Monroe, WA (September 11, 2018) It’s been nearly two years since Doni Wanat visited Victory Lane in the Northwest Super Late Model Series (NWSLMS). Not only did Wanat capture the checkered flag at the Les Schwab 100 at Evergreen Speedway, but also picked up Evergreen Speedway’s Washington State Super Late Model Championship and the Bud Crown Series Championship. All in all, a great day for the Woodinville, Washington driver.
A late race pass to take the lead from Trenton Moriarity (Monroe, WA), who led from the green flag, set up a battle between the two that would take them right to the checkered flag. Starting in the 4th position, Wanat first had to catch Moriarity, who started on the pole after the 3-car invert and was untouchable most of the race. By lap 85, Wanat not only caught him, but had muscled his way to the inside of Moriarity to take the lead. Moriarity didn’t give up though, staying right on his bumper to the end. Coming for the checkered flag, the two came up to lap Andy Sole (San Tan, AZ) in turn 4. Wanat went high, Moriarity low into the dirt, trying to get back to the lead. Chaos ensued as Sole got spun and caught third place Jeff Knight (Monroe, WA). It was Wanat who crossed the stripe first to capture his first win since Wenatchee Valley Super Oval in September 2016.
Knight survived a multicar incident at lap 29, when he and NWSLMS Championship Point’s leader, Brittney Zamora made contact and spun in turn 1 blocking the track and collecting nearly half the field. While Zamora’s car had extensive damage, she was able to hang on for a 14th place finish. Knight’s car had minimal damage and was able to get back to racing. He caught the leaders to challenge at the end, only to be caught up in the melee with Sole, ultimately finishing in the 7th position.
Rookie Tanner Holm (Monroe, WA) captured his first ever podium finish in third, followed by Mitch Kleyn (Quincy, WA) and Gary Lewis (Snohomish, WA) to round out the top 5.
The point’s battle has heated up going into the final event of 2018 at Wenatchee Valley Super Oval. While Zamora’s point lead is comfortable and a green flag in the feature event will secure her second championship, the biggest battle is for second position. Sole, Kleyn and Moriarity have only two points separating the three. The tight points battle should provide added excitement for the championship race.
The NWSLMS Tour returns to action September 22-23rd at the Fall Shindig at Wenatchee Valley Super Oval for the Neal Newberry 125. This will be the series season championship event.
