4.16.21 Potomac Speedway Results
April 16, 2021 Budds Creek, MD- Fresh off his Georgetown (DE) Speedway win on Thursday night, Winchester Va’s Kyle Hardy drove to a thrilling win in round two of the “Battle of the Bay” RUSH Dirt Late Model Series Friday at Potomac Speedway. Hardy’s win, worth $3000, came in his family owned Rocket no.99 and would be his 5th win overall in 2021 and his first career RUSH triumph at Potomac.
Former Potomac RUSH champion Logan Roberson darted from the pole and appeared to have the car to beat as he effortlessly lead a majority of the the 30-lap event. As Roberson lead, Kyle Hardy emerged in second on the 25th lap and went after Roberson. The final lap of the feature had the fans on their feet as Hardy caught Roberson and as the duo raced into turn three, contact was made with Hardy surviving to take the win with Roberson second. “This has been a great season so far for us.” Hardy stated in victory lane. “I know Logan is probably upset with me, but with $3000 on the line we had to try something.” Hardy gave his view on the move that won him the race. “The line into three got cleaned and polished and I could just roll through.” Said Hardy. “He (Roberson) was just dead stopped and I got to him at the exact time and unfortunately we got together.” Max Blair was third with Matt Quade and the Jeremy Wonderling completing the top five. Heats for the 44 entries went to Max Blair, Logan Roberson, Kyle Hardy, Ben Scott, Walker Arthur and Jeremy Wonderling. Triple B-Mains went to Levi Crowl, Darrell Bossard and Joe Martin.
In support class action, PJ Hatcher rolled to his 10th consecutive and third win of the season in the 15-lap Street Stock feature. Potomac management has now placed a bounty of $200 to any division driver who can beat Hatcher in a feature while he is still on the track. Colin Long became the third different winner of the three week old season with his victory in the 15-Lap Hobby Stock main with Dominic King collecting his second win in a row in the 15-lap U Car nightcap.
