Combs wins at 201; Inches closer to points leader Thornsberry

(feature winner Chris Combs)

Chris Combs dominates the 25-lap feature at 201 last night. With the win Combs inches closer to that track points lead, as current points leader Shannon Thornsberry come away with an 8th place finish.

15 super late models signed in last night at 201. DJ Wells captured last nights fast time award. Wells also won his heat race. 

The night didn't go by without some questionable activity. Late in heat #1, Daniel Williams & Michael Paul Howard got into one another coming out of turn 4, and Howard ended up spinning on the front stretch. Williams was sent to the back by track officials for rough driving. Williams didn't like it and stormed off the track. I honestly can't blame him. I seen some contact, but both guys where racing and putting on a good show. Hate to see it end like that, but that's quick judgment call. Valid arguments can be made from both sides. I think they should have let them race. However, 201 is trying to do the right thing and keep things from escalating. Things like this happen.

As for the feature, Combs started on the front row with DJ Wells and no one had anything for him. Combs jumped out to the a straightaway lead in just 3 laps and no one could close the gap. Stephen Breeding used the high line to get to 2nd, as Wells dropped back and finished 5th. Paul Davis and Michael Paul Howard worked their way through the field and each ended up with a top 5 finish.
