“It’s all Jamie Lathroum in Potomac’s Vern Harris Memorial”
“Scottie Nelson Scores Career First Street Stock Win”

Budds Creek, MD-
Mechanicsville Md.’s Jamie “The Jet” Lathroum scored a convincing win in last Sunday night’s 35-lap Vern Harris Memorial at the Potomac speedway. With his win, Lathroum is the first repeat late model winner at Potomac in 2010.

Lathroum and Deane Guy brought the field down to the initial green flag. Guy got the jump at the start, as he would lead the event’s first circuit. Coming down to complete lap number two, Lathroum found the high side of the track to his liking as he swept by Guy to assume the race lead. Daryl Hills entered second by the fourth lap and applied heavy pressure to Lathroum through the mid-way point of the race. However, Lathroum was up to the challenge as he would repel Hills advances to collect his second feature win in a row and his 10th career Potomac late model feature win.

“I have to once again thank Huey (Wilcoxon) and all the boys on the crew, the car was just about perfect tonight.” Brother-in-law Daryl Hills gave Lathroum a run for his money mid-way through the event. “ Yeah, I saw his nose a couple of times.” Lathroum replied. “I knew the top was better tonight and if he was going to get by us he’d have to go low and the bottom wasn’t that good tonight.” Veteran Deane Guy took a solid third at the finish with Dale Hollidge taking fourth and current point leader David Williams completed the top-five. Heats for the 16 cars on hand went to Hollidge and Lathroum.

In the 16-lap street stock feature Scottie Nelson scored his first-career win in the division. Nelson darted into the race lead from his pole starting spot. He would then have to hold off a hard charging, and two-time 2010 feature winner, Kurt Zimmerman to preserve the win. Mike Reynolds was third Troy Kassiris took fourth and 12th starting Kyle Nelson rounded out the top-five. Heats went to Kassiris and Nelson.

In other action Eric Erwin took his first win of the season in the 20-lap modified headliner, Bud Pickeral collected win number three in the 15-lap hobby stock main and defending Winchester speedway track champion Josh Wilkins annexed the 20-lap u-car feature.
