NASHVILLE, TN – As if leading the points standings at the
historic Music City Motorplex in the NASCAR Late Model division
wasn’t enough for eighteen year old rookie Dillon Oliver, he also
scored his first career Late Model victory at the Motorplex Saturday
May 5 in front of a great crowd of fans.
Oliver started along side Skip McCord for the drop of the fifty lap
NASCAR Late Model feature and immediately began to pull away from
the field. Oliver
pulled out to a two second lead by lap four with McCord, Mark Day,
Daniel Pope and Michael House battling for second on back.
McCord’s strong run ended on lap twenty-nine when his engine
went up in smoke bringing out the only caution of the event.
On the restart, Oliver remained out front with Day on his
rear bumper. Johnson
and Montgomery battled door to door during the final laps for the
fifth position. Oliver
held off Day to score his first Late Model victory at the Motorplex
followed Day, Pope, House and Johnson.
Kyle Fletcher and Bobby Buttrey brought the NASCAR Super Trucks down
for the start of the forty lap feature and remained side by side for
nearly eight laps, as did the entire field.
Behind Fletcher and Buttrey, Daniel Victory and Daniel Bolden
ran door to door for the third and forth positions.
Buttrey finally pulled ahead of Fletcher on lap eight, but
Fletcher came right back after Buttrey the following lap.
Victory went three wide with Buttrey and Fletcher when
Fletcher’s truck got loose entering turn one.
Victory took over the top spot with Fletcher, Buttrey, Blake
Williams and Bolden close behind.
The first caution of the night fell on lap sixteen when
Fletcher’s truck spun exiting turn four.
Amazingly everyone avoided the spinning truck and Fletcher
kept his truck out of the wall.
Victory remained out front on the restart, but Bolden
immediately began challenging him for the lead.
Bolden took over the position on lap twenty-five.
Buttrey and Larry Ryman got together exiting turn four on lap
thirty-three sending Ryman hard into the inside wall bringing out
the final caution of the night.
Bolden held off the field on the restart and in the closing
laps to pick up his first career Super Truck victory.
Williams finished second followed by Victory, Steven Meador
and Terry Hayes.
Wayne White continued his dominance in the NASCAR Grand Nationals
division by leading the way from the drop of the green flag until
the drop of the checkered flag.
White started the race from the pole position with Eddie
Taylor and Lee Goddard battling side by side for the second spot.
Howard Tucker and Jeffrey Belt traded the fourth position
back and forth for several laps.
John Leeland brought out the only caution of the event when
his car spun in turn one after him and Michael Crow got together.
White,
Taylor
and Belt stayed bumper to bumper on the restart and began to pull
away from the field.
Tim Haggard, Sam McCord, David Sokol and Crow battled back and forth
for the sixth position in the closing laps.
White held on to take his forth win followed by Belt,
Taylor,
Tucker and Goddard.
Mark Ryman and Matt Barnes brought the Thunderstox down to the green
flag. Dale Travis made
his way to the lead on lap three with Ryman, Barnes, CJ Adams and
Dale Travis all close behind.
Ricky Groves spun in turn four collecting Arthur Choate and
Joshua Hood bringing out the caution.
Jeremy Newman made his way to the front on lap seven.
A late race caution involving
Adams,
Stephanie Barnes and Hood resulted in a green white checkered
finish. Newman held on
to take the win followed by Charles Goddard Jr, Dale Travis, Matt
Barnes and Taylor Ryman.
Dylan Presnell held off a hard charging Brandon Summers to pick up
his first win on his first appearance at the Motorplex in 2008 in
the Legend Semi Pro division.
Summers finished second followed by Michael Bolden, Travis
Adcox and Harry Harvey.
Kevin Rollins picked up his second win of 2008 in the Legend Pro
division. Tyler Slayden
finished second, James Fowlkes third, Rob Sanders forth and Josh
Berry fifth. Kenny
Summers picked up the win in the Legend Master’s division.
Timothy Lunn scored his first win in the Dwarf cars followed by
David Ring, Greg Gresham, Ricky McIllwain and Allen Ring.
