Brian Bellaw had the pole for the
Late Model feature but before a lap was down, Charlie
Vest and Chuck Burkhalter found themselves alittle too
close as they got together going into turn 1. Burkhalter
hit the wall and had to be towed into the pits with
Vest going in for some sheetmetal removal before rejoining
the field.
On the restart, Bellaw had his hands
full with Sam Watts who took the point followed by Bellaw,
Jeremy Fitch, A.J. Curreli, and Mark Smith. Curreli
passes Fitch for third and then takes over second from
Bellaw. Watts holds on for the win and takes the checkered
followed by A.J. Curreli, Brian Bellaw, Jeremy Fitch
and Mark Smith.
Chuck Burkhalter and Sam Watts won
the heat races.

Notes: Sam started outside the pole
after winning 2nd heat. After restart, he took
the lead on the backstretch of lap #1 and pulled
away from the field. By the end of the race, Sam
had about a 3/4 backstretch lead, taking checkered
flag for the 2nd time this year in Late Model
and moving him to 4th place in points. Not bad,
considering he's only been competing in this class
since the end of June!
