This is the final race of the year for the 2012

season, where Mike Garvey already has the

Allen Turner Pro Late Model

S e r i e s locked up.

Gary Good-win is beyond the reach of

the Butler U-Pull It

Bombers . There will be a “dilly” of a battle in the West Florida Coat-ings Sportsmen class. See Chuck Corders story inside for a look into that Fowler-Buttrick battle.

That leaves the Modi-fieds, where Mobile’s

Donnie Hamrac has the best record so far.

After tonight, we will have a track cham-

pion in all 6 of our divi-sions. The presentation of the purple Hoosier jackets will be at the Derby on Sunday just before we run the 300 lap race.

We get a little rest to prepare for the

45th Annual Snowball Derby©. You see the new sponsor for Victory Lane...we welcome JEGS as participant.

Let’s start out with congratulations to

some drivers who accom-polished some goals last week. First Jeff Choquette from West Palm Beach, on his winning the Buddy’s Home Furnishing Blizzard 100. That finished off the Super Late Models for the year. This was Choquette’s first ever win here. He has had some very close runs, like the 2011 Snow-

ball Derby, when he was involved in a turn 3 crash while leading the race.

Congrats to Dwayne Buggay on his best

ever SLM finish, crossing the line in second place.

Bubba Pollard claimed the Blizzard Track

Championship, and Randy Thompson is the Super Stock Champ. Look inside for photos of the 4 track champs. More champs will be confirmed tonight.

It may be an uncharacteristic week-end race, but business will be bustlin’ in all 4 divisions, but especially for the West Florida Coatings Sportsmen.

Brannon Fowler is eyeing a second straight track championship. He’s a qualifying time and 30 feature laps away from destiny’s doorstep. “It would mean a lot to win another,” said Fowler, who also boasts a Bombers track crown from a few years ago. “I take a lotta pride in what we do out here. To be a track champion, and to try to repeat in the Sportsman division, it’s quite a feat with the level of competition.”

But Fowler knows the famed half-mile, asphalt oval isn’t paved with yellow bricks.

The Molino driver, who owns two feature wins this year, is clinging to a 14-point lead over Steve Buttrick — a seven-time feature winner this season, the 2010 Sportsmen track title winner and the two-time reigning Sportsmen Snowball Derby champ. In other words, this intriguing matchup didn’t need any more flavoring.

But it certainly got a few sprinkles this week when Buttrick took exception to the way Fowler drove him at last week’s Double Points Night race. Buttrick feels Fowler’s careless driving caused him to wreck and nearly cost him his season. “He drove through a lapped car, and in my opinion that was very stupid,” said the Cantonment driver of the blue No. 33. “I could go all year and drive along lapped cars, and not touch ’em. I’ve been pretty upset about it. He knew I was outside of him. I knew it was gonna happen.” Miraculously, Buttrick some-how fired it up, got it going and rallied home to finish as the runner-up.
