IT’S BO FOUST AGAIN AT CONCORD

CONCORD, N.C. – Bo Foust of Harrisburg won his third NASCAR Coca-Cola late model stock feature of the season Saturday night in the 150-lap feature on Red Pig Café Night at Concord Motorsport Park.

Other winners were: Kenneth Cook of Concord in the 35-lap Tommy Johnson’s Motorsports Warehouse limited late model feature; Steve Irvin of Concord in the 25-lap Golden Gait Trailers pure stock feature; Ben Smith of Harrisburg in the 15-lap Speedway Plumbing fast and furious fours feature; and Brad Deal of Mt. Pleasant in the special 10-lap non-winners feature in the fast and furious fours division.

Billy Lemmons of Salisbury led the first 10 laps of the late model stock feature before Brad Kurth of Kernersville motored past. Kurth opened up a sizable advantage until Foust, who started fifth, made it to second and closed the distance on the leader. On lap 75 Foust moved inside Kurth entering turn three and took the top spot. That was all he needed to score the victory over Davin Scites of Mooresville. Point leader Shane Brafford finished third. A pair of drivers from Monroe – Andrew Thomas and Shaun Mangum – completed the top five.

The limited late model feature was very competitive with Jeff Melton of Monroe leading holding the field off for most of the race. On lap 33, Cook was able to move inside the leader and took the top spot, rolling to his second win of the season. Melton maintained the second spot with Ben Hinson of Kannapolis third. Terry Hoggard of Concord was fourth and Mike Terry of Charlotte fifth.

Alton Boyd of Kannapolis paced the pure stock feature for the first nine laps before Irvin, who started sixth, moved past. Irvin was never able to get a comfortable advantage and went on to win the race that ran without a caution flag. Steve Ackerly of Monroe finished second with Chad Allmon of Mt. Pleasant third. Boyd was fourth with Charlotte Hutto of Monroe completing the top five.

Like the pure stocks, the fast and furious four feature went flag-to-flag with no cautions and Smith led the entire distance. It was his fifth win of the season aboard his call titled “Sleepy”. Jeff Smith of Stanfield was second with Brad Deal of Mt. Pleasant third. Deal also scored the victory in the special 10-lap “non-winners” race for the fast and furious four drivers.

Racing returns Saturday night with Craftsman Night featuring the four weekly divisions at the speedway plus the thunder roadsters. Also, the fast and furious four drivers will take part in a special autograph session.
