New Late Model track record at Stafford Speedway

Posted by Wayne G. Barber

In the 30-lap Late Model feature event, Chase Cook took the early lead with Tyler Leary, Darrell Keane, Al Saunders, and Michael Wray lined up behind him.  Tom Fearn was sixth with Mike Quintiliano seventh and Paul Arute eighth.  Fearn took fifth from Wray on lap-4 while at the front, Leary was in the lead with Cook sliding back to fourth as Keane took second and Al Saunders third.
Fearn quickly worked his way up to second behind Leary when the caution flew with 14 laps complete for Cook, who spun in the middle of turns 1+2.
Leary took the lead on the restart but Fearn would take the lead on lap-16.  Wray was third with Al Saunders fourth and Keane was fifth.  Fearn led Leary to the checkered flag to record his fifth consecutive Late Model feature win.  Wray finished third with Al Saunders and Keane rounding out the top-5.  Fearn’s fifth consecutive win set a Stafford Speedway track record for consecutive Late Model wins.
