“Wagner Scores Convincing Win Friday at Potomac”
“Mike Corbin Victorious in Potomac /Winchester Challenge”
By Doug Watson
Budds Creek, MD- Mechanicsville Md.’s Tommy Wagner Jr. scored his second feature win of the season in last Friday night’s 20-lap limited late model feature at the Potomac speedway. The win for Wagner, the defending and two-time limited late model track champion, was his 8th career win at the speedway.
Wagner drew the pole for the feature and would lead the field down to the green flag. Wagner would then dart into the race lead and eventually lead all 20-laps of the event to post the win. As Wagner lead, the race for second was quite intense. Current point leader Derrick Quade first took up the chase as he hounded Wagner for the first eleven-laps before fifth-starting Paul Cursey took over the runner-up slot on lap-twelve. Cursey would get close to Wagner on several occasions, but he would have to settle for second-place money.
“We’ve really been struggling the past few weeks.” Wagner stated. “We went back to the basics with the car and tonight it was as good as it’s been all season.” Paul Cursey’s late race rush was Wagner’s only worry during the event. “I knew Paul was back there.” Wagner said. “There’s a lot of good cars in this class and we really had to be on our toes to beat those guy’s tonight.” Quade settled for third, PJ Hatcher was fourth and JT McGlanigan completed the top-five. Heats went to Cursey and Kyle Lear.
Winchester Va.’s Mike Corbin, the defending Winchester Speedway pure stock track champion, made his first Potomac speedway start a good one as he scored the win in the 25-lap Potomac/Winchester challenge event for the street stocks. Eric Johnson lead the first two-laps of the race before a flat-tire ended his night. Defending Potomac street stock champion Kyle Nelson then took the top spot and would lead the event for the next six-laps. Meanwhile, tenth-starting Mike Corbin had reached second by the fifth lap and would then wrestle the lead for good from Nelson on lap-nine. Corbin would then have to survive a late race flurry by current point leader Kurt Zimmerman to score his second career Potomac feature win. “Roy Anderson gave us a great car tonight.” Corbin stated. “There’s a lot of good cars here tonight and I’m glad we were able to get the win.” Mike Bennett placed third, Mike Reynolds was fourth and Scott Wilson rounded out the top-five. Heats for the 26-cars on hand went to Bennett, Johnson and David Kaiser.
In other action, Rusty Alton scored his second feature win of the season in the 15-lap hobby stock main, Larry Fuchs rolled to his fourth win of the season and career 31st in the 15-lap four-cylinder feature and Will Nelson annexed the 15-lap u-car feature.
