Budds Creek , MD- Pasadena Md.’s Kurt Zimmerman was victorious in last Sunday nights 25-lap Potomac/Winchester street stock challenge event . The win, for Zimmerman, was his third feature triumph of the season and his career 19th at Potomac.

Stephen Quade and Zimmerman brought the field to the initial green flag of the event. Quade got a good jump at the start as he darted into the race lead. Already a two-time Potomac street stock winner this season, Quade appeared as though he would score number three this night as he lead the first 20 -laps of the event. Meanwhile, Zimmerman was hanging tough in second but could not get close enough to make the pass. Quade’s undoing came when he came down to complete lap-20 as he bobbled in turn two-allowing Zimmerman to make what would eventually be the winning pass. Zimmerman would then go on to lead the final four-laps to post the win. As Zimmerman took the checkered flag, heavy rain hit the speedway washing out the late model, limited late model and hobby stock features.

Eric Johnson would come from 9th to finish second, Eighteenth-starting Donnie Smith came home third, Winchester regular Mike Rose collected fourth and Quade would rebound from the lap-20 mishap to complete the top-five. Heats for the 27 cars on hand went Scottie Nelson, Mike Bennett and Stephen Quade with Billy Farmer claiming the consolation.

Heats for the 16 late models went to Jamie Lathroum and David Williams, with Ben Bowie and Glenn Elliott claiming limited late model qualifiers and hobby stock heats went to Jimmy Randall and Brian Adkins. Those three events will be made up at a later date.
