Delmar, De…..Jordan Watson gets the job done this week to claim his first HAS big
block modified win of the year at Delmar. Watson would start 6 th at the start but
with no laps in yet, 3 cars tangled in turns 1 and 2 with Scott VanGorder getting
up and over ending his night before it started. On the second start, Shawn Ward
would lead with Robert Dutton, Kevin Gardner, Watson and Jo Jo Watson all
buying real estate for 2 nd position. Dutton took second in turn 2 while the Watson
Boyz were wheel to wheel for third. Dutton took the helm on lap 6 in turn 2, while
Jordan on the front stretch took second lap 7. Lap 10 Jordan grab the inside line
to take lead in turn 1 but Dutton retook it back in turn 2. At half way Dutton still
leads with Jordan in tow. Matt Hawkins makes a right hand turn into the pits with
some smoke coming from the car on lap 14. Jordan took the lead on lap 15 from
Dutton. Jo Jo would set his sites on Dutton for second but Dutton was too strong
and maintained second place. The heats were won by Dutton and Ryan Riddle.
Jordan said in victory lane “Robert was really great tonight. Charlie moistened the
track backup on intermission just enough. We made some changes and went back
to some old set ups and it worked. I want to thank Brian Hall for letting me drive
the car. Thanks to S R Pete & Sons for all they do for the track and being sponsor
tonight. Thank you to my sponsors Hall’s Construction, Courtland Manor and

Donald Lingo, Jr. Missed Hot Laps But Didn’t Miss The Set Up To Win The S R

Pete & Sons Late Model Feature

Donald Lingo, Jr. attended his little sisters wedding this evening causing him to
miss hot laps and just getting there in time to join the end of the field for heat 2.
In the 20 lap feature Lingo would start 6 th. It was the “Wild Child� Amanda Whaley
who set the pace at the green with Mark Pettyjohn trying to make it his spot for
the lead at the first couple circuits. Whaley maintained the line to hold him off.
Lingo and Pettyjohn were putting on a show as who wanted second place more.
On lap 8 restart Pettyjohn and Lingo touched off turn 4 with Lingo trying to swept
up second but Pettyjohn held his line just as the yellow waves for Kellie Lewis
coming to a stop just past turn2. Once again on the restart the two would rub on
each other on turn 4 causing Pettyjohn to loose some positions. Lap 12 Lingo and
Whaley were dead eye even until Pettyjohn rolls to a stop in turn 4. Whaley
would use the high side while Lingo used the inside line in the turns. Lap 18 the
two were once again even in turns 1 & 2. But the final lap off turn 4 Lingo would
just edge out to claim victory. The heats were won by Kevin Scott, Jr. and Whaley
who turned the fastest lap at 92.836 mph. During the heats in lap 6 Deese car
caught fire. He either had a back up car or changed motors to be in the feature
which I wasn’t able to clarify which, but he started 9 th in the main event.
Lingo in victory lane states “I missed hot laps cause my little sister got married
tonight. Luckily it was just down the road from here. I had her blessing to race
tonight so that made it good. I would like to say we lost a good friend a few weeks
ago and I want to dedicate this win to him, Gordia Warrington. I had not got a win
to do that for him. He meant a lot to us and our team and he will be missed.
Thank you to my sponsors Pizza Palace, Atkins Masonry, Lingo Marie, Inc., Don’s
Tackle Shop and Ralph’s Autocenter.�
