“Jayden Hatcher Savors Career First Strictly Stock Triumph”

By Doug Watson

     Budds Creek, MD (4/16/22)- Waynesboro Virginia’s Logan Roberson drove to victory in last Friday nights 30 lap RUSH Dirt Late Model “Battle of the Bay Series” event at Potomac Speedway. The win for Roberson, worth $3000, came in his Gunters Honey-CVR chassis no.17 and would mark the former track champions 19th career Potomac feature win.
    Defending RUSH series Champion Kyle Hardy and Roberson brought the field to the initial green flag of the contest with Hardy bursting into the race lead as the field went hard into turn one. Roberson would trail Hardy for the first four-laps before he snared the race lead on the fifth lap. Even though Roberson would pace the final 25 circuits it was far from an easy victory as Hardy shadowed Roberson the entire way before settling for a strong runner-up effort. 
    “It’s always nice to win here at home.” Roberson stated post race. “Kyle and I we’re racing hard out there and we weren’t going to give each other an inch. We let this one slip away last year and I wasn’t going to let it happen again.” Roberson was quick to acknowledge those who aided his winning drive. “My mom and dad and all of our sponsors support us 100% and a big thanks to CVR chassis, we had a great race car tonight.”
Brady Wonderling rode home third, former series champion Brady Wonderling took fourth with 25th starting Trevor Collins completing the top five. Taking heat race victories over the 42 car field were, Michael Duritsky, Kyle Hardy, Logan Roberson, Cody Dawson, Brady Wonderling and Jeremy Wonderling with Garrett Paugh, Matt Latta and Ben Scott claiming B-main wins.
    Jayden Hatcher joined his father PJ and brother Justin as a Potomac feature winner with his first career win in the 15-lap Strictly Stock main. Not to be outdone, Jayden’s father PJ collected his second 15-lap Street stock win of the season with Hobby Stock rookie Justin Hatcher came all the way from his 18th starting spot to claim a runner-up finish in just his third start behind three time class winner Mason Hanson. “Watching these boys race is just as much fun for me then driving.” PJ stated. “They’ve come a long way in a short time and we sure are proud of them.” Justin Bottorf would take the lead early and run off to his first win of the season in the 15 lap roadster contest.
