NeSmith Chevrolet Dirt Late Model Series News Release: Contact – ROBY HELM – (865) 207-4157
October 17, 2009
BOLAND TAKES THIRD NeSMITH CHEVROLET DLMS WIN AT SMS; COOLEY IS THE CHAMP
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
GULFPORT, MS – Mike Boland of Cuba, AL scored his third NeSmith Chevrolet Dirt Late Model Series National Touring victory of the season on Saturday night by winning the Topless Fall Nationals 50 at South Mississippi Speedway. Boland took the lead from Larry Boutwell of Baker, FL on lap 21, survived a tangle with a lapped car under caution, and took the win by six car lengths in The Strength Center Trak-Star.
Eric Cooley of Fulton, MS was crowned the 2009 NeSmith Chevrolet Dirt Late Model Series National Champion, and will receive a $20,000 check at the NeSmith Chevrolet DLMS Awards Banquet on December 9 at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Tampa, FL. The 18-year-old driver became the youngest National Champion in dirt late model history.
“This has been a dream come true for our whole team,” Cooley said. “We have all learned a lot running this series by racing with a lot of talented experienced drivers, and going to a lot of different types of tracks. We have learned how to make adjustments on these cars and adapting to different track conditions on the fly.”
The $2,500 win moved Boland from 13th in the NeSmith Chevrolet Dirt Late Model Series National point standings to ninth-place. Boland will pick up a check for $1,500 at the series’ Awards Banquet. Boland tied Justin McRee of Woodstock, AL for the ninth spot, but the tie-breaker was the number of wins. Boland had three and McRee had two.
Boland challenged Boutwell first by running the high side of the quarter-mile dirt oval, running side-by-side until a lap 20 caution flag slowed the field. Everyone, including Boutwell, thought Boland would go back upstairs for the restart, but when the green flag came out, Boland dove for the bottom of the track, got inside Boutwell, and made the pass for the lead coming off the fourth turn.
After Boland took the lead, the caution flag came out on lap 34, and the race leader dodged a big bullet as the field slowed. The lapped car of J.D. Pass of Brandon, MS spun in turn four right in front of Boland, who hit the side of the Resitol Hats Trak-Star. Boland’s car suffered damage in the front end, pushing up the nose piece of the car.
“With the nose piece pointing up in the air, my car developed a big push after the restart,” Boland said. “I switched to three-wheel brakes, and that helped the car get through the corners. The track was real racy tonight, a lot better than last night, as we could run high or low. I wanted to cover the bottom, and if Boutwell was going to beat me, he would have had to do it on the outside.”
Boutwell finished second in the McLeod Construction Rocket and was the McLeod Construction Fast Qualifier with a lap in 15.537 seconds. Boutwell finished second in the series point standings, and will pick up a check for $7,000 at the series Awards Banquet.
Cooley capped off his title run with a third-place showing in the 78 Towing and Recovery Victory Circle. Ronnie Johnson of Chattanooga, TN took the fourth spot in the Miller Brothers Coal Warrior.
Joseph Joiner of Milton, FL was fifth in the Joiner Racing GRT and the 15-year-old driver took the Race Car Engineering Fifth-Place Award. Shannon Lee of Lumberton, MS finished sixth in the Billy Riels Racing Trak-Star, and Ricky Idom of Hattiesburg, MS was seventh in the Ricky’s Performance Parts DWB.
Derrick Rainey of Powder Springs, GA started 15th and finished eighth in the Hays Family Racing/Barto Enterprises Warrior to take the GM Performance Parts Hard Charger of the Race Award, and the Race Car Engineering Eighth-Place Award. Rainey took the fourth spot in the National point standings, and earned $4,500 out of the $50,000 point fund.
Chase Washington of Houlka, MS finished ninth in the Jerry Inmon Race Cars GRT to earn the Sunoco Race Fuels Rookie of the Race Award, and the Maximum Signs Ninth-Place Award. Washington finished sixth in the National point standings, worth $3,000 at the Awards Banquet. Friday night winner Michael Blount of Sumrall, MS rounded out the top ten in the Lamar Auto Salvage Trak-Star.
Ben McCreary of Baldwyn, MS took the 2009 Sunoco Race Fuels Rookie of the Year Award driving the Waddle Trucking Mastersbilt, and will pick up a $5,000 check at the NeSmith Chevrolet DLMS Awards Banquet. McCreary also finished fifth in the season point standings that will bring his post-season awards total to $8,500.
