Gresham Motorsports Park Pro Late Model 100 To Honor Larry Fleeman

JEFFERSON, GA (April 28, 2014) – Longtime Georgia racing and Gresham Motorsports Park supporter Larry Fleeman will be honored as the title partner of Saturday’s Pro Late Model 100 event at GMP. The ‘Larry Fleeman Memorial 100’ marks the third year Fleeman will be on the marquee for a premiere event at GMP. In 2012 and 2013, GMP honored Fleeman – who passed away on May 2, 2012.

“Larry Fleeman was one of the best friends Georgia auto racing ever had and he was particularly generous in his continual efforts to support Gresham Motorsports Park,” said GMP general manager John Close. “Larry also happened to be one of the finest gentlemen anyone could ever meet and while it is unfortunate that he is no longer with us, it’s very satisfying to be able to continue to remember Larry and celebrate his life and contributions to our sport through this memorial event.”

The Larry Fleeman Memorial 100 will mark the first time a Pro Late Model event will be nationally telecast from Gresham Motorsports Park. One of the most exciting pavement divisions in the country, the one-hour taped delayed program of the Larry Fleeman Memorial 100 will be syndicated into more than 100 million households across the United States and Puerto Rico when it airs in mid-May.

Ogle along with outside pole sitter Ray Cook of Brasstown, NC., brought the field to the green for the initial start of the race, but as the field headed down the backstretch, midway through the field in turn three the cars of Tommy Kerr and Josh Putnam got together with Putnam cutting across the infield through the go kart track and Kerr flipping his car over.
