Phenix City, Alabama (12/02/13) - William Thomas competed in the 13th Annual Turkey 100 at Swainsboro Raceway (Swainsboro, Georgia) over the weekend, and by the time the final checkered flag had dropped he had 20,000 reasons to be happy as he had conquered his eleventh win of the season in his #19 AIS Motorsports/Alexander's Industrial Services/GRT by Weaver Late Model.
Sixty-one entries registered for battle, and Thomas served notice that he meant business on Friday evening by registering the fastest lap in qualifications with a 14.700 second lap around the 1/3 mile oval to earn a $400 bonus. He would follow up his qualifying effort by racing to the win in the first heat race to earn the pole position for Saturday night's 50 lap finale.
For the main event on Saturday night Thomas was joined on the front row by Michael Brown, and as the race went green William bolted to the lead. He would go on to withstand various challenges for the top spot including a late-race charge from Ray Cook to score the $20,000 win, which marked his second triumph in the big event. Cook, Chip Brindle, Ivedent Lloyd Jr., and Michael Brown rounded out the top five finishers.
"This has been an amazing season with the double digit wins, the Chevrolet Performance Super Late Model Championship, and now this victory," commented Thomas. "Hopefully we can add one more win to the list before we put a wrap on the season."
Full results from the weekend are available at www.SwainsboroRaceway.com.
The team is slated to enter a final event on December 28th-29th with the $10,000-to-win program at 441 Speedway (Dublin, Georgia). For more information, please visit www.441Speedway.com .
