Zack Dohm Dazzles to Win in 12th Annual Iron-Man Classic at Richmond Raceway

By Michael Despain

Richmond, KY (June 25, 2016)- The Southern Nationals Bonus Series and Iron-Man Mountain Championship Series would co-sanction the 12th Annual Iron-Man Classic at Richmond Raceway on Saturday and second-generation racer Zack Dohm of Cross Lanes, WV would “park it” in victory lane and claim the $10,050 payday for the event win.

Jackie Boggs would take the lead at the start of the 60 lap, $10,050 to win 12th Annual Iron-Man Classic, but Jason Jameson and Michael Chilton would immediately begin to apply pressure with a three-wide battle taking place that would eventually see Chilton go to the top spot on lap 10, while Boggs and Jameson continued to duel, only now for the second position. However, Chilton’s spot at the front would be short-lived as he would be the cause of the first caution of the race with 17 laps completed when he would slow in turn four with left-front suspension damage after contact with a slower car in traffic and contact with the tire barrier that keeps the cars out of the infield. This would put Boggs back to the point and after a trio of quick cautions, the battle for the lead really heated up as Boggs and Jameson would battle for the lead and Scott James would close in on that pair.

Lap 30 would see the lead duo start a series of slide-job volleys that would see Boggs lead lap 31 and Jameson lead lap 32, only to have caution inches in front at the conclusion of lap 33, but disaster would strike as Boggs and Jameson would make contact entering turn one and Jameson would spin up the track and James would contact Jameson as well. Jameson would pull to the work area with a flat tire and James would pull pitside for the night and leader Boggs would pull to the work area with a flat tire. During this caution, several drivers would go to the work area to replace flat tires caused from debris in turn one. This turn of events would see 14th place starting Donald McIntosh, who had charged his way to fourth, inherit the race lead.

With McIntosh in command, 13th starting Zack Dohm would methodically charge his way to second and the duo of McIntosh and Dohm would battle side by side for the lead from laps 40 to 45 before Dohm would take the top spot on lap 46. As Dohm pulled away, Greg Johnson would get by McIntosh for second on lap 55, but could not catch Dohm as he would pick up the victory in only his second-ever appearance at Richmond Raceway in the Dohm Cycles/Melvin’s Transmission/Hoosier by Todd Fryer/Poske’s Performance Parts sponsored #115 MasterSbilt Race Car with a Vic Hill Race Engine. Johnson and McIntosh would complete the podium finishers, while Boggs and Jameson would recover to complete the top five. The remainder of the top ten were Duane Chamberlain, Justin Rattliff, Todd Coffman, Kye Blight, and David Payne. Thirty-five entries would see Jameson as the FK Rod Ends top qualifier at 15.394 seconds. Heat wins would go to Boggs, Chilton, Jameson, and James. Payne and Derek Fisher would win the B-Mains, while series provisional starting spots went to Doug Smith and Steve Stollings, with track provisional spots going to Johnny Wheeler and Chris Ruble.

The Iron-Man Mountain Championship will return to action on Friday Night July 1st at the Volunteer Speedway in Bulls Gap, Tenn. for the Fourth Annual Scott Sexton Memorial paying $3,052-to-win then Saturday Night July 2nd at Tazewell (Tenn.) Speedway for the Firecracker 40 presented by Claiborne Marine, a $5,000-to-win race.
