Jamie Yelton Wins UARA Strutmaster.com 150

 

(Forest City, NC April 27th) Jamie Yelton felt like the first two races of the 2008 season had cheated him from victory. At Concord he was racing toward the front and got spun, creating a clutch problem and leaving him with a disapointed 5th place finish. At Motor Mile he was putting on a clinic and driving off in a tipical Yelton dominate fashion, and a distribitor gear broke and sent him to the pits. But, at Orange County Speedway, during the Strutmaster.com 150 Yelton was not going to be denied, leading 138 laps, driving off to his 7th UARA-STARS Victory and 33 Win of his short Late Model career.

 

  Driving his Marlowe Racing Chassis, Kevin Blanks powered, Blake Carburetors, Circle Wheels, ARP Racing Bodies, Reed Suspension Engineering, Breaden Oil, Auto Image, GM Performance Parts, Everett Chevrolet, Buick, Pontiac, GMC Chevrolet Impala SS to Victory Lane, Yelton feels this is a start of good runs that will put him atop of the UARA points where he belongs. " I want to thank all my guys and David King my crew cheif, these guys dont give up. And what can you say about the best racing chassis out here, Greg Marlowe is awesome, he builds the best." Yelton also stated " the car drove so good, we changed alot in practice and then went back to the way it was set up when we got here. Kevin's motor was flawless, it's by far the best I have had. This was a great race for us, and the UARA did a great job in putting on a show for the fans and those Goodyear tires were awesome. I also want to thank Paddy Rodenbeck and his family for their support. Paddy has a come along way and he is only going to get better. This team loves to win and I hope this is a start of a good streak of finishes for both Paddy and myself".

 

  Jamie and his crew better know as "The Forest City Badboys" are looking forward to Bristol Motor Speedway, May 17th. Jamie has finished as high as 5th there and looks to improve on that finish. This is by far one of the biggest races of the season for Late Model drivers, and you can bet that the best drivers in the nation will be there to feel the excitement of the "Worlds Fastest 1/2 Mile".
