Mineral Wells, WV September 2, 2010 Jason Shank All Star Championship Racing Inc.
Vienna, West Virginia's Steve Shave has been virtually unstoppable at the BDS Promotions West Virginia Motor Speedway since it reopened back in May of this year. Shaver continued his dominance during the O'Reilly All Star Late Model Series sanctioned $5,000 to win, 'Mark Balzano Memorial' with a last lap pass over World of Outlaws Late Model Series point leader Josh Richards of Shinnston, WV.
Latrobe, PA's Davey Johnson and Ashland, KY's Steve Francis brought the field to the green flag with Francis jumping out to the early lead.
Francis held the point early in the event while Johnson and eventual race winner Steve Shaver battled throughout the early laps for the runner-up spot but as Francis closed in on lapped traffic, the duo of Johnson and Shave began to reel in the race leader. Johnson began to pressure Francis for the race lead but a lap 12 caution for the slowed car of Doug Drown thwarted that rally.
When racing resumed Francis led the field into turn one but as the field exited turn two, Francis looked to have lost a motor and bottle the front group of cars up while fast qualifier Kennie Compton shot to the outside and drove around the top cars of Johnson, Shaver, Richards and Lux while Johnson also got shuffled back. Three laps later Johnson came up lame in turn two with a flat right rear tire to bring out the events second caution on lap 15.
When racing resumed Compton continued to lead as Shaver and Richards stalked the race leader through the middle stages of the event. By the mid-way point Richards had made his move past the K & L Rumley Enterprises owned car of Shaver and into the second spot while setting his sights on the race leader. On lap 24 Richards poked his nose under the Bloomquist Chassis driven by Compton but slipped coming out of turn four, losing all of his momentum but was able to hold onto the second spot with Shaver all over his rear deck-lid.
It wasn't long before Richards was back on the bumper of Compton and again pressuring the leader for the top spot. On lap 30 Richards got a run on Compton coming out of turn four and was scored the leader that lap as he led by the nose of his Ernie Davis owned #25 Rocket Chassis. The two battled side-by-side through turns one and two with Richards gaining the momentum out of turn two to complete the pass. Shaver was also right there waiting for his opportunity to get around Compton and on lap 34 he made the pass for second and began to reel in Richards.
Richards had stretched his lead to about six to eight car lengths by the 36th circuit and caught lapped traffic on lap 37 which would end up helping Shaver close in. As the two came to the white flag, Richards tried a slide job style move on a lapped car which took a majority of his momentum and opened the door for Shaver to slip underneath the defending World of Outlaws Late Model Series Champion. Shaver would complete the pass in turns one and two and go on to win his first ASLMS event of his career and third at 'The Speedplant' since it s reopening in May of 2010. Richards was second followed by John Blankenship in third, Compton was fourth while Matt Lux rounded out the top five. Rod Conley was sixth with Eddie Carrier Jr. in seventh, Gregg Satterlee eighth, Jared Miley ninth and ASLMS point leader Robbie Blair tenth.
