CHRIS CLYNE WINS SUPER LATE MODEL CHAMPIONSHIP AT THE FALL CLASSIC AT THE BULLRING

LAS VEGAS, Nevada--Chris Clyne of Las Vegas dominated the Super Late Model Championship at the Fall Classic at the Bullring at Las Vegas Motor Speedway Saturday night.

Clyne was the fastest qualifier and started the 140-lap feature on the pole. Clyne pulled away from the field. Scott Gafforini was in third place but suffered misfortune when his power steering went out on lap 48 and to pull off. He reentered the race on lap 60. Taylor Barton experienced the same luck and had to pull of on lap 57. He was running second at the time. Mike Cofer was involved in a small pile-up and was sent to the rear of the field. Clyne maintained the lead through the mandatory midway break and to the checkered flag. Nathan Wulff finished second followed by Ron Overman and Bob Wickey.

“We have had such bad luck at Irwindale this season and this is just great,” said Clyne. “I started to lose my power steering with about 15 laps left and was praying that it would last for the remainder of the race. This was awesome.”

Justin Johnson of Las Vegas won the Late Model Championship. Chris Carmody of Valencia, Calif. was the fastest qualifier on Friday and started the 100-lap Late Model feature on the pole. Carmody and Dustin Ash took command of the 26-car field. Carmody was challenged early by Ash. Ash made his move for the lead position on lap 40 and maintained it until Justin Johnson took the lead on lap 80. The three-car train of Johnson, Ash and Carmody pulled away from the rest of the field. Johnson built a substantial lead and drove the No. 17 Best Auto Transmissions Late Model to victory lane. Dustin Ash finished second followed by Chris Carmody and Todd Burns.

“This has been a long time coming,” said Johnson. “I haven’t been in this victory lane since I was 13 or 14-years-old. I want to thank all of my sponsors including Chuck Trickle for giving me a great ride. I appreciate every bit of it.”

Michael Hale of West Valley City, Utah started on the pole of the 50-lap IMCA Modified A-Feature. Hale quickly took command and led the entire race taking the checkered flag. Finishing second was Don Williams followed by Dean Kuhn and Mark Ith.

“We’ve had a really rough season,” said Hale. “We wrecked our good car but we figured we would come out and try this one. I would like to thank everyone that has been helping

Gary Wyatt of Las Vegas started on the pole of the 20-lap Bombers Feature after winning the second Preliminary Feature Friday night. Wyatt led the first 13 laps and was then passed by Joe Crouch. Crouch of St. George, Utah led the remainder of the race taking the checkered flag. Marvin Redder finished second followed by Wyatt and Larry Dittman.

“This thing was like a rocket ship tonight,” said Crouch. “All of my sponsors make it possible for me to come out and race and I want to thank them for that.”
