late Model Season Opener to Bo Feathers”
It’s been since 2008 that Winchester Va.’s Bo Feathers collected a late model feature win at Southern Maryland’s Potomac Speedway. That would all change last Friday night.
Feathers, the 2007 Potomac late model track champion, would emerge victorious in the 30-lap “Cody Endicott” memorial becoming the tenth different driver to score a win in the events eleven year history.
Matt Quade and Jamie Lathroum brought the field down to the initial waving of green flag. As the field approached turn one, pre-race favorite Jamie Lathroum’s mount threw a driveshaft ending his night.
Once the race resumed, Roland Mann was the race leader until fifth starting Andy Anderson blew by on lap-four to snare the lead. Anderson appeared to have things going his way until he spun from contention on the fifteenth lap. Feathers, who had reached second by the seventh lap, sat a distant second up to this point , but was now the new leader. Feathers would then control the remaining 15-circuits to score his 20th career Potomac late model feature win.
“ I’m not sure what happened to Andy (Anderson) up there.” Feathers stated. He was running a pretty good line and he would have been awful tough to beat.” Feathers and company worked until late Thursday night preparing his machine for Friday nights action. “Actually we didn’t start on the car until two weeks ago.” Feathers said. “It’s been a really rough winter and we haven’t had much time to work on the car, but I’m glad we got it ready because it’s really nice to win the first race of the season.’
2009 Potomac rookie of the year Dale Hollidge recovered from an early race spin to collect second, Delaware invader Kenny Pettyjohn was third, 13th starting David Williams took fourth and Andy Anderson rebounded for fifth. Heats for the 14 cars on hand went to Matt Quade and Dale Hollidge.
In the 20-lap limited late model event Mechanicsville Md.’s Stevie Long, in a brand new Rocket chassis, would go on to claim the win. Long started on the pole and would eventually lead the entire event despite the repeated challenges of runner-up Derrick Quade. Defending champion Tommy Wagner Jr. was third, Mike Latham collected fourth and Kyle Lear would complete the top-five. Heats went to Latham and Quade
In other action, Defending track champion Kyle Nelson scored the win in the non-stop 16-lap street stock feature, Tony Garber was victorious for the first time in his career in the 15-lap modified feature and Bobby Bowie was the winner of the 20-lap strictly stock feature after apparent winner Justin Gilroy failed a post race inspection.
