“Kyle Lear Scores Potomac First, Extends Win Streak to Seven”
“Kassiris Collects First Street Stock Main”
By Doug Watson
Budds Creek, MD- Severna Park Md.’s Kyle Lear was triumphant in last Friday nights, 30-lap, Potomac/Winchester challenge event for the limited late models at the Potomac speedway. In scoring his first feature win of the season, and 9th career at the speedway, the defending Hagerstown speedway late model sportsman track champion became the seventh different winner in the class in the seven races run this season.

Stevie Long and Ed Pope, both winners at the track this season, brought the field down to the initial green flag. Long got the jump at the start as he blasted into the race lead. As long lead effortlessly, 13th starting Kyle Lear was on the move. Lear entered the top-five by the 10th lap and then reached second by lap-twenty, setting his sights on leader Stevie Long. A lap-23 caution set the stage as Lear drove to the top of the speedway on the ensuing restart to take the race lead. Lear would then go on to lead the reaming circuits to post the $1000 win.

‘It sure does feel good to finally get a win down here.’ Lear stated. “We’ve really been struggling this year, but Moe (DeFino) and all the guy’s never gave up and that’s why we’re here tonight.” The lap-23 caution gave Lear the needed opportunity for the win. “I knew we were good on restarts.” Lear bottom-lined. “My car wasn’t really that good on the top but that’s where it was working the best, and it all worked out for us.” Long hung on for second, defending class champion Tommy Wagner Jr. was third, Sommey Lacey collected fourth and Ed Pope completed the top-five. Heats for the 23 cars on hand went to Pope, Long and Lacey.

In the sixteen lap street stock feature, Troy Kassiris captured his first feature win of the season. Kassiris took the lead on lap-four of the event after two-time winner Kurt Zimmerman, and then race leader, pulled up lame with engine problems. Kassiris would then lead the remaining laps to post the win over Jason Murphy, with Scott Wilson taking third, Teddy Dickson fourth and Tony Archer completing the top-five. The lone heat went to Kassiris.

In other action, Russell Erwin drove to his second feature win of the season in the 20-lap modified headliner, John Latham rolled to win number two of the season and career 24th in the 15-lap hobby stock main and veteran Larry Fuchs annexed his third feature win of the season in the 20-lap strictly stock feature.
