Williams wins Steel Block Bandits in Western Maryland Nationals at The Rock

Matt Felten
CUMBERLAND, Md. -- David Williams captured the ninth annual Western Maryland Nationals headliner to close the season for the Steel Block Bandits and The Rock, Allegany County Speedway on Saturday night.

Williams prevailed over Walker Arthur and D.J. Troutman in the 50-lap main event and celebrated the cool $5,000 win on a chilly night. Williams was one of three new Nationals winners along with Justin Michael, Hobby Stocks, and Nick Iski, 4-Cylinders. Chris Chamberlain and Ray Shepherd, the 2009 winners, won the Street Stock and 6/8-Cylinder races.

Williams, of Charlotte Hall, Md., chased down Arthur 17 laps into the race and grabbed the lead on lap 19. After the halfway stop, Williams was in control the rest of the way. After Arthur, whose second-place finish secured the series championship, Troutman and Glenn Elliott ended up third and fourth after getting around Rick Singleton early on lap 15. Singleton ended up fifth.

Chris Harr, Gene Knaub, Tyler Armstrong, Danny Snyder and Booper Bare rounded out the top 10. The race had four cautions.

Chamberlain was in control throughout the 30-lap Street Stock race. Bob Jay, John Whitfield, Daryl Whetstone and Justin Bonnett claimed the rest of the top five spots. Chamberlain was leading by a straightaway as Jay, Todd Dennis and Whitfield battled for second early.

The race was stopped at lap eight for a crash involving Bobby Neratka on the backstretch. By lap 12, Dennis fell out of the race and Matt Howsare exited on lap 16, leaving Jay, Whitfield and Whetstone running second through fourth. Chamberlain won by over three seconds over Jay at the conclusion.

Michael led all the way in the 25-lap Hobby Stock race over Travis Group. Michael and Group pulled away early leaving Charlie Walter, R.T. Troutman and David Riley racing in the top five. Another hard crash stopped the race when Rudy Denke and Kevin Van Horn hit the wall in turn three, sending Van Horn over the guardrail. After the clean-up, and the final caution for Walter on lap 17, Michael pulled away from Group in the waning laps. Troutman, Riley and Justin Milburn completed the top five.

Iski emerged with the lead after two attempts at the initial start and stayed out front to collect the checkered flag 18 laps later in the 4-Cylinder feature. Steve Settle and Mike Lauffer finished second and third. Davey Lambert and Paul Koffler Jr. completed the top five.

Shepherd won the 6/8-Cylinder race over Will Worthington and Brandon Inglish. Inglish closed the gap in the final laps but when Worthington spun to bring out the caution, Inglish's car stalled and he was unable to continue.
