LAKEVILLE, Ohio (July 12) - The American Payroll Advance Lakeville Late Model feature was one of not only some great racing,but one of great disappointment at the end for Kristin Flory who actually crossed the finish line ahead of her husband Jason Flory who followed her to the checkered in second place.Jason had taken the green flag from the outside of the front row and scooted to the lead right away with Benny Lester moving into the runner up spot.Jason opened up a sizable lead over Lester as Matt Irey,Mike Lonas and points leader Clint Coffman was battling for position.On lap nine the field was slowed for a caution flag for Coby Bartrum as he rolled to a stop off of turn four. In the next seven laps,Kristin was working very hard and had mounted a charge from her sixth starting spot and raced side by side with Lester for the runner up spot while Lonas and Irey duplicated the ecitement further back in the pack.On lap sixteen,Kristin made the move on Lester and shot to the second running spot behind her husband who had stayed at the lead for the entire event.When the nineteenth lap was recorded,Kristin made the move on her husband as he began to experience a handling concern with a tire loosing air and she was able to overtake him for the lead.Jason was able to stay on her rear bumper,but could not take the lead back from her and she crossed the finish line first. The disappointment that was written on the first line of this paragraph became a reality when Kristin did not present her Late Model to the technical inspection area for post race inspection and weighing and was disqualified for that infraction. Jason Flory was declared the winner and recorded his second win of the year in his McElvain Trucking,Rays Garage and Donnie Moran Racing sponsored entry.Finishing second was Lester,followed by Lonas,Irey and Coffman.Heat wins were won by Jason Flory and Matt Irey.
The New Lakeville Speedway will be back in action next friday night July 18th with all seven divisions in action. Stay up to speed with all the action and news at www.lakevillespeedway.com
