Rougemont, North Carolina (08/11/2007): The fifth race of the 2007 Season in the
ASA Late Model Series Southern Division Presented by GM Performance Parts is
now complete. The Orange County (NC) Speedway in Rougemont, North Carolina
was the site for the running of the Orange County 125 Presented by FLF Racecars.
The fast 0.375 Mile High-Banked Paved Oval in the Tar Heel State saw a very
exciting extended distance 125-lap Feature on a very hot and humid evening and
after all was said and done, Boothbay, Maine driver, Corey Williams made a lasting
first impression as he started on the pole in his David Stremme Racing/Chevrolet
Monte Carlo and withstood several challenges from a variety of drivers to lead all
125 laps to score his first career ASALMS Feature win.
Williams, who was making his ASALMS debut held off a determined, Sean Murphy,
who was looking for some redemption after losing the win at the Bristol (TN) Motor
Speedway in an ASALMS Challenge Division race after breaking a right front
wheel. Murphy settled for second after Williams pulled away from him and rest of
the field.
New ASALMS Southern Division Overall and Rookie of the Year Points Leader, Jeff
Choquette picked up his third straight Top Five finish with a solid third place
showing and now takes over the points leads heading into the Georgia
Doubleheader weekend on September 14-15, 2007. Beau Slocumb and Tommy
King from 21st, rounded out the Top Five.
Dillon Oliver earned the Hard-Charger of the Race Award with his 23rd to Sixth
place run while Wes Burton, Jeremy Gerstner, Zach Taylor, and Jimmy Lang
completed the Top 10 in a caution filled event that saw three of the top five in the
South points heading into the weekend, all knocked out of the event in various
accidents.
Earlier in the afternoon in ARP Bodies/Aluminum Racing Products Qualifying,
Choquette won his first career ARP Bodies Fast Qualifier Award as the
Loxahatchee, Florida driver in his C-C Loader Service/Ford Fusion turned a
14.234 which measures out to 94.843 MPH. The ASALMS Southern Division Track
Record was set back on August 19, 2006 when Josh Hamner went a 14.009
around the 0.375 Mile High-Banked Paved Oval.
