Early season Semi-Late dominator Allen Brannon, returned to the Late Models again this week, and it was his machine that was up front when the green flag flew over the field. Gerald Davis began his charge as he took it to Mike Hardy for second early, along with Tommy Armel who was also strong before eventually falling out with mechanical issues.
After dispatching the Hardy machine, Davis began to track down the leader. Once there, Davis and Brannon began a spirited duel for position before Davis took the spot.
And then following a caution, what could only be called as Winchester's version of the Talladega “Big One” occurred when contact between Kris Eaton and Shane Coffey saw Coffey spin, Brad Omps would collide hard with the Coffey machine and get airborne, also taken out in this accident was Mitch Miller.
The red flag flew as it took some time to clean up the wreckage on the frontstretch. At the green it was Davis leading Brannon, with Jared Powell in the third spot, Powell attempting to move into the second position had to get on the binders, ending up three wide down the backstretch and then spinning in turn three, he would continue following the incident.
After that Davis was able to stretch his lead over Brannon and take his second feature win of the year over Allen Brannon, Mike Hardy, Kris Eaton, and Walter Crouch rounded out the top five.
Heats for the 19 Late Models were won by Jared Powell and Gerald Davis.

3 cars totaled but drivers are OK

I thought I would give everyone an update about the bad accident that happened at Winchester Saturday night.

Mitch is fine and working right now on putting together a new car.

Shane Coffey is fine with just a bruise on the top of one of his feet.

Brad Omps is fine and doing much better than expected since he just recently went through back surgery.

Thank you, God, for keeping our racers safe!

Going into turn 1 Kris Eaton got up under the 24 of Shane Coffey. This caused him to spin and Brad Omps (5) collided hard with him causing Omps to flip a couple of times. Mitch was up along the rail with no where to go ending up slamming on the brakes hard but still t-boned Coffey in the drivers side. It was not a pretty sight!

I am glad you enjoyed Winchester. We are working on another car right now hoping to have it ready for Friday night's first S.M.A.R.T. series race in Elkins, WV. We will not be at Winchester that weekend due to travelling with the S.M.A.R.T. series out of town. I seem to keep missing you. BUT we are still planning on making the trip down in June to CLR.
