“Hardy Adds to Season Win Total With Potomac Late Model Score”

“Megan Mann RUSH Crate Late Model Star”

By Doug Watson

    Budds Creek MD (6-18-21)- There hasn’t been many tracks that Kyle Hardy hasn’t won at in 2021. Between the Crate and Limited Late Model’s, Hardy has racked up 15 feature wins and last Friday night he returned Potomac Speedway to score his first Super Late Model victory of the season. Hardy started on the pole and would pace all 35-circuits of the “Gene VanMeter” memorial and in doing so collected his first win with car owners Sommey and Ruth Ann Lacey and their familiar Rocket no.45. “I really wanted to get this team a win and I’m glad we were able to pull it off at their home track.” Hardy stated post race. “We weren’t that good when we unloaded tonight but Jimmy Quade Made some changes after qualifying and this thing was awesome.” Jamie Lathroum took second with Kenny Moreland, Jason Covert and Brent Bordeaux rounding out the top five.
    Megan Mann has been knocking on the door all season long and would finally break through for her first career win in the 20-lap RUSH Crate Late Model main. Newcomer Greg Carrico got the lead at the start with Mann tucking into second. The duo would run that way to the checkered flag however, Carrico’s career run was nullified as his car was light at the scales with Mann gaining the victory with her Rocket no.55. “We’ve had a good car all season and it feels great to finally win one”. A jubilant Mann stated in victory lane. “I just want to say thanks to my family and to everyone else who helped me get here tonight.” Timmy Booth took second with David Dill, Ed Pope Jr and Cody Stamp completing the top five. 
    In support class action, PJ Hatcher snared his 6th win of the season and career 21st in the 15-lap Street Stock feature, Erik Hanson became the sixth different winner of 2021 with his win in the 15-lap Hobby Stock event, Jason Penn collected his first-ever Potomac win in the 15-lap UCar main and Justin Hatcher closed the program with his 3rd win of the season in the nightcap 15-lap Strictly Stock feature.