Boutwell took the lead at the drop of the green flag at the start of the race from the pole position followed by Matthew Turner of Dawsonville, GA in the Turner Excavating DWB, Cooley, Boland, and Joiner. Cooley, Boland and Joiner had a tight battle going on for the third spot, while Boutwell and Turner pulled away.
Joiner and Boland passed Cooley on lap three to take over the third and fourth spots respectively. Boutwell began to encounter the cars on the tail of the lead lap by the sixth lap, but the caution flag came out on lap seven when Cliff Williams of Star, MS in the Ware Construction Trak-Star got into the back of Johnson in turn three causing him to spin.
The caution was charged to Williams, and Johnson restarted in the sixth spot behind Boutwell, Turner, Joiner, Boland, and Cooley. Boland dusted off the outside groove on the restart, and passed Joiner for the third spot coming off the fourth turn after the restart. Boland again took the outside on a lap 15 restart to pass Turner for the second spot.
Boland chased down Boutwell on lap 16, went to the outside, and the top two cars raced side-by-side for three laps until a caution flag came out on lap 20 for a turn four spin by Noah Daspit in the Billy Riels Racing GRT. On the restart, Boland fooled everyone by going to the inside, and raced Boutwell for the lead side-by-side until taking the lead coming off the fourth turn.
At the halfway point of the 50-lap race, Boland led Boutwell, Turner, Joiner, Cooley, Johnson, Lee, Idom, Blount and Washington. Cooley went to the outside to pass Joiner for the fourth spot after a lap 26 restart.
Turner spun out of the third spot on lap 34 in turn two to bring out the caution flag, which earned Turner the Dominator Race Products Hard Luck Award. Turner came back to finish 12th, and finished third in the National Point standings, worth $5,000 out of the series point fund.
It was during this caution period that Pass spun in turn four and collected Boland. When the field lined up for the restart, Boland led Boutwell, Cooley, Joiner, Johnson, Lee, Idom, Washington, Blount, and Rainey. After the field went back to green flag action, Johnson got by Joiner for the fourth spot on lap 40.
In the last ten laps of the race, Boland was able to keep Boutwell behind him, and took the checkered flag with a six car-length advantage to collect his third win of the season. In preliminary action, the two ten-lap heat races were won by Joiner and Williams. Jeremy Idom of Hattiesburg, MS won the 12-lap B-Main race driving the Talley Painting DWB.
With the 2009 NeSmith Chevrolet Dirt Late Model Series National points season completed, the series will now begin a run of non-points races beginning with the $10,000-to-win Red Top Auto Auctions Dega 100 Presented By Hoosier Tire this Thursday, Friday and Saturday at Talladega Short Track in Eastaboga, AL.

BLOUNT TAKES NeSMITH CHEVROLET DLMS UPSET WIN AT SOUTH MISSISSIPPI
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
GULFPORT, MS – Michael Blount of Sumrall, MS drove the Lamar Auto Salvage Trak-Star to an upset win on Friday night at South Mississippi Speedway in the Topless Fall Nationals 40 for the NeSmith Chevrolet Dirt Late Model Series National Tour. Blount started second, took the lead on lap one, and led all 40 laps to take the victory.
“I’ve won some big Modified races, but this is the biggest late model win of my career,” Blount said. “This is a new Trak-Star chassis for us that we’ve only raced five times, and I’ve got to thank Mike Boland at Boland Performance for helping us out. The drivers in the NeSmith Chevrolet Dirt Late Model Series are top notch, and it feels good to win at this level.”
In four previous NeSmith Chevrolet DLMS National Touring events this season, Blount’s best finish was 13th. With the exception of restarts after the four caution flags in the race, Blount was able to maintain a half straightaway lead over the second place finisher, Ben McCreary of Baldwyn, MS in the Waddle Trucking Mastersbilt.
McCreary was the McLeod Construction Fast Qualifier with a lap around South Mississippi Speedway in 15.918 seconds to earn the pole position for the main event. His runner-up finish gave him the Sunoco Race Fuels Rookie of the Race Award, and all but clinched McCreary the $5,000 Sunoco Race Fuel Rookie of the Year Award. All McCreary has to do is start Saturday night’s race.
