BUDDS CREEK, MD - Daryl Hills drove to his third win of the season in last Friday nights 20-lap Limited Late Model feature at Potomac Speedway. The win for Hills, his 15th career division feature win, also secured the 2015 track championship aboard his Ricky Lathroum owned Rocket no.55H.

Kerry King Sr. and Daryl Hills made up the front row for the start of the event with Hills surging into the race lead as the field stretched out off turn two. Hills would eventually lead all 20-circuits, but would have to repel a furious late race rush by eventual runner-up David Williams, who had recovered from and early race spin, to post the win. "I saw Davids number up there on the scoreboard late in the race and I figured we were done." Hills stated in his post race interview. "He has a fast race car and it was tough holding him off, but we were able to get the job done." Hills feature score capped off his championship season. "This championship go's to Ricky Lathroum and everyone who helped us this season." Hills remarked. "Ricky gave me the chance to drive his car this season and to get him three wins and a track title, I couldn't be more proud." Steven Axtell Jr.was third with Barry Lear Sr.and Billy Tucker rounding out the top-five. Heats went to Hills and Williams.
