ASA Late Models wow Bronson Speedway crowd

BRONSON –The largest crowd of the young racing season filed into Bronson Motor Speedway on Saturday night, March 29, for the Flagship RV 100 –the 2008 lid-lifter for the ASA Late Model Southern Series.

The fans were treated to a race with many twists and turns and ultimately, a wild and crazy finish at the high-banked 1/3 mile track.

When the smoke had cleared, Jimmy Lang, a 19-year-old out of South Carolina, emerged as the winner.

Lang took his 86 car around the 75 of Dave Odell for the lead after a restart with 99 laps in the book. Odell, who is out of Georgia, had a tire go down and slipped all the way back to 10th.

Chad Pierce charged up for a second-place finish in the 57 car, while Jeremy Gerstner of Wesley Chapel took third in the 70 car.

Local favorite Travis Cope, whose father Mike was once a Busch Series drver, had a shot at taking the checkered, but a questionable call sent him to the back of the pack late in the race.

Piloting the 26 car sponsored by Bestline Lubricants, the 19-year-old Cope challenged race leader Blake Lehr, who ran up front the first 79 laps in the 3 car.
