Potomac Speedway Race Recap: Lathroum Celebrates While Williams, Edmonds Fume
BUDDS CREEK, Md. (April 4, 2009) -- Controversy and breathtaking racing kept spectators entertained at Greg Gunter’s Potomac Speedway all night Friday as they witnessed some exciting racing during “Marshall & Associates Insurance Night”. Close racing, beautiful weather and no rain. What more could you ask for?
A couple weeks ago in the first race of the 2009 season, the Street Stock feature had a controversial finish when Kurt Zimmerman’s red and black #9A car spun off the front bumper of the red #55 piloted by Barry Williams, Jr. Zimmerman and Williams said they have put the incident behind them, and Williams insisted the contact was not intentional. He was iffy about his chances on Friday Night and would not be a factor in the feature. Barry Williams, Sr., an accomplished driver at Potomac Speedway and former Southern Maryland Nationals winner, said his car was solid.
D.J. Myers, who won the opening night Super Late Model event, wasn’t sure about his chances. “We’ll try [to repeat],” insisted Myers. “Normally 20 or 25 cars have a good chance to win.”
David Williams, who battled with Myers for the win, discovered problems with his #07 Chevrolet and told racingforthewin.com before the race that the problems were fixed and that “the car’s good tonight, we’re ready to go.”
Williams had an incident in hot laps when he took off and tried to split two racecars and ran in to the side of George Moreland’s car. Both teams were able to get their cars fixed in time for their respective heat races.
There was also a noteworthy incident in the second Super Late Model heat race. Roland Mann, who went on to win the feature, made contact with Kyle Lear in a battle for the lead. After the finish, Lear drove up beside Mann’s car and rubbed tires.
