August 23, 2014 Montgomery Ala:
Multiple story lines unfolded last night as Montgomery Motor Speedway presented the Saturday of Speed. 220 laps of hard charging action thrilled the fans as they witnessed a strong field of Pro Late Models, 22 strong competed on the historic oval.
Budweiser fast time qualifying started the evening as Dennis Reno Jr. scooted his x2 pro late model around the track for a time of 19.133. The next 3 competitors posted times that were only 1 thousands of a second apart. Pensacola’s Mike Garvey was timed at 19.166, Jasper Alabama’s John Bolen 19.167 and Leeds Alabama driver Justin South at a 19.168.
The race started with a brisk pace as the Buddy’s Home Furnishing, triple K Construction, Beef O’ Brady’s #1 of Garvey led the field. Challenges from the x2 of Reno, #88 Garrett Jones from Mooresville, N.C.and R.S. Senter From Flowery Branch Ga. Just could not overtake the machine of Garvey.
Trouble brought out the caution on lap 1 as the #30 of Rusty Sanford Jr from Seminary, MS., #61 of Goodlettesville, TN. driver T.W. Fisher and the 5n of Shane Nalley all were caught up on the back stretch. Contact on lap 12 between #13 Bill Bethea III and #3 of Jordan McCallum saw the yellow fly again. The race hit its rhythm as things went well till a hard hit by #3 McCallum ended the Lizello, Georgian’s night on lap 41. Korey Ruble in the #18 Pitboxes.com Ronnie Sanders machine worked his way to the front after an early pit stop but just didn’t have enough and posted a second place finish. R.S. Senter #10 drove his way to a 3rd place podium finish and contended for the lead during the contest and local driver Perry Patino had a great showing in his first pro late model race at Montgomery Motor Speedway finishing 4th. The Last caution flew on lap 92 and it was an 8 lap shootout to the end. Mike Garvey was able to hold off the stiff competition for his first win of the 2014 season at Montgomery Motor Speedway.
Pensacola’s Mike Garvey takes the Checkers in the Pro Late Model race at MMS… could we see Garvey in Victory lane in 2 weeks at the ALABAMA 200?
