• For Immediate Release
LAKE VIEW, SC (August 17) – Mt. Olive, SC’s Michael Marlowe grabbed the lead at the drop of the green flag and led the rest of the way for his first Late Model win of the season Saturday night at Lake View Motor Speedway.
After qualifying on the pole position, Marlowe grabbed the lead at the drop of the green flag from Bradley McCaskill. The first caution of the race waved on lap two when David Fischer spun in turn two and ended up on the turn two berm. Woody Cromartie suffered a similar fate on the opposite end of the speedway when he got into the berm in turn four on lap eight. Marlowe held McCaskill off the rest of the way for the win followed by Johnny Pridgen, Zach Cox, and David Baker.
The Street Stocks again proved to be the race of the night with Cameron Holloway capturing his long awaited first win of the season. Holloway grabbed the lead at the start with Cameron Norris, IV quickly moving up from fourth to second. The first caution of the race waved on lap two when John Cagle spun in turn two. Blaise Bryant and Mike Manes had a heated battle for third resulting in contact between the two in turn three on lap five. Six laps later, they got together again in turn one with Bryant again spinning. Holloway led the rest of the way for the win over Norris, Bryant, Andrew Register, and Mason Ford.
Mike Bowman led flag-to-flag and held off Kyle Whitney for his third Modified win of the season. The only caution of the race waved with two laps to go win Sonny Cox spun in turn two. Following Bowman and Whitney to the finish line were Cameron Norris, IV, Jason Floyd, and Jeff Tiley.
Tom Lovett took advantage of Derek Kemper’s misfortune and led the rest of the way for the Fred’s Tire & Auto Stock V8 win. Kemper led from the start, but spun in turn four with eight laps to go. Kemper would rebound to finish second over Ed Mason, Chip Fenoff, and Anthony Morris.
Collin Brown took the lead with seven laps to go for his fourth Morrisonbuilt Performance SCDRA Sport Compact win of the season. Jerry Johnson took the lead at the start from polesitter Jason Brown. J Brown would have to pit with a flat right front tire on lap two after hitting the berm. Johnson led until there were seven laps to go when he spun on the front stretch after a mechanical problem. C Brown took the win over J Brown, Kyle Jenks, Chelsey Richardson, and Patrick Duchaine.
The next event at Lake View Motor Speedway will be next Saturday night, August 24 and will feature the Modifieds racing for $1,500 to win in the Ginger Billy Special.
