Lear Breaks the Ice, Scores Potomac First of Friday
Latham Top Dog in Street Stock Challenge

by Doug Watson
BUDDS CREEK, MD (June 14) - Severna Park Md.’s Kyle Lear scored his first feature win of the season in last Friday nights 20-lap Limited Late Model headliner at Potomac speedway. The win for Lear, the 14th of his Potomac career, made him the fourth different winner in the Limited Late Model ranks at the track this season.

Class rookie Jimmy Jesmer Jr. and Kyle Lear shared the front-row for the start of the event. Lear made the most of his good fortune as he shot into the race lead at the drop of the green flag. Fourth-starting Ryan Hackett slid into second on lap-3 and set his sights on Lear. The duo waged a furious battle over the final 17-laps, but Lear would hold tough to score the win. “This is a great way to start the weekend.” Lear stated in Potomac’s victory lane. “Our car was pretty good tonight because we were able to run on the top or bottom.” Lear stated. “It feels pretty good to finally get our first win of the season.” Superb track conditions aided in Lear’s winning run. “The track was real racy tonight.” Said Lear. “Anytime the track has two grooves, as a racer, you have nothing to complain about.” Daryl Hills, who came out of his semi-retirement was third, Tommy Wagner Jr. took fourth with 9th starting Derrick Quade rounding out the top-five. Wagner scored the heat race win.

Mike Latham drove a flawless race to score his second win of the season, and 30th of his career, in the 25-lap Potomac/Winchester challenge event for the Street Stocks. Winchester invaders Craig Parrill and Mike Franklin were the front row for the initial green of the event. Franklin would lead the race for 3-laps before fourth-starting Mike Latham took the top-spot on lap-4. Latham, and eventual runner-up Darren Alvey, raced door-to-door over the next 21-circuits with Latham prevailing at the finish. Franklin held on for third, Parrill was fourth with Barry Williams rounding out the top-five. Heats went to Alvey, Franklin and David Kaiser.

Ed Pope Jr. scored his first-career Hobby Stock feature win in the divisions 15-lap feature. Pope started on the pole and would lead the distance, however, he would have to hold of a late race rush from 10th starting Jamie Sutphin to post the win. Jerry Deason was third, Brian Adkins was fourth with Kenny Sutphin completing the top-five. Deason was the heat winner.

Mark Pollard became a two-time Potomac winner with his win in the 15-lap U-Car feature. Pollard started on the outside of the front-row and would romp home to a relatively easy win. Kevin Pollard came from twelfth to finish in second with Erica Bailey third, Billy Hill fourth and Tom Paddock filling the front five. Heats went to Paddock and Jason Wilkins.

Buddy Dunagan scored his first win of the season in the nightcap 15-lap Strictly Stock feature. Dunagan took the race lead from Ray Bucci on lap-4 and would go on take the win by a wide margin over eventual runner-up John Hardesty. JJ Silvious was third, Jimmy Suite took fourth with Johnny Hardesty rounding out the top-five. Ed Pope Sr. scored the heat race win.
