Lake City FL -The “Tallahassee Terror” Tyler Ivey used an early race restart to overtake Brandon DeWitt and turned away several challenges to win Saturday nights National Late Model Series race at North Florida Speedway.Jason Davis sped to victory in Open Wheel Modified action. Andy Olson nabbed his first Pure Stock feature of the 2011 season while Street Stock point leader Marty Smith stood in victory lane for the third time this year. Daryl Larson scored his first career win in Box Stock action.<\/p>\n
Twenty One Late Models lined up for their forty lap feature and fast qualifier Brandon Dewitt would set the pace for the first four laps when J.R. Moseley would bring out the first caution. As the green flag waved for the restart Travis Carter would spin in turn one setting up another restart attempt. The next start was good and Tyler Ivey would power past DeWitt for the lead on lap five. Lap eight would see the caution fly again as Larry Anderson spun around in turn two. Ivey would soon encounter lapped traffic on lap eighteen and at the halfway point Anderson spun again in front of the majority of the field to bring out the caution. As the field circled the track under caution Anderson and Clay Bedenbaugh made contact with each other a couple of times with Anderson being summonsed to the infield for the remainder of the race. As the field took the green for the restart the field got bottled up with Austin Kirkpatrick being the loser in the fray as he ended up on his roof at the end of the front straightaway. Fortunately Kirkpatrick was okay as he quickly exited his damaged machine on his own. After a delay the race would resume but Dewitt and Mark Whitener could not find a way to get around Ivey and the 2010 NLMS series champion would be the first to the checkers.<\/p>\n
P.J. Wiggins would lead the Open Wheel Modifieds to green but with one lap in the books third place car David Crews Jr. would roll to a stop at the exit of turn four. Under caution Wiggins would have to go to the pit area to change a flat tire and this handed the lead over to Jason Davis. Wiggins would rejoin the field but bring out the caution on lap two. While Davis would survive multiple cautions Dave Wansley and Josh Sanford would stage an entertaining battle for second. As the laps wound down and Davis would enjoy a comfortable lead early race leader Wiggins would work his way back to the front of the field and join Sanford and Wansley in their battle for second and third. Davis would cruise home to the win with Sanford second and Wiggins third.<\/p>\n
Nineteen cars would make up the field for the Pure Stock feature with Richard Reed and Andy Olson on the front row. Olson would move to the early lead with John Roberts and Jerry Fortner battling for position behind him. By lap seven 2010 Pure Stock Champ Shane Taylor would work his way up to second from his eighth starting spot and set his sights on the race leader. Olson would see his comfortable lead erased on lap ten as the caution would come out for a spin by Jim Langtry and Bernie Thrift. The field would get one lap in before Alan Bedenbaugh brought out the caution again. Olson would be able to hold off Taylor for the win with John Roberts rounding out the top three.<\/p>\n
The Street Stock field would have Dan Gifford and Tim Harrell on the front row. Gifford would take the early lead and find himself being challenged by Kenny Hicks and Randy Barnhart. Barnhart would take over the top spot and lead until lap eleven when point leader Marty Smith would wrestle the lead from Barnhart after moving through the field from his tenth starting position. Lap twelve would see Smith going for a spin with help from Barnhart. Smith would be put back in his spot with Barnhart going to the tail for his involvement in the incident. From there Smith would hold off Randy Clark Jr. and Randy Moody for win number three of 2011.<\/p>\n
Box Stocks would round out the nights racing action and Daryl Larson and point leader Bryar Zimmerman would bring the field to the green flag. Larson would move to the early lead with Zimmerman and Cory Crews giving chase. Lap two would be the first caution of the night as Crews made contact with Zimmerman in turn two. One lap later Billy Wilson and Crews would bring out another caution. Lap five would be the end of the night for Zimmerman as contact from Bobby Denard would see Zimmerman spin to the top of turn one and then get collected by Wilson. From there Larson would run to the checkered flag to collect his first victory in his rookie season. Cory Crews and Steven Wetherington would round out the top three.<\/p>\n
