LAKE CITY, Fla. (March 25) – Kevin Davis was right where he
wanted to be.
Out front.
He became the third leader in three laps and then sped away from
the C Class/Limited Late Model field Saturday evening at North Florida
Speedway.
He may not have had the best grip of the racing surface with
his Davis Golf Carts Snow Brothers chassis, but it was obviously good enough in
the 15-laps feature, shortened to 11 laps due to time limit.
“The track was a little sandy,” Davis said. “We were
spinning the whole time. It just wasn’t right, but I just want to thank
everybody on this car.”
Davis left the rest of the field to survive. Two massive
accidents brought out the red flag.
The first was right after the heat race green flag. Lake
City’s Jason Kight slammed into the wall entering turn one, became air born,
took out the catch fence and pirouetted to a nose down stop on the fence. He
was not hurt, but his Snow Brothers chassis was heavily damaged.
The second occurred during the feature when Billy Kervin
spun on the back stretch, collected Donnie Padgett and crashed hard into the
outside barrier, almost turning over. He also was not injured.
“I don’t know what those guys were doing behind me,” Davis
added. “I’m glad I was in front of them and not behind them.”
