Cleveland, TN (8/08/15) --- Good hard “In Your Face” racing line the nights sky Saturday at Cleveland Speedway as the regular points season continues to wind down. In a points system where every “win” counts, Late Model hometown racing veteran Lamar Scoggins showed he was back and a force to be reckoned with by dominating the 25 lap feature in his #32 “Campbell Insulation Specialist, East TN Auto Outlet, M&S Motors, Chambers Equipment Sales” sponsored GRT. The win all but locks Scoggins into the Top 10 for the Dirt Cup Chase in September and October despite his lifelong best-friend “Lil” John Ownbey’s stranglehold on the division as the points leader. Ownbey kept the pressure on Scoggins and a back-marker car made turn four of the last lap interesting. Jerry Coffman finished third after collecting two wins out of the last three races. Coffman was the nights fast qualifier by one / one-thousandths of a second against the 21-car field. The field was distorted when the seasons worst crash happened when Jarrett Choatte and Roger (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)son got together sending Matt Steward up the back stretch wall. Steward was unscaved but was done for the night. Heath Hindman and Paul Tims rounded out the Late Model feature Top 5.
Brandon Stanfield of Soddy Daisy knows “wins” are very important as he collected his 5th of the season worth $400. Stanfield’s closest competitor in points Robbie Greene rallied to finish second on a last lap pass of David Goode. Charles Shook and Mitch Brady Jr rounded out the Top 5. In the B-Hobby and Crate the Brooks’ (from Chattanooga) did it again winning on the same night, just like they did last weekend. Jimmy Smith debuted his new B-Hobby car in second with Ricky Wagner returning to finish third. Richard Dixon and Jason Emasher rounded out the Top 5. Behind Booger in the Crate feature was Craig Burrows, Drew Deaver, A.J. Carlissi and David Doss. The Road Warriors was won by Jeff Bates.of Cleveland. Cleveland Speedway and the Tindall and Sons Carpet 2-Seater Late Model gave fans a Ride of a Lifetime during the nights action. A new Fall schedule of Saturday night racing at Cleveland Speedway is being released this week as racing continues for all classes next Saturday 8/15 at 8PM EST. The tracks official web-site is www.ClevelandSpeedwayLLC.com and that location is where the updated information can be obtained.
