Jason Fitzgerald moved past Mark Whitener with just two laps to go, and went on to score the Late Model victory in the Scott Thompson Memorial at East Bay Raceway Park in Tampa, FL Saturday night.

Twenty-five cars took the green flag, with Devin Dixon taking the early lead over Phillip Cobb and Whitner. The caution flew on lap two when several cars tangled, then flew again when Megan Meyer and Travis Varnadore tangled on the backstretch, ending both of their nights.

Back under green, Whitener moved to the lead on lap 10. Caution flew again on lap 17 when Scott Lagasee, Jr. spun in turn two. Caution would fly again on lap 20 when Darrell Padgett slowed in turn two. Whitener would lead the field to the green flag on lap 17 with Jack Nosbisch, Jr. in second. Caution flew again on lap 34 when Austin Kirkpatrick suffered a flat tire, setting up a single file restart.

Several more cautions came out until the final restart with Whitener still in charge with Smith, Keith Nosbisch, Jack Nosbisch, Jr. and Ivadent Lloyd, Jr. in pursuit. Whitener appeared to have his third straight win in hand, but with just two laps to go Fitzgerald powered to the top spot and would go on to pick up the win. Keith Nosbisch, Shan Smith, Ivedent Lloyd, Jr. and Jack Nosbisch, Jr. rounded out the top five.

In other action, the Q Auto & Injury Attorneys Street Stocks started off the night, with William Burnside and Tim Gay making up the front row. When the green flag waved it was Gay leading the way with the Burnside brothers William and Thomas trailing. The first caution came out on lap one as Jeff Rodgers spun in turn two. Several more cautions would come out until lap five when the red flag flew after William Burnside found himself upside down in turn two. Burnside was okay and finished 12th overall. With time limit running out with the cautions it would be determined a green-white-checkered finish would come into play. Winning the feature in as many starts, Tim Gay found himself in victory lane for a third time. Ronnie Whitley finished in second, with Jeff Rodgers in third, Buck Woodhouse in fourth and Thomas Burnside in fifth.

Next up were the East Bay Sprints. Jason Webster and Billy Boyd, Jr. made up the front row for the 20 lap feature. When the green waved Webster quickly went out in front with Boyd, Jr. trailing behind. The first caution of the feature came out on lap three with Lorenzo Capitano spun in turn four. On the restart Webster once again showed his muscle and led Boyd, Jr. through lapped traffic. Webster wend on to score the win, with Jimmy Ballew in second, Billy Boyd, Jr. in third, Tony Agin in fourth and Tim George in fifth.

With the curfew looming, the Motorstats.com 4 Cylinder Bombers feature had to be postponed.

Racing continues Saturday night as the Late Models, Gagel’s Open Wheel Modifieds, Outlaw Fours, Motorstats.com 4 Cylinder Bombers and the Florida Old Time Modifieds. For further information, log on to eastbayracewaypark.com.
