“Lear First to Repeat at Potomac, Takes Third Straight Burroughs Memorial”
By Doug Watson

Budds Creek, MD- Severna Park Maryland’s Kyle Lear became the first repeat winner of the season as he was victorious in last Friday nights 30-lap Henry Burroughs memorial at the Potomac Speedway. The win for Lear, his 10th career Potomac limited late model feature win, was worth a cool $1000.

Current limited late model point leader Derrick Quade and Mike Latham paced the field to the initial green flag of the event. Quade got the jump at the start as he darted into the race lead. As Quade lead effortlessly, ninth starting Kyle Lear was on the move. Lear entered the top-five by the 10th lap and secured second on the 15th circuit. A caution on lap-18 set the stage as Lear out-dragged Quade into turn one to take the top spot. From that point on, it would be a race for second as Lear would go on to lead the remaining laps to post his third-straight Burroughs memorial win at the controls of his MD1 race cars no.151.

“The track was the best I’ve seen it all year.” Lear stated. “I was able to move around a little bit and find where the car worked the best.” The lap-18 caution put Lear in a position to win the event. “I’m not really sure what happened to Derrick (Quade).” Lear bottom-lined. “I think on the re-start he was trying to block the top and that left the bottom wide open. I said to myself here’s my opportunity, and we were able to pull off the win.” Quade would hang on for second, Stevie Long was third, Paul Cursey took fourth and David Williams rounded out the top-five. Heats for the 15 cars in attendance went to Quade and Mike Latham.

In other action John Latham rolled to his third win of the season, and 25th of his career, in the 15-lap hobby stock main, Larry Fuchs was triumphant in the 15-lap four-cylinder feature, Justin Gilroy collected the win in the 20-lap strictly stock main and Tony Archer annexed to 15-lap U-car feature.
