SPRING CITY, TN – Barry Goodman of Spring City, TN may want to play the lottery because Lady Luck was riding with him Saturday night to win the 25-lap Late Model Feature Race driving the Charlie’s Used Auto Parts CVR at Mountain View Raceway. Goodman took the lead on lap ten when early leader Addison Cardwell was involved in a wreck not of his own doing.
Goodman then held off Josh Collins of Knoxville, TN, who finished second in the Knoxville, Diesel Rocket. Jeff Jackson of Ooltewah, TN took the third spot in the Jackson Racing Longhorn and Kelby Norwood of Etowah, TN was fourth after starting 11th in the Exit Real Estate Rocket. Seth Jolley of Spring City, TN rounded out the top five in the Jolley Racing Special.
Cardwell took the lead at the start of the race followed by Goodman, Collins, Jackson and Jerry Hendrix of Chattanooga, TB in the Ware’s Heating and Air Mastersbilt. After two early caution flags on lap two and lap five, Cardwell of Knoxville, TN had pulled out to a full straightaway lead by lap ten over Goodman, the defending and three-time Late Model Track Champion.
As Cardwell worked lapped traffic, Jeremy Thurman of Rockwood, TN hit the front straightaway wall coming off turn four, as Cardwell charged off the corner on the inside. Thurman’s Thurman Racing GRT bounced off the wall and nosed across the track hitting Cardwell’s Cardwell Racing Rocket in the right-front corner eliminating both cars from the race.
Goodman took over the point for the restart and had Collins right on his back bumper for the remaining 15 laps of the race. Goodman’s margin of victory at the checkered flag was .650 seconds. It was Goodman’s fourth win of the season with a race car powered by an economical all-aluminum Chevrolet Performance CT525 Circle Track Engine.
After the race, Goodman drew for the Contingency Connection Special Award by pulling the number two. That meant the second-place finisher Collins won a $150 Product Certificate from Holley Performance. Cardwell was the Fast Qualifier with a lap in 11.501 seconds around the ¼-mile high-banked clay oval.
