RKMC Media
MARKLEYSBURG, PA (September 9) - Roaring Knob Motorsports Complex had to use it’s Sunday rain date for the 15th running of the King of the Knob. After a 1 hour rain delay, Mechanicsville, MD’s Jamie Lathroum came out on top of a see saw battle with Jason Covert to win this race for second time. His other win came in 2010. Mike Pegher, Jr. went unchallenged in winning the High Gear Speed Shop FASTRAK Late Model feature.

Jamie Lathroum performed the trifecta by setting fast time, winning his heat and then capturing the 15th running of the “King of the Knob” over a steller 46 car field. At the drop of the green it was Charleston, WV’s Zach Dohm taking the lead. Dohm looked fast as he opened up a slight lead. Dohm held the lead for the first sixteen laps while eighth starting Lathroum worked his way to the front taking the lead on lap 17. Five cautions would slow the event including one on lap 21 for a slowing Jared Miley. On the restart Dohm once again took the lead back with Lathroum on his tail closely followed by Gregg Satterlee and tenth starting Jared Hawkins. Scott Rhodes make it a five car blanket. Lathroum wasted little time and took the lead back on lap 23 and started to pull away.

Lapped traffic closed the field back up. Side by side racing allowed Jason Covert to reel the five in and become a factor. Covert moved into the top five on lap 30. For over ten laps Covert and Dohm went door to door before Covert grabbed second on lap 43. One lap later Covert took over the top spot for three laps. Then as Lathroum led laps 46 and 47, lap 48 found Covert back out front and then the final caution of the day flew for third and fourth running Gregg Satterlee and Jared Hawkins. The pair got together entering turn three with both spinning and out of contention.

The green flew for the final time with seven laps remaining. Covert took off on the start and Lathroum chased him. Heading in to turn three Lathroum shot low and went for the slide job in turn four. As he came up in front of Covert they hit with Lathroum back out in front. Covert recovered and hauled the #6 back in staying glued to his back bumper. Lap 54 saw Covert looking to set up an outside pass coming out off turn four. The final lap saw the pair running nose to tail and Dohm right there in third ready to pounce. Covert appeared to be pushing Lathroum across the line with his steering breaking as the checker flew. Lathroum pulled off his second win in the “King of the Knob” earning $5000 for his efforts. Covert was second over Dohm, Tim Senic, Corey Conley, Mason Zeigler (from 21st), Scott Rhodes, Ron Delano, Jr., Devin Friese and Jerry Bard. Scoring the heat wins were Lathroum, Satterlee, Covert and Senic. Shane Hitt and Tyler Hershey won the two B-Mains.
