Tom Fearn picks up 36th career win in Late/ Model action at Stafford Spings 9-1-17

Posted by Wayne G. Barber

In the 30-lap Late Model feature event, Josh Wood took the lead at the green with a nearly 4-wide move in turns 1+2 with Tom Fearn right behind him in second.  Fearn took the lead from Wood on lap-2 and Michael Wray took second from Wood as Wood fell back to third in line.  Behind Wood was Tyler Leary in fourth, Glen Reen fifth, and Michael Bennett sixth. 
Wray was applying heavy pressure to Fearn but Fearn was able to hold him off.  Bennett got around Reen and Leary to move into third on lap-7 as Wray continued to give chase to Fearn out front.
At the halfway point of the race, Fearn was still in command with Wray and Bennett behind him.  Leary was fourth with Reen in fifth and Kevin Gambacorta sixth.  Fearn led what became a 5-car train to the checkered flag to pick up his third win of the 2017 season.  Wray finished second with Bennett, Leary, and Reen rounding out the top-5.

Tom Fearn now has 36 career wins in the late/ models and Woody Pitkat is next to catch on the track career list at 40  Fearn (562) now closes the gap to division leader Glenn Reen at 582 to 20 with 4 point races to go in 2017.
