Mark Day Takes Late Model Victory in Front of a Huge Crowd at the Motorplex NASHVILLE, TN – After taking the past three weeks off from racing, the fans packed the grandstands for the return of NASCAR short track racing at the Fairgrounds Music City Motorplex on 103 KDF and Ken Binkley Signs Night September 22. With almost all of the point’s championships still up for grabs the drivers put on a great show for the nearly packed grandstands. Josh Weston and Josh Adams brought the field of DryGDSI.com Late Models down to take the green flag for the one-hundred lap feature. Adams jumped out in front with Mark Day, Weston, Michael Driskell and Todd Morris on his rear bumper. Josh Byrns brought out the first caution of the night for his hard contact with the turn four outside wall. Luckily Byrns walked away unhurt. Adams remained out front on the restart with Day challenging for the lead. Day suffered a mechanical problem briefly dropping back to the fourth position, but Day’s problems were only brief and immediately began taking back the positions. Dylan Thompson and Josh Weston got together on lap fifty-five sending both cars spinning in turn four resulting in the second caution of the night. On the restart, Shacklett went spinning into the inside wall bringing out another caution. Adams visited pit road during the caution, surrendering the lead to Day. Day led on the restart followed by Blake Williams, Morris, Mark Montgomery, Driskell and Adams. TW Fisher spun on lap ninety-four bringing out a caution and a six lap shoot-out for the checkereds. On the restart Williams jumped to the bottom of Day and the two made contact sending both cars high on the track. Adams took full advantage and dove below to both of them just before Morris went hard into the outside wall of turn two bringing out another caution. Although Morris made hard impact, he walked away unhurt. Once the race got back underway, Day lead the way and held on to pick up his ninth win of 2007. Adams finished second followed by Williams, Driskell and Montgomery. Going into the final point’s race of the season, Adams leads Day by only thirty-nine points.
