Booger Brooks continued his stranglehold on the Red Clay 602 Late Model Series on Saturday night with his third win in four races in 2019. His latest triumph came at I-75 Raceway (Sweetwater, Tennessee) and was worth $1,500.
On Saturday night the tour would venture out of our normal racing area and head north to I-75 Raceway in Niota, Tennessee. The evening would only see 12 cars signed in for the 2nd Annual Summer Sizzler.
Booger Brooks would set fast time with Colten Jackson picking up the second spot. Jacob Parris, Matt Steward, Jesse Goss and Derek Franks would complete the top 6 and set the stage for the FATBOYRACING Dash for Cash.
Duane Dodson and Brad Thomas would qualify 7th & 8th to set the front row for the first heat. Jason Savage would qualify 9th. David Singleton and Courtney Smith would have there times thrown out after being light at the scales. Pete Cochran would also have his times thrown out after not crossing the scales.
The FATBOYRACING Dash for Cash would see Booger Brooks jump out front and lead flag to flag for the win. Jacob Parris would run 2nd as Colten Jackson would have handling issues getting into turn 1. Jacob Parris would grab the runner up spot followed by Matt Steward, Jesse Goss, Derek Franks and Colten Jackson.
The Anthony Hill Grading Heat Race would be won by Duane Dodson and followed by Jason Savage. Pete Cochran would round out the top 3 after Courtney Smith was light at the scales again. Brad Thomas would salvage a 4th place finish after a first lap incident in turn one. David Singleton would be the fifth place finisher.
Booger Brooks and Jacob Parris would bring the field to the green for the 30 lap feature event. Parris would push getting into turn one and slip back two spots as Jesse Goss would make it 3 wide with Parris and Steward. Steward would edge out Goss down the back stretch to take over 2nd place. Goss would settle into third as Parris would fall in line for 4th. The field would run 11 laps caution free until Derek Franks would come to a stop on the backstretch for mechanical issues. Before the caution came out Steward had gotten to the back bumper of brooks and was looking at pressuring for the lead.
On the restart David Singleton would spin and bring the caution back out. When the field went back green Brooks again jumped out front with a 10-12 car length lead. Steward would start to close in on Brooks in the closing laps but ultimately would run out of laps as Brooks would go on to win his third race of the year.
