“Lear Gaining Momentum, Wins Third at Potomac”
“Kyle Nelson Claims Fourth Street Stock Win”
By Doug Watson
Budds Creek, MD- Severna Park Md.’s Kyle Lear was triumphant in last Friday nights 20-lap limited late model headliner at the Potomac Speedway.
The victory was Lear’s third feature win of the season, and his third win in the last five races run at the track this season.
Paul Cursey and David Williams lead the field to the initial green flag of the event with Williams getting the jump at the start. Wheeling his Sommey Lacey owned, Rocket no.45, Williams appeared headed to his second feature win of the season as he built up nearly a full straightaway lead by the half-way point of the race. However, fourth starting Kyle Lear had other ideas. Lear reached second by the third lap, but it took him almost the entire event to reel in leader Williams. A lap seventeen caution set the stage for a dramatic finish. When the green was displayed, Lear out-dragged Williams to the first turn and would then go on to lead the remaining three circuits to score his 11th career Potomac limited late model feature win aboard his MD1 Race cars no.151.
“ I’ll tell you what Mo (DeFino) and all the crew deserve this win tonight.” Lear stated. “We put a new body on the car during the week and a new engine as well and the crew worked their guts out this week.” The lap-seventeen re-start gave Lear the needed opportunity at leader David Williams. “This car really likes the bottom and I knew If I could get along side of him going into turn-one I’d have a shot at the win, and here we are.” Williams held on for second, PJ Hatcher was third, current point leader Derrick Quade took fourth and one-time 2010 winner Glenn Elliott completed the top-five. Heats went to Williams and Quade.
Defending track champion Kyle Nelson drove to his division leading fourth feature win of the season in the 16-lap street stock feature. Nelson, who started sixth, wrestled the top spot from current divisional point leader Kurt Zimmerman on the ninth-lap and would then survive three caution periods to post his 14th career Potomac street stock win. Zimmerman held on for second, Mike Reynolds was third, 12th starting Troy Kassiris collected fourth and Kirk Evans rounded out the top-five. Heats went to Reynolds and Zimmerman.
In other action Larry Fuchs scored his 30th career and third of the season in the 20-lap four-cylinder feature and Jimmy Randall posted his third feature win of the season in the 15-lap hobby stock main.
