DANVILLE, Ill. (May 15) - Bobby Dauderman had done it so many times before - just never at Pierces Vermilion County Speedway.
The 2009 UMP Pro Late Model National Champion bided his time, worked the high groove and caught race-long leader Bobby Pierce with five laps to go Saturday evening. He then pulled away for the win in the Linne Machine Pro Spectacular for the crate engine cars.
"The high side was working as the low side was rubbering up," Dauderman said in Toyota of Danville Victory Lane. "We were fortunate to catch Bobby Pierce. He ran a great race."
Pierce, Oakwood, Ill., took the lead from the pole and led the first 35 laps. Dauderman, Alhambra, Ill., was stagnant around fifth place for the opening laps after starting sixth and then began to move through the field. He then picked off Illinois state point leader Nick Bauman and Springfield teen Joseph Hughs to take third on Lap 12. When he used the high groove to get by Randy Shuman four laps later he found himself about a straightaway behind the 14-year old Pierce.
Only three cautions flew in the 40-lap event. The final set up a two-lap dash, but Pierce could not get by a lapped car and Dauderman picked up the $1,250 first prize.
"I was hoping we could hold him off on that last (caution)," Dauderman said. "We were happy to be here and get the win."
Shuman, Bauman and Lebanon's Casey Montague completed the Top 5.
Nick Allen, Wheatfield, Ind., dominated the UMP Modifieds. He led all 25 laps in the feature after setting fast time and winning his heat. That was fresh off a win the night before at Kankakee, Ill.
In the Sportsman, Steve Peeden, Paragon, Ind., won the 15-lap make up feature from the May 1 rain out. Scott Hufford, Danville, won the regular feature.
Three-time UMP Street Stock National Champion Jerrad Krick, Earl Park, Ind., took that main. Jason Maier made his first trip to PVCS pay off by winning the Hornet feature over his brother Matt.
PVCS welcomes back the UMP Monster Midwest Late Model Series Sunday May 23. The UMP Modifieds, Sportsman, Pure Stocks and Hornets are also slated. For more information, log on to piercesvermilioncountyspeedway.com.
