PPMS Super Late Model points picture becomes clearer after double-header.


Imperial, PA – The Super Late Model race for the championship in 2005 was possibly the closest in track history. John Flinner took the title by the skin of his teeth over Lou Bradich and Steve Baker in the final point’s race of the season. Most fans of Dirt’s Monster Half-Mile would scoff at you if you told them that the Super Late Model class would re-create the same drama the following year.

But it looks to be shaping up that way. This time, Bradich is in the lead and hoping to secure the title by the last week.

A heated three way battle for the title continued through the double-header weekend. Lou Bradich held a mere 9 point lead over Michael “Hot Rod” Davis, and Hall of Fame driver Lynn Geisler was not far behind. After two races over the weekend, the picture has become clearer. Lynn Geisler pulled closer to Davis, and a feature win Saturday night helped Bradich extend his lead slightly, but with five weeks left there is no room for error for any of these drivers.

The current standings are as follows:

Lou Bradich – 618 Pts.
Mike Davis – 581 Pts.
Lynn Geisler – 561 Pts.

Driver Talk: Steve Casebolt has teamed up with Beitler Motorsports to pilot the famous Reliable Painting #19 Rocket Chassis for a number of races this fall. Casebolt, currently 6th in the Lucas Oil national circuit point’s standings, will pilot his #C9 for most of the remaining races on the NARA schedule. Steve makes his debut in Dale Beitler’s car tonight at K-C Raceway in Ohio. Hopefully, we’ll see Casebolt in Western PA come this fall. Check back tomorrow for Casebolt's results in his first showing for Dale Beitler.
