Thomas Finishes 2nd To First Time Winner Anthony
Qualified: 3rd, 15.234 (103.505 MPH)
Heat: 6th
Marne, MI (July 19) – It was Lane Automotive night at the Berlin Raceway for the final night of the Berlin Fair. The yellow flag flew three times before a lap was ever completed in the 50 lap feature for the Coors Light late models Saturday night. The first caution waved for #88 Tim Yonker as he spun off turn 4. The second caution waved for a wreck in turn 1 involving #222 Caleb Bisacky, #1 Randy Sweet, #32 Ross Meeuwsen and #21 Terry VanHaitsma, all would re-start the race except for VanHaitsma who was done for the evening. The third attempt to start the race resulted in caution #3 when #15 Brian Maxim stopped on the track. On the fourth attempt at starting the race, everyone made it clean and green. After qualifying third earlier in the afternoon and as a result of the inversion, Tom started 5th in the feature and on lap 1 quickly jumped into 4th place. Thomas was on the move early and by lap 15 he was 2nd chasing #55 Chris Anthony. There were 5 more cautions throughout the race all for single car incidents, which kept the field bunched up. Thomas chased Anthony all night, but could not get around him at the checkers and settled for 2nd place. Chris Anthony became the 86th different driver to win a late model feature at Berlin dating back to 1965.
