Bo Miller Scores First Late Model Victory Since 2004 at the
Motorplex
NASHVILLE,
TN
– 2003 Music City Motorplex Track Champion, Bo Miller has not
stepped into the famous Victory Lane at the
Motorplex since 2004, but that all changed Saturday April 26 as
Miller dominated the NASCAR Late Model division and returned to Victory Lane.
Mark Day and Daniel Pope brought the NASCAR Late Models down to take
the green flag, but Ed McClain, TW Fisher, Mark Montgomery and Tyler
Brown all went spinning in turn one right after the green flag fell
resulting in a complete restart.
The cars got jammed up on the second restart and sent Brown
and DW Shacklett hard into the wall.
Jason Burchard, Josh Byrns and McClain also received damage.
Once the racing got back underway, Day lead Bo Miller, Pope,
Andy Johnson and Michael House.
Miller took over the top position on lap four.
By lap thirteen, Miller stretched his lead out to nearly two
seconds over Day. Skip
McCord and Chase Montgomery battled the entire race side by side for
the fifth position.
Miller took the checkereds for the first time since 2004 in the Late
Model division at the Motorplex followed by Day, Johnson, Pope and
McCord.
Lee Goddard jumped out in front at the drop of the green flag for
the NASCAR Grand Nationals seventy-five lap feature.
Goddard led the way followed by Wayne White, Eddie Taylor,
Jeff Belt and Michael Crow.
Goddard, White and Taylor ran bumper to bumper until lap
forty-one when Goddard got trapped behind a lapped car coming off
turn four, backing up the field.
Belt caught the worst end of the deal, going hard into the
outside wall. Howard
Tucker and Crow both spun to avoid the accident.
On the restart White led the way with Taylor, Goddard, Jeremy
Adams and Crow close behind.
The top five cars ran nose to tail until lap seventy-one when
Crow and Adams got together sending Adams
spinning. White held
everyone off in the final laps, picking up his third win in a row
followed by Taylor, Goddard, Tucker and Tim Haggard.
Jess Williams took the early race lead in the NASCAR Super Truck
feature. Bobby Buttrey
made his way around Williams on lap seven to take over the top spot.
By lap twelve, Buttrey had stretched his lead to nearly two
seconds over Blake Williams, Larry Ryman, Steven Meador and Jess
Williams. Meador brought
out the only caution of the night for a spin on the front straight
away. Buttrey remained
out front on the restart and took his first career victory in the
NASCAR Super Trucks followed by Daniel Victory, Daniel Bolden, Blake
Williams and Ryman.
Matt Barnes led the always exciting Thunderstox down to the green
flag for their twenty lap feature, but Danny Wilkerson made his way
into the lead on lap two.
Wilkerson led the way followed by Dale Travis, Barnes,
Charles Goddard Jr and Stephanie Barnes.
Jeremy Newman and Travis got together on lap seventeen
sending Newman’s car spinning and resulting in the only caution of
the night. Wilkerson
held on to take the win followed by Goddard, Matt Barnes, Joshua
Hood and Cory Jones.
Giles Martin and Cody Fernett started on the front row for the
Legend Semi Pro feature.
Martin jumped out in front with Brandon Summers, Fernett, Travis
Adcox and AJ Carlisi close behind.
Martin held on to pick up his first victory of 2008 followed
by Summers, Fernett, Adcox and Carlisi.
Kevin Rollins led from flag to flag to score his first Legend Pro
victory of 2008 followed by Rob Sanders, Josh Berry and Tyler
Cordell. Kenny Summers
scored another Legend Master win followed by Ten-A-C Slatton and
Kevin Riggs.
Blake Jones led from flag to flag in the Bandolero Young Guns on his
first race at the Motorplex in 2008, scoring the win followed by
Sean Hosey and Laura Gentry.
Mason Massey made it two wins in two starts in the Bandolero
Bandits followed by Layne Clifton, Kyle Weatherman, Zach McLean and
Clayton Weatherman.
