“Pilkerton Snares Dominating Win in RUSH Crates”

By Doug Watson

      Budds Creek, MD.  Defending Limited Late Model track champion Derick Quade took his first win of the season in last Saturday nights 25-lap divisional main at Potomac Speedway. The win for Quade, worth $1500, came in his brand new Longhorn no.74 and would be his 25th career Limited feature win.
      Quade would wrestle the lead from Walker Arthur on the 9th circuit and then romp to a relatively easy win. “We knew at the last practice session we had a good car so we didn’t have to change anything when we got here tonight.” Quade stated in victory lane. “The track was the best I’ve seen it in a while and a big thanks to all the sponsors and crew for their support.” Arthur hung on for second with, Sam Archer, Billy Tucker and Chuck Bowie.
      In the companion 20-lap RUSH Crate Late Model feature, defending track champion Jeremy Pilkerton collected his first win of the season. Pilkerton snared the lead from Austin Bussler on the 10th lap and would run off uncontested in scoring his 4th career class win aboard his Rocket no.8. “With the way the track was tonight I knew we’d have our hands full, but we had a great car and this is an awesome win for us.” Bussler, Megan Mann, Amanda Robinson and Mike Raleigh trailed at the finish.
      In support class action, PJ Hatcher kept his win streak in tact with his 8th consecutive 16-lap Street Stock score, Austin Lathroum broke through for his first career Potomac feature win in the 15-lap Hobby Stock main, Dominic King grabbed the 15-lap U-Car triumph with Greg Mattingly taking a flag to flag win in the 15-lap Strictly Stock contest.
