26th, 2010 - Chad Valone Super Late Model King of the Hill and
Shults Nissan Feature Winner
at Stateline Speedway
By Glenn Slocum
Busti, NY: 2010 Super Late Champ Chad Valone won
the King of the Hill qualifying to sit on the front row for their feature event
in the Shults Nissan sponsored event. Valone went on to lead every lap of the
feature event for a perfect night of racing.
Matt Harvey led from green to checkers surviving
several cautions for his second win in the Spectator division.
Kelly Frederes continued his dominance in the Outlaw
Cadet division winning his fifth feature and extending his point lead.
Brian Fardink won his career first E-Mod feature at
Stateline in a wreck strewn event.
Ben Burgess Jr. cruised to his third feature win in
the Super Sportsman feature.
Jeff Lamb won the first Super Challenger feature his
first of the season and Tracy Paxton won the second also his first of the
season.
David
Scott and Chad Valone made up row number one for the Super Late Model feature.
Scott Johnson and Ryan Scott were in row two followed by Scott Gurdak and Bump
Hedman. Valone led the first circuit with Scott close behind. Johnson ran third
followed by Gurdak and Dick Barton. By lap 4 Valone was just getting into lap
traffic and Chuck Supplee lost the handle for the first caution. Just one more
lap was completed when the second caution occurred for Supplee on the back
stretch and Dereck Frank in turn three. Johnson was second for the restart with
Scott third and Barton fourth. Chris Hackett was fighting Gurdak for fifth. With
10 laps complete Valone led Johnson by nearly half a straight. Randy Lobb
brought the third caution with a spin between turns one and two with twelve of
the twenty-five laps complete. Valone, Johnson, Scott, Barton and Hackett
remained the top five. Valone immediately began rebuilding his lost lead after
the restart then on lap seventeen Johnson came alive and began closing the gap.
Johnson was able to get a fender alongside the leader then with just two laps
remaining Andy Boozel got into the front stretch wall for the fourth caution.
Valone hung on through the final two laps surviving a challenge by Johnson for
his first win of the season.
Matt
Harvey used his pole starting spot to good advantage leading the first two laps
before the yellow flew for Ben Asel. Harvey, Kevin Hill, and Brian Wilson were
the leaders. Aaron Dascomb did a spin an go but the yellow flew for the second
time on lap four. Wilson had lost several spots with a near spin on lap three so
Harvey, Hill and Kevin Golden were the leaders. The fourth yellow fell on the
restart this time for Nathan Earle and Wilson. Bryan Johnson climbed the back
stretch fence the slowed with right front flat for caution five with six laps
complete. Dascomb made an appearance in the top three on the restart then one
lap later grabbed second from Hill as the half way signal was given. Nick Mohawk
and Jason Covey tangled on lap nine for the sixth yellow. The next five laps ran
under green then Sam Courson spun for yellow seven with two laps to go. The
white flew followed by the yellow for Crull stopped high in turn three. Harvey
won the one lap dash to the finish for his second win of the season.
Kelly
Frederes took the early lead in the Outlaw Cadet feature with Brian Crandall
second and Bob Vogt third. Frederes looked unbeatable as the field stacked up
behind Crandall. Chad Carlson broke the log jam followed by Steve Moynihan and
Steve Kania but not before Frederes had a half a lap advantage. With just three
laps remaining debris on the speedway, parts for Troy Dorman’s car, brought out
the only caution of the event allowing the field to close with Frederes. Carlson
was able to run alongside Frederes but at the checkers it was Frederes by a car
length.
A
six car pileup marred the second lap of the E-Mod Feature. Mark Gilbert was the
leader with Greg Johnson second. Anthony Marotto and Shane Crotty tangled on lap
three for the second caution. Gilbert spun while leading but kept going then a
few seconds later Mike McGee went around for caution three. Johnson, Dave
Shagla, Alex Froman and Troy Carr were the restart leaders. Froman and Carr
caused the next yellow with four laps complete. Johnson and Shagla were still on
top with Ron Seeley third, Brian Fardink fourth and Justin Carlson fifth. Shagla
did a half spin and every one cleared except Rich Michael Jr. for yellow number
five. Two laps were completed then yellow six as McGee and Carr spun. The leader
had problems on lap nine spinning in front of the field for yellow seven.
Johnson went into the pits during the yellow turning the lead over to Brian
Fardink with Shagla second and Gurdak third. The final caution occurred right
after the two to go signal for a McGee spin in turn one. Gurdak charged by
Shagla to grab second on the white flag lap but could not catch Fardink as he
cruised to his first win of the season and his first E-Mod win at Stateline.
Ben
Reed led lap one of the Super Sportsman feature then gave way to Ben Burgess Jr.
on lap two. Joe Buccola Jr. was third followed by John Boardman. First Buccola
then Boardman passed Reed to attempt to run down the high flying Burgess. Wade
Watson stopped next to the turn four wall for the first caution with eight laps
complete. A spin by John Volpe with three laps remaining did not bring out the
caution as Volpe recovered and kept moving. Burgess cruised to the win his third
of the season.
