Watson Goes Back To Back At DIS!

By: Tanner Hollis , DELMAR, DE - This past Saturday Delaware International Speedway hosted the 2021 edition of the  William & Juanita J. Cathell Memorial race. The stakes were raised for the Delaware Dirt Modifieds with the victory earnings paying out $2,021 to win.  Reigning track champion Jordan Watson not only claimed the increased winnings, but has a guaranteed starting spot into the Delaware Dirt Track Championships in October.

Robert Dutton would lead the field to the green flag for the 30 lap feature race.  Jordan Watson would move his big block up into the second spot . Howard O’Neal brought out the first caution of the evening.  Fans were eyeing the invader Ryan Watt, as he picked off several spots before the caution. With three laps in, the race went back green, and Watson overtook the lead on lap five from Dutton. Brad Trice began to set his sight on Dutton after taking over the third spot.

 

Kevin Sockriter brought out the second caution of the evening,  on lap seven after moving up into the fourth spot. When thefield was about to go back green Ryan Watt who was running in the fifth spot came to abrupt stop on the back straightaway. It was determined that Watt suffered from a broken drive shaft. On the restart Trice and Dutton battled it out before the caution came out for a multi car accident.

 

On the restart Trice broke away from Dutton and began to start reeling in Watson, however Watson put his modified into high gear and pulled away from Dutton by almost a full straightway lead. With less than five laps to go Austin Hubbard was movingup through the field. Hubbard was putting pressure on Ryan Riddle who was running fourth, but was unable to close the deal when Matt Smith brought out the caution flag.

 

The field went back to green for a shoot-out, but Watson ended up cruising his way to the checkered flag and winning back to back victory’s in the modified division for the season .

 

 

Matt Hill took the early lead in the RUSH Late Model feature event with Derek Magee trying to take over the top spot. Unfortunately, Magee would be done for the evening after having some problems from the car. As Hill was beginning to pull away from the rest of the field, Sparky White had other plans. White coming down to the one to go was closing in Hill, out of turn number four White pulls right infront of Hill to take the win in the Rush Late Model Feature in a thrilling fashion.

 

Adam White picks up his second win of the year in the AC Delco Modifieds. Robert Riley brought out two cautions of the evening. The race resulted with a pair of Whites finishing first and second.

Jimmy Wills dominated the Mod-Lite feature race, Wills lead every lap in the 15 lap race. He picked up win number two of the year in the Modified Lite division.

 

Shane Clogg put his number 18 machine into victory lane for the 12 lap feature in the Delaware Super Truck Division. Rounding out the memorial race was the vintage division, long time racer Kerry King picks up the win in the Vintage Modified class with Terry Chaney picking up the win in the Sportsman class.
