Cleveland, TN (4/20/2013) --- A beautiful Saturday was in-store for racefans as the Cleveland Speedway hosted Ray Cook’s Spring Nationals Super Late Model series for a $5,000 to-WIN / 50 lap event. In a repeat finish from March’s ShamRock event, Randy THE DREAM Weaver (# 116) of Crossville, TN strew his web of victory after early race leader Skip Arp yielded to mechanical problems on lap # 17. With pole sitter Weaver in his "Stone Lawn Cleaning & Landscaping, A.F. Stone Professional Medical Services, Precision Trailer Parts & Service, The Bailey Co., Pipes by Outlaw, FuelSafe" sponsored Cornett Thunder powered, By: Weaver GRT inheriting the lead, Derek Ellis, Mike Marlar and Billy Ogle Jr. went at it for the remaining 30+ circuits tracking the leader by over 10-cars lengths at times. At the races conclusion Marlar and Ogle got by Ellis and again just like the ShamRock followed Weaver to victory.
Weaver was fast time over the 25-car fiels with a 13.546 second lap. A pair of heat races were contested and won by Indiana’s Steve Casebolt and North Carolina’s Shawn Chastain. Third in points David Payne suffered a broken rear end in his heat race, a piloted Sammie Russell's car in the feature to maintain his points stature. A four car pile-up slowed the race on lap 4, when Ryan King collected Bryan Hendricks, Jeff Franklin and Hunter Peac0ck on the front straight-away. The locked-in Top-4 from Group-A were Weaver, Marlar, Ogle and local racer Riley Hickman The Top-4 from Group-B were Arp, Ellis, Stacy Boles and Mark Vineyard.
In other racing action a pair of A-1 Towing racecars made it to victory lane… Rick Hixson (# A-1) of Soddy Daisy, TN won the LLM Steel-head feature and teammate Lamar Scoggins (# A-1) of Georgetown, TN won the Crate LM feature. Peebo Glen Seaton III (# 2) of Cleveland, TN won the A-Hobby, Dallas Brooks (# 45) of Chattanooga, TN won the B-Hobby and E.J Bailey (# 52) of Chattanooga, TN took the Pony/FWD feature. The track debuted a new Dodge Ram Pace Truck courtesy of Crown Cars of Cleveland. Full results will follow later on the tracks web-site www.clevelandspeedway.com.
