| Allman Blazes to DeSoto LLM Win | By Rick Anges
When the green flag dropped on the 50 Lap Limited Late
Model feature Chad Allman #67 wasted no time in
putting his brand new ride on the point and pulling
away from the pack. But the action behind him was hot
and heavy.
Randy Fox #88 was running strong in the top five when
Dewayne Bryant #63, who had fast time tried getting
under Fox going into turn one and slid up into him
causing Fox to loose several valuable positions.
Several tense moments occurred when the #1 of Johnny
Jackson and Jeff Dufresne #34 got together coming down
the front stretch and both slammed the wall hard with
Jackson’s car ending up on top of the #34. Both
drivers were able to walk away from the wreck
Dufresne’s car getting the worst of the damage.
On the restart Allman appeared to have missed a shift
and failed to start on the green almost causing a huge
pile up at the start finish line. Later it was found
out that the shifter had broken in the car and after
that he had to hold it while driving one handed.
Allman was able to man handle the car and hold off the
Timber Wolf Hard Charger Winner of the night Steve
Dorer #10 to take the well earned victory. Jeremy
Geiger #42 had his best ever finish taking third, John
Shields #37 brought his Mopar home in fourth and
rounding out the top five was #4 Frank Parzych.
Street Stock Shootout
Rich Clouser #8 looked to have the field covered early
in the race jumping out to a commanding lead but over
heating problems thwarted his effort to win the fifty
lapper.
It was Matt Scheffler 10x who made his way through the
field to take the victory by holding off #77 Scott
Woodland who had his own hands full with a hard
charging Chet Roberts sporting a new power plant in
the third spot, Fourth across the line was Tommy
Huffstuler #4 and fifth went to #27 Jonathan
Heidenthal.
Desoto Trucks
A jubilant Leonard McCue #71 took his first ever
feature win in the Truck series leading most of the
race. Thomas Carter #12 was second, third was #94
Shane Russ fourth was early race leader #7 Bill Davis
and finishing out the top five was the #29 of Tim
Shaffner.
Mini-Cups
Brian Etty in his Dale Earnhardt look a like #3 took
the win in the Fl Mini-Cup feature event. The NASCAR
looking small cars had one heck of a race beating and
banging just like the big boys. The rest of the top
five was Eryk Hardwick #57 in second, Brett Jameson
#70 third, fourth was #31 Terry Lee Tullis and in
fifth Bobby Payton #14.
Mod-Minis
Steve Gill #5 top the modified Mini stock field
beating out Paul Huffstuter #74, #44 Clay Joseph, #2
Corbin Gibbs and #3 Matt Watts.
Mini-Stocks
The Dutilly’s were back ontop in the mini stock wars
with John Dutilly #38 holding off son Jessie #30 for
the victory. John Wilson #05 took third ahead of #35
Greg Krohm and rounding out the top five was #14 John
Bailey.
