BURNSIDE, KY (April 20, 2008)—Victor Lee of Stanford, KY led all 25 laps in route to his second Super Late Model win of the season at the Lake Cumberland Speedway in Burnside, KY on Sunday Afternoon April 20, 2008.
The win was worth $1,000 while driving the Jay Dickens Racing Engines/CJ Rayburn Race Cars, Frank Revel Motorsports owned # 4 sponsored by Kentucky’s Best, PPM Racing Products, Budda Bert Transmissions, Bilstein Shocks, CT Marketing, American Racer Tires, Hypercoils, Dyer’s Top Rods, Tim Logan Racing Supply, and Ado’s Auto Parts.
The 2007 O’Reilly NARA Battle of the Bluegrass DirtCar Series Champion also backed up his Super Late Model win with an Open Wheel Modified Feature event win during the track-sanctioned events.
Pole-sitter Victor Lee and Justin Shaw brought the field to the green flag with Lee jumping to an early lead on the high groove.
The first of two cautions came on the fourth lap as veteran car builder/racer CJ Rayburn got caught up behind fellow Hoosier Rohn Moon spinning in turn three. Lee still held the point with Jerry Fuson, Royce McGowan, Shaw, and Dennis Barton the top-five.
The final yellow flag would come out on lap as Hollin Carson spun in turn two with Lee still out front.
Lee would go on to win with a strong margin at the line over Fuson, McGowan, Barton and Mark Walters completing the top-five.
NEWS AND NOTES:
-Royce McGowan of Faubush, KY rallied from a fifth place starting position on a dry-slick race-track to finish third while driving the McGowan Excavating, McGowan Angus Farms, Integra Racing Shocks, Shelby Johnson Lawn Service and Highway 80 Auto sponsored Cornett Racing Engines powered CJ Rayburn Race Car. This was only McGowan’s third feature attempt of 2008, and his first season back in a Dirt Late Model since November of 2002. McGowan plans to compete a full season with the O’Reilly NARA Battle of the Bluegrass DirtCar Series seeking the Rookie of the Year honors.
-The 2002 Lake Cumberland Speedway Track Champion Royce McGowan competed a couple weeks back at the Clinton County Speedway in Alpha, KY during his first event back in a dirt late model and found a seventh place finish even after being spun by Richard Smith during the Sunday event.
-The Sunday afternoon event drew 15 Super Late Models representing five states to the 3/8th’s mile oval located just south of Somerset, KY.
-Lee’s win came after a fifth place finish during the O’Reilly NARA Battle of the Bluegrass DirtCar Series stop at the Twin Cities Raceway Park in North Vernon, IN on April 18th. Lee also captured Fast Time in the opening Battle of the Bluegrass-sanctioned event. Saturday’s event was rained out at Brownstown Speedway on April 19th and will be made up later on.
-Nicholasville, KY driver Mark Walters finished fifth in his rookie season in a dirt late model during the Sunday afternoon Lake Cumberland stop. Walters drove in several previous seasons behind the wheel of an Open Wheel Modified.
