“Lathroum Extends Potomac Win Streak to Five, With Friday Victory”
“Zimmerman Collects Second in Street Stock Thriller”
By Doug Watson

Budds Creek, MD- Mechanicsville Md.’s Jamie “The Jet” Lathroum scored a convincing win in last Friday nights 25-lap late model feature at the Potomac Speedway. In scoring his 9th career Potomac late model feature win, and overall career 56th at the speedway, Lathroum became the fifth different driver to score a late model win at the track in 2010.

Defending track champion David Williams and Lathroum brought the field down to the initial waving of the green flag. Lathroum blasted out into the race lead as the mob entered turn one. From that point on, it would be a race for second as Lathroum would eventually lead the remaining circuits to post the win. Lathroum’s only serious challenge in the event came from seventh starting Andy Anderson who reached second by the eleventh lap. As Anderson was slowly reeling in leader Lathroum, his mount encountered mechanical issues and he retired from the event on lap-fifteen, ending his chances at a second straight Potomac LM feature win.

At the finish it would be Lathroum taking the win with David Williams in second. Dale Hollidge would place third, Roland Mann was fourth and Matt Quade completed the top-five.

“I have to thank Huey (Wilcoxon) and all the boys on the crew for this win.” Lathroum stated. “We’ve been good down here this season, but we’ve just had trouble finishing.” Lathroum claimed track conditions aided in his winning run. “The track was in great shape tonight.” Said Lathroum. “I could put the car anywhere on the track and it would go, hats off to Pete (Cameron) and Ronnie (Hollidge), they do a great job on this track every week.” Heats for the 13 cars on hand went Roland Mann and Lathroum.

In the 16-lap street stock feature it appeared as Mike Reynolds would score his career first at Potomac feature win. However, Kurt Zimmerman had other ideas. Reynolds started on the pole and led the event for 15 laps until Zimmerman snared the top spot coming off the fourth turn for the checkered flag to collect his second feature win of the season and his career 14th at Potomac. Eric Johnson placed third, Troy Kassiris was fourth and Scottie Nelson rounded out the top-five. Heats went to Reynolds and Ben Bowie.

In other action, former modified track champion Brett Hamilton broke through for his first feature win of the season and his 12th of his career in the 20-lap modified headliner, Defending track champion Josh Dotson scored win number two of 2010 in a wild 15-lap hobby stock feature and Justin Gilroy was victorious in the 40-lap strictly stock championship.
