“Hollidge Explodes in Firecracker 30 for First-Ever Potomac Late Model win”
“Defending Champion Tommy Wagner Jr. Becomes Eighth Limited Late Model Winner”
Budds Creek, MD- Mechanicsville Md.’s Dale Hollidge, the 2008 Hagerstown speedway pure stock champion, scored big last Friday night at the Potomac speedway as he captured his first-career late model feature win at the southern Maryland oval.
Kyle Hardy and Matt Quade, both winners at the track this season, brought the field down to the initial green flag of the event. Quade darted into the race lead with Hardy in tow. Third starting Jamie Lathroum then slid into second on the second lap and began to apply pressure to Quade. Meanwhile, fifth starting Dale Hollidge reached third by the sixth lap and then disposed of Lathroum to take second by lap-seven. Hollidge would then hound Quade for the next twelve circuits before he would make what would be the winning pass on lap-nineteen. Despite the repeated challenges by eventual runner-up Jamie Lathroum, Hollidge would lead the remaining laps to post the win in his MasterSbilt no.0.
“I never thought we’d get one down here.” Hollidge stated. “I have to thank my mom and dad and all my sponsors for getting me here tonight.” As the race wound down, Hollidge knew Jamie Lathroum was in second. “Yeah I knew Jamie was back there.” Hollidge said. “He’s really good down here but I knew if I stayed on the bottom He’d have a hard time passing up on the top and our car was really good on the bottom tonight.” Matt Quade held on for third, 10th starting Daryl Hills was fourth and current LM point leader David Williams rebounded from an early race spin to complete the top-five. The heat race went to Jamie Lathroum.
Defending track champion Tommy Wagner Jr. became the 8th different winner in nine events run for the limited late models this season. Wagner drew the pole for the feature and made the most of his good fortune as he would lead every lap of the non-stop event. “I cant thank my car owners Scott and Patty Thompson enough.” Wagner quipped. “They put their heart and soul into this car and I was glad to finally be able to get a win for them.” Sixth starting Kyle Lear came on late to collect second, Paul Cursey was third, current point leader Derrick Quade was fourth and PJ Hatcher rounded out the top-five. Heats went to Cursey and Quade.
In other action, Troy Kassiris scored his second win of the season in a thrilling last turn, last lap pass of Kyle Nelson in the 16-lap street stock feature and Larry Fuchs copped his fourth feature win of the season in the 20-lap strictly stock main.
