Budds Creek, MD- Severn Maryland’s Kyle Lear continued his mid-season surge as he was victorious for the third time this season in last Friday night’s 25-lap limited late model headliner at the Potomac Speedway.
Stevie Long and Bruce Kane brought the field down to the initial green flag of the event. Kane got the jump at the start as he darted into the race lead at the completion of the first circuit. As Kane led the event, 12th starting Kyle Lear was on the move. Lear took the second spot from Stevie Long on lap-12 and would the set his sights on leader Kane. The duo would race nose to tail until Lear made the winning pass off turn two on lap-22. From that point on Lear would lead the remaining 4-laps of the feature to collect his third Potomac limited late model feature win in a row.
“ What more can you say about these MD1 Race cars.” Lear stated in his post race interview. “The track stayed tacky all night , and we’re on a roll right now so hopefully we can keep it going.” Runner-up Bruce Kane gave Lear all he could handle during the 25-lap event. “Bruce has got his car figured out now.” Lear said. “He was good tonight , but we were able to get by him=2 0and get the win.” Sommey Lacey took third, Ed Pope collected fourth and Stevie Long completed the top-five. Heats for the 13-cars on hand went to Lear and Kane.
The street stocks contested two 16-lap events on Friday night with Kyle Nelson scoring his third win of the season in the make-up event over Ben Bowie, Donnie Smith, Kurt Zimmerman and Troy Kassirs. In the regularly scheduled event it was Troy Kassiris scoring his first-ever Potomac street stock feature win over Kyle Nelson, Kevin Cooke, Jason Murphy and Donnie Smith.
In other action, Matt Hill scored his second-straight win in the 15-lap crate late model feature, John Latham returned to victory lane for the fourth time this season in the 15-lap hobby stock main and Greg Gunter rolled to his fourth straight win in the 15-lap four-cylinder feature.
