The
mild spring weather brought another great crowd to see a field
full of cars Saturday night at Tazewell Speedway. The main events
of the night was a $1,200 to win feature in Limited Late Models
and Twin Features for Modified Street. Nineteen Limited Late
Models were on hand to vie for the top prize. In time trials
Jason Trammell would turn the fastest lap yet his time was disallowed
as he came up light on the scales and was relegated to the tail
of the field for the feature. That would give the pole position
over to Clinton's Mark Leach who won at Wartburg Speedway the
night before. Leach would share the front row with Travis Fultz.
After
two attempts to start were waved off, Fultz gained the advantage
over Leach as the field took the green. Fultz lead all the way
to turn three on the first lap and tapped the wall coming out
of four as Leach dove low to take the top spot. Fultz would
gather himself and settle into second. Leach pulled out to a
commanding lead until lap nineteen when he caught up to lap
traffic. This would allow Fultz to close in yet Leach diced
his way through the traffic. Just as Leach was ready to cruise
to victory he collided with the lap car of Marty Calloway lap
33 on the front stretch. Calloway had just taken lay-over flag
and was in the racing groove directly in the path of the leader.
Leach would crash hard into Calloway and suffer front end suspension
damage ending his night. Fultz tagged Calloway flattening the
left front tire. This would give the top spot to Sneedville's
Nichols and former Pure Street winner. Nichols would hold off
a hard charging Steve Carr to score his first Late Model win
in the Nichols Tire, Smith Auto Parts Warrior Race Car.
