Quade up to the Challenge Friday night at Potomac Speedway

by Doug Watson
Budds Creek, MD- Mechanicsville Md.’s Derrick Quade, the 2007 limited late model track champion, became the fifth different winner of the season in last Friday nights 30-lap Potomac/Winchester Challenge at Potomac speedway. Quade’s win was his fifth career in the division and was worth a cool $1000 pay day.

Brad Ritter and Tommy Wagner Jr. brought the field down to the green flag for the start of the event. Ritter got a good start as he darted into the race lead. As Ritter lead, 19th starting Stevie long was on the move. Long reached third by the fifth lap and set his sights on leader Ritter. Long snared the top-spot on lap-seven and appeared headed to his second consecutive Potomac win. Meanwhile, Derrick Quade was on the move as well after he pitted for fresh rubber early in the event that placed him at the rear of the field. Quade reached second by lap-eight and would then battle Long for the next 19-laps. A caution on lap-26 was what Quade needed as went to the high side of the speedway to grab the lead from Long as the duo exited turn-two. Quade would then lead the remaining circuits to post the win.

“Man this is what we needed.” Quade stated. “I cant thank Joe and Stretch and all the guys who work on this car enough for giving me such a good car tonight.” The lap-26 caution was the opportunity Quade was looking for. “I knew we had a fast race car as soon as we hit the track tonight.” Said Quade. “I could tell early we picked the wrong tire so we made a pit stop to make changes, and after that it was just a matter of getting through lapped traffic, but Stevie is fast down here and it was fun racing with him the way we did and I sure am happy we were able to pull off the win.” Long held on for second, David Williams also came from the rear to finish third, Ben Bowie was fourth and Glenn Elliott rounded out the top-five. Heats for the 20 cars on hand went to Bowie and Wagner.

Stephen Quade finally put it all together as he scored his first career Potomac feature win in the 16-lap street stock feature. Quade clearly had the car to beat as he would start on the pole and go on to lead every lap of the event as he would take the win by a wide margin over runner-up Troy Kassiris. Sam Archer was third, 16th starting Kurt Zimmerman took fourth and Scott Wilson completed the top-five. Heats went to Quade and Kassiris.

In other action, Tony Quade kept the Quade name in victory lane with his second win of the season in the 20-lap modified feature, Jimmy Randall collected his second win of the season in the 15-lap hobby stock main and John Hardisty also rolled to win number two in the 20-lap strictly stock feature.
