“Potomac/Winchester LLM Challenge Round Two, To David Williams”
“Kyle Nelson First to Repeat in Street Stocks”

Budds Creek, MD- Domination. That’s the best way to put it, as Charlotte Hall Md.’s David Williams scored a convincing win in last Friday night’s 30-lap Potomac/Winchester Challenge limited late model event at the Potomac speedway.

Williams, the defending Potomac late model champion, and Ed Pope brought the field down to the waving of the green flag. Williams darted into the race lead, and from that point on, it would be a race for second as Williams would go on to lead every lap of the event wheeling his Sommey Lacey owned Rocket no.45 to post his 29th career limited late model feature win at Potomac. However, as Williams lead the battle for second was quite intense. Ed Pope held the runner-up spot through lap-12 until 13th starting and defending LLM track champion Tommy Wagner Jr. took over. Current point leader Derrick Quade then made it a two car battle for second as he and Wagner raced closely for several laps until Quade spun from contention on lap-23. At the finish it was Williams taking the win, Tommy Wagner Jr. took second, 11th starting Sommey Lacey posted third, 16th starting Trever Feathers collected fourth and Stevie Long, who rebounded from an early race flat tire, completed the top-five.

“I have to thank Sommey and Ruth Ann Lacey for giving me the opportunity to drive their car tonight.” Williams stated. “The track got a little slick tonight but the crew had this thing perfect and I think anyone could have driven it tonight.” Late race lapped traffic was the only challenge Williams faced all night. “Yeah, it got a little tricky out there.” Said Williams. “But everyone gave each other enough room and it was a lot of fun out there tonight.” Heats for the 28 cars on hand went to Williams, Stevie Long and Matt Morgan with Bubby Tharpe claiming the consolation.

In the sixteen lap street stock feature it was defending track champion Kyle Nelson posting his second feature win of the season. Nelson took the lead from Ricky Edmonds on the fourth lap and would then have to repel a last-lap challenge by runner-up Eric Johnson to score his 12th career Potomac street stock feature win. Mike Reynolds placed third, 12th starting Kurt Zimmerman was fourth and Scott Wilson completed the top-five. Heats went to Mike Reynolds and Troy Kassiris.

In other action, Tony Garber continued his hot-streak as he won his fourth modified main of the season, Bud Pickeral was triumphant for the second consecutive event as he collected the win in the 15-lap hobby stock feature and Larry Fuchs also notched his second win in a row in the 20-lap strictly stock contest.
