Tomster Wins Third Feature Of The Year
Qualified: 8TH, 15.341 (102.783 MPH)
Marne, MI (June 28) – If it is a Saturday night at Berlin, it means racing and weather issues. Once again, rain affected the nights activities cancelling heats and pushing the program to a start time of 8pm. However, the Thomas Motorsports crew as always, rises to meet the challenge. When the green flag waved to start the Coors Light Late Models, Tom was on the charge to the front. He had a great battle for third with #222 Caleb Bisacky in the early laps of the 50 lap feature. On lap 20 leader #8 Dakota Carlson got into a lapped car, Tom running third at the time chose the right lane to dart into first place. From that point on the Baker-powered hot rod would not be touched as Tom cruised to his 3rd win of the year. “Nine times out of 10 we know what we are going to run in the feature before we even get to the track,” Thomas said. “Sometimes we will make fine-tuning adjustments based on how a heat race or scuff session feels, but that wasn’t the case tonight”. While accepting another Hoosier Tire Feature Winner sticker, Thomas added “I want to pepper this roof with these stickers”
Upcoming At Berlin:
Next race for Tom, July 12 at Berlin – 100 laps

Message Board Quote of the Week: “I don’t see how Rusty + DEI + COT = competitive on the racetrack in 2009. I do see how Rusty could hook a sponsor, though, which DEI needs more than ever with Paul Menard leaving and taking the Menards money with him.” Scott B on rumors that Rusty Wallace would be making a return to NASCAR behind the wheel of a DEI-owned machine
