Collin Allman in Victory Lane<\/p><\/div>\n

By Scott Lockwood,\u00a0Desoto Speedway –\u00a0When Colin Allman spun into the infield just a few laps into Saturday\u00a0night’s 100-lap Sunoco Challenge Super Series Late Model feature\u00a0event at Desoto Speedway, he figured his chances of a decent finish went up\u00a0in smoke. \u00a0But when the smoke and carnage ended, it was Allman who was left holding\u00a0the trophy in victory lane after beating several of the state’s top drivers\u00a0in his first-ever win in a Super Late Model \u2013 part of a night that saw all\u00a0sorts of madness under a full moon in eastern Manatee County.<\/p>\n

Polesitter Joe Boyd and third place starter Michael Atwell got the jump on\u00a0Tyler Scofield and Jesse Dutilly on the start. The pair needed just a\u00a0handful of laps to build a sizable lead, which was erased with Allman’s\u00a0spin on lap 9. Dylan Bigley went from fourth to second on the restart. Dutilly eventually\u00a0got by Atwell for third, quickly ran down Bigley and was battling for the\u00a0runner-up spot when he got loose and spun coming out of turn two on the 28th lap.<\/p>\n

As Boyd controlled the race, all eyes were on Dutilly to see if he could\u00a0drive his way through the field. After battling Nick Neri for several laps,\u00a0he got to sixth at the halfway point, was fourth eight laps later and\u00a0caught the Atwell\/Bigley battle for second on lap 70. \u00a0Dutilly dispatched Atwell for third as the field completed the 73rd lap and would stage a side-by-side battle with Bigley for second. Bigley was just\u00a0ahead of Dutilly when the yellow flag came out for John Coffman’s spin with\u00a020 laps to go.<\/p>\n

Dutilly got by Bigley with 16 laps left and was on Boyd’s rear bumper\u00a0within three laps. The pair raced nose-to-tail for several laps, with Boyd\u00a0thwarting Dutilly’s efforts on the outside. Dutilly was trying a cross-over\u00a0attempt on Boyd when the caution flew with seven laps to go. \u00a0On what appeared to be the final restart, Dutilly got the jump on Boyd and\u00a0crossed the start\/finish line before the rest of the field. Dutilly was\u00a0sent to the rear of the field for jumping the start, ending his hopes of\u00a0back-to-back Desoto victories.<\/p>\n

Boyd spun his tires on the restart, allowing Atwell to grab the lead with\u00a0six laps to go. A lap later, Boyd and Atwell got together coming out of\u00a0turn four. Atwell spun into the infield, and both were sent to the rear of\u00a0the field. \u00a0The incident put Allman, who started on the outside pole, in the lead. The\u00a0young driver withstood a pair of restarts and held on for the victory.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn’t think I was going to be able to bounce back, but luck was on our\u00a0side tonight,\u201d Allman said. \u201cI wanted to be sure we were really good on\u00a0those last few restarts and not spinning the tires. We got a good drive off\u00a0the corner on the last restart and it stuck.\u201d<\/p>\n

Boyd Claims Desoto Triple Crown<\/p><\/div>\n

Bigley finished second, with Shane Sawyer, Boyd and Dutilly rounding out\u00a0the top five. Boyd claimed the Desoto Triple Crown for the Late Models that\u00a0went back to last season. He received a ring from Martin’s Jewlers along with a\u00a0custom trophy for his efforts.<\/p>\n

The DART Pro Trucks were also on hand for a 50-lap feature event. Tommy\u00a0Kelly grabbed the lead from polesitter Cameron Cruse at the green flag with\u00a0Corey Bigley in tow. The three set sail from the rest of the field over the
\ncourse of the next 40 laps. As Kelly fought a loose race truck to stay in the lead, Bigley and Cruse\u00a0staged a side-by-side battle for second place. Cruse eventually got by, but\u00a0couldn’t run down Kelly in the final laps. Cruse held off Bigley in a photo\u00a0finish for second. Scott McKay and Cody McDuffie rounded out the top five.<\/p>\n

Kelly and Cruse were both later disqualified after they failed postrace\u00a0technical inspection, which gave the win to Bigley.<\/p>\n

In other action Saturday night, Jimmy Wilkins won the 25-lap TQ Midget\u00a0feature; Cameron Cruse held off Johnny Marra to win the 25-lap Mini Stock\u00a0feature; Carl Thompson passed Aaron Holmes with two laps to go to win the
\n25-lap Bomber feature; Rachelle Rudolph won the 25-lap Pep Boys Speed Shop\u00a0Modified Mini feature; and Jeff Firestine finished the night by winning the\u00a025-lap Take Aim Gun Range Street Stock feature.<\/p>\n

Next week at Desoto Speedway, the Bombers take center stage for the 100-lap\u00a0Florida State Bomber Championship. School Bus Figure 8’s and Desoto Enduro\u00a0classes will also be in action.<\/p>\n
