Pressley Keeps Streak Alive at Tri-County Motor Speedway

Hudson, North Carolina (July 21, 2007) - After an extended layoff due to scheduling and weather issues, the Late Model Stocks returned to action last Friday night at Tri-County Motor Speedway and picked up where they left off several weeks ago. Coleman Pressley, son of veteran NASCAR driver Robert Pressley, took the lead with three laps remaining to win the 75-lap Late Model Stock feature event. With the win Pressley helped keep a run of different winners this season in Late Model Stock action. TCMS has not had a repeat winner in the feature division this season with Junior Franks, Mark Setzer, Travis Swaim, Josh Goble, Ricky Bryant, and Kevin Leicht all visiting victory lane in the speedway’s most competitive division. Bruce Greene finished in second with Franks, Chrissy Wallace and Mike Swaim completing the top five.

Kevin Townsend edged Scott Franklin by less than the length of his hood to win the Pepsi Super Stock feature. Brian Stahl was third with Bryant Wallace and Jason Franklin completing the top five rundown.

Dave Courrier, Jr. ended Bill Cassavaugh’s streak of wins in the Limited Late Model division with Mario Hernandez finishing second and Cassavaugh third.

Ernie Harris was declared the winner in the Street Stock race with Marshall Sutton second and Kevin Eby third. Mike Hatton finished fourth and David Smith completed the top-five.
