Carson City, NV – 19 year-old Bobby Hodges won his second career
Late Model feature on Saturday night over a field of 24 cars at All American Speedway in Roseville, Calif.

 

The
NASCAR Whelen All-American Series-sanctioned three-tenths mile hosted a pair of
50 lap features.

 

Hodges
qualified sixth which put him third on the grid after the invert. After
battling back and forth with 16 year-old Jacob Gomes, Hodges took the lead for
good on lap 22.

 

Hodges
fended off repeated challenges from Gomes all the way to the finish for the
$750 win.

 

“This win
just felt right,�?? Hodges said. “We made an adjustment and this car is just
perfect when its right.�??

 

The event
was the first for Hodges in his 2009 black Chevrolet, after damaging that mount
in a crash on June 6. 

 

“It’s
pretty cool in the first race back in this car to win with it,�?? Hodges said.

 

Mechanical
failure ruined Hodges’ chances at winning both races for the night, as he had
to surrender the lead for a broken suspension bracket in the right rear.

 

Hodges
had pulled away to a large lead in just the first 10 laps of the race before
having to retire to the pits.

 

“Our goal
is to hopefully crack the top-100 in the nation and top-20 in the state standings,�?? Hodges
said. 

 

He is
also in the running for the Westcar Late Model Series title, and runs seventh
in that division with four races to go.

 

Bobby
Hodges Racing will return to action on August 8 for a Twin 44 lap event for
both Westcar and NASCAR points.

 

Hodges
thanks his crew, sponsors, and parents for all their support throughout his
career.
