William Thomas Tops NeSmith Action in Gumbo Nationals Finale

by Ben Shelton
PHENIX CITY, Alabama (October 9) - It was just another weekend, where William Thomas continued his winning ways as he piloted his #A19 Alexander's Industrial Services/GRT Late Model to his tenth win of the 2013 season with a $5,000 triumph in the 7th Annual Gumbo Nationals finale at Greenville Speedway (Greenville, Mississippi)!

Thirty-six entries were on hand for the event, and after blazing to fast time honors with a 15.952 second lap around the 1/4 mile oval on Friday evening William scored his heat race win to lock into the pole position for Saturday night's 50 lap finale. However, before the feature could be contested on Saturday heavy rain arrived, pushing the finale to Sunday afternoon.

On Sunday when action finally commenced, Thomas was joined on the front row by Johnny Stokes, and as the feature went green it was Stokes, who bolted to the lead with Thomas in tow. William stalked the leader during the race's early laps before taking over control of the top spot on lap 6. Once out front Thomas never looked back en route to his tenth win of the season. He was followed across the finish line by Johnny Stokes, Chase Washington, Ronnie Johnson, and Tait Davenport.

Thomas also competed in the Super Late Model division with the Mississippi State Championship Challenge Series (MSCCS) and would go on to race his way to an 11th place finish in the $7,500 fi nale on Saturday night.

Full results from both divisions are available at www.NeSmithRacing.com and www.StateSeries.com .

This Saturday October 12th William will carry his point's lead in the Chevrolet Performance Super Late Model Series into Talladega Short Track (Eastaboga, Alabama) as a $5,000-to-win event is contested at the "Hornet's Nest"! For more information on the event please visit www.525SuperSeries.com .
