SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (August 29) - The Late Model Season championships would be decided tonight with point leader Jeremy Manes and Sundance Keepper bringing the field to the green with Keepper taking the early lead with Manes and Show-Me Series leader Justin Wells following closely. On lap 3, Wells how won last week at Springfield made the high groove pass around Keepper took over the top spot as Chris Morelock followed into the third place position. Caution waved on lap 5 as Mark Penticuff, Kevin Henson, Jon Driskell and Bill McMurtrie got together in turn 2. Only Penticuff would continue. On the restart Keepper applied pressure to the fast moving Wells as Jordan Holloway was the fast moving driver coming from the rear of the field. Wells started to slowly put distance between himself and Keepper and Morelock, Manes, Holloway were battling. The 2nd and final caution waved on lap 16 for Randy Galloway and Kevin Brown. Brown would retire and Galloway continued. On the restart, Keepper picked the low lane on the double-file restart but Wells proved to strong taking the victory with Keepper, a fast moving Holloway, Morelock and Chris Deaton following. Jeremy Manes captured the Late Model season championship his first in stockcar racing and it was 10 years ago to the date where Manes took a go-karting title at Springfield.
