Rochester, WA (August 18, 2018) It’s been a winning month for Alan Cress. Coming off a victory at the Miller 200 just a couple weeks ago, Cress was able to back that up by winning the South Sound Speedway 125 in the second 2018 outing of the North West Super Late Model Series, Inc. (NWSLMS).
Cress and Brook Schimmel (Woodland, WA) had a great battle for the lead, with Cress making a move to the inside to take over and lead them to the checkered. The lead changed six time during the course of the event. Trenton Moriarity (Monroe, WA), an early leader, would also battle Schimmel in the closing laps to take over second position. Schimmel, who led the most laps of the feature, had an impressive run and took the final podium spot.
Tayler Riddle (Naches, WA) and Ian Graham (Agassiz, British Columbia, Canada) would round out the top five for the night.
Brandon Ash (Roseburg, OR) and second generation Moriarity brought the field to green for the 125-lap event. Ash quickly took over the lead with Evans making quick work of Moriarity in second. Evans would chase down Ash and take over the lead.
Contact between pole setter Brittney Zamora (Kennewick, WA) and Ash would bring out a caution. Zamora suffered minor damage and was able to get in and out of the pits without losing a lap. Evans and Bob Presley (Olympia, WA) would battle for the lead on the restart. While Evans was able to hang on to the lead, he developed brake issues and Presley swooped in to take the lead away. Evans brake issues ended his night early. Moriarity was able to reel in Presley a few laps later to take his turn at the lead.
Schimmel was quietly waiting for her opportunity at the front, and she got it. Quickly putting distance between her and Moriarity, she started picking her way through traffic. Cress, who had been consistently gaining from his ninth qualifying position, now had Moriarity in his sights.
A late race caution was not what Schimmel wanted to see but set up a great finale for the fans. Schimmel and Cress would battle it out for the lead, and eventually the win.
The NWSLMS Tour returns to action September 8th at Evergreen Speedway. This will be the series second trip of the season to the Monroe, WA facility. For more information log onto the series Facebook page, website www.nwsuperlatemodels.com or Evergreen Speedway www.evergreenspeedway.com
