WINCHESTER, Va. (May 22) - On a warm Friday night in Winchester, former track promoter, Doug Timmons, new Three State Flyers series made its first appearance at the Winchester Speedway. 45 Late Models would sign into the pits, a record field for the season. When it was all said and done it was Jamie Lathroum collecting the big money at Winchester. In support division action Mike Bennett took a dominate Pure Stock win, the first repeat winner of the season in the Pure Stock class, Roger Whitlock now has four consecutive wins in the 4-Cylinder division with his win Friday night, and Bo Blomquist was awarded the win in the U-Car class his first checker in the U-Car division.
Jamie Lathroum two weeks ago won his first career win at Winchester, this week saw him take the dash and start from the pole for the 35 lapper. At the green flag Lathroum took the advantage over outside polesitter Booper Bare and would pull ahead leading from the start. Bare would quickly settle into the second position and would go mostly unchallenged early in the event as Lathroum solidified a large lead. The race would be halted only once by a lap 10 caution flag, the running order at the time was Lathroum over Bare, with Gerald Davis, Jeremy Miller, and 10th starting Jason Covert now up in the fifth spot. At the green Lathroum would again pull to the lead, with Bare in tow. Jason Covert would continue his charge as the laps clicked down in fast succession with no one able to catch Lathroum as he ran into lapped traffic. Covert began to run down Bare for second in the final laps and the two would battle side by side with Covert finally getting the second spot with just two laps to go, but Covert's charge had run out of time and Lathroum cruised to his second consecutive win at Winchester Speedway, the Mechanicsville, MD driver has taken eight grand over those two weekends. Behind Lathroum and Covert was Booper Bare, Jeremy Miller was fourth after a race long battle with Gerald Davis who was fifth. Rounding out the top 10 was J.T. Spence, Andy Anderson, Alan Sagi, Gary Stuhler, and Greg Fetters. Heats for the 45 cars signed in went to Gerald Davis, Booper Bare, Alan Sagi, and J.T. Spence. Consilations went to Ronnie DeHaven, Jr. and D.J. Myers, Jamie Lathroum took the Dash. Tommy Armel would get into the event using the track provisional starting 25th but took the hard charger award moving up 14 postions to finish 11th.
