TWIN 44 WIN FOR SCOTT EXTENDS
POINTS LEAD IN TITLE HUNT
Â
PINE
GROVE, CALIFORNIA (August 17, 2010) – 18 year-old Matt Scott of Pine Grove, Calif. drove to
his ninth career Late Model victory in the first of the twin 44 lap features on
Saturday night in NASCAR-sanctioned competition at All American Speedway in
Roseville, Calif.
Â
Scott
increased his points lead to 83 points over Bobby Grewohl and 93 points over
Jonathan Mawhinney.
Â
The
feature win marked Scott’s seventh straight podium finish and his 42nd
career top-ten, increasing his career top-ten percentage to 88%.
Â
He opened
up the evening by timing in second fast on the one-third mile asphalt oval
outside of Sacramento, turning a lap of 13.949 seconds.
Â
In the
first 44 lap feature of the night, Scott raced forward from third on the
starting grid. After making his way into
second, Scott began to reel in Grewohl.
Â
While the
race continued on caution-free, Scott and Grewohl came into some lapped
traffic. With Scott’s car coming to his
liking during the long green flag run, Grewohl started to show a loose
condition.
Â
On lap
38, Grewohl got loose coming out of turn two and Scott surged to the
inside. Scott won the drag race into
turn three to complete the pass and led the final six laps to a 2.1 second win.
Â
In the
second 44 lap feature of the night, Scott started sixth. Scott found navigating traffic in the second
race a little more difficult. This 44
lap contest also went caution-free.Â
Scott moved into third by lap 18 and maintained the third position all
the way to the finish.