Ricky Idom of Hattiesburg, MS drove the Ricky’s Performance Parts DWB to a third-place finish, and Derrick Rainey of Powder Springs, GA finished fourth in the Hays Family Racing/Barto Enterprises Warrior.
NeSmith Chevrolet Dirt Late Model Series National point leader Eric Cooley of Fulton, MS took the Race Car Engineering fifth spot in the 78 Towing and Recovery Victory Circle, and all but clinched the $20,000 National Championship. All Cooley has to do to claim the title is start the final points race of the season on Saturday night at South Mississippi Speedway.
Ronnie Johnson of Chattanooga, TN was sixth in the Miller Brothers Coal Warrior, and 15-year-old Joseph Joiner of Milton, FL finished seventh in the Joiner Racing GRT. Cliff Williams of Star, MS started 16th in the Ware Construction Trak-Star, and finished eighth to earn the GM Performance Parts Hard Charger Award plus the Race Car Engineering Eighth-Place Award.
Larry Boutwell of Baker, FL came back from an early race pit stop, and rallied to finish ninth in the McLeod Construction Rocket to earn the Maximum Signs Ninth-Place Award. Boutwell kept his slim championship hopes alive, but would need something catastrophic to befall Cooley in the Saturday night preliminary events for him to take the championship.
Boutwell can clinch his second straight NeSmith Chevrolet DLMS National Championship Runner-Up spot by starting the main event at SMS on Saturday night. Matthew Turner of Dawsonville, GA rounded out the top ten in the Turner Excavating DWB, and will battle with Rainey on Saturday night for the third spot in the National point standings.
When the field went green at the start of the race, Blount was able to take the lead from McCreary coming off the second turn on lap one, with Idom, Rainey, and Chase Washington of Houlka, MS following in third through fifth respectively. Blount knew the key to winning the race would be the first turn of the first lap.
“I was watching the heat races and saw that the car that started on the outside of the front row could take the lead at the start of the race,” Blount said. “I tried to keep Ben from moving up on me at the start. He raced me clean, I held my line, and that’s what it took to take the lead.”
The first caution flag came out on lap three when Justin McRee of Woodstock, AL in the Century Carriers, Inc. Trak-Star got into the back of Washington coming off the second turn, causing Washington to spin his Jerry Inmon Race Cars GRT.
In the ensuing scramble, Mike Boland of Cuba, AL spun off the outside of the backstretch, sending The Strength Center Trak-Star up on its left side. Boland was O.K., but was out for the evening. That earned Boland the Dominator Race Products Hard Luck Award.
Washington restarted in the fifth spot behind Blount, McCreary, Idom, and Rainey. Sixth through tenth respectively were Cooley, Johnson, Joiner, Noah Daspit of Kiln, MS in the Billy Riels Racing GRT, and Chase Edge of LaFayette, AL in the Gar’s Cash Flow Mastersbilt.
Cooley got by Washington for the fifth spot on the restart, and Johnson passed Washington for the sixth position on lap seven. By lap nine, Blount had opened up a half straightaway lead on McCreary as he began to encounter lapped cars. The second caution flag came out on lap 14 when Chris O’Connor of Cantonment, FL spun the Coggin Land Service Warrior in turn two.
Marcus Minga of Shannon, MS stalled the B&M Salvage Mastersbilt on the backstretch on lap 18 to bring out the third caution flag. On the restart, Joiner got by Johnson for the seventh spot, but Johnson reclaimed the position on lap 19. Williams and Boutwell had also worked themselves into the top ten by the halfway mark in the eighth and ninth respectively.
Johnson was on the move, as he passed Washington for the sixth spot with an inside move coming off the second turn on 20. Something broke on Washington’s race car on lap 22 as he spun in turn one out of the seventh spot to bring out the fourth and final caution flag.
When the field went to green, Blount once again pulled away from McCreary. Turner got underneath Daspit for the tenth spot coming off the second turn on lap 29. Blount once again had pulled out to a half straightaway lead by lap 35 when he began to get into lapped traffic. McCreary was unable to get close enough to challenge Blount for the lead in the last five laps.
In preliminary action, the two ten-lap heat races were won by Idom and Joiner. Boutwell won the 12-lap B-Main race. The NeSmith Chevrolet Dirt Late Model Series National Tour will return to South Mississippi Speedway on Saturday night for a 50-lap $2,500-to-win event, the final points race of the 2009 season.
