Patrick Duggan Rocks the House at Atomic Motor
Speedway
Lenior City, TN Driver Survives Action-Packed Night & Crashfest in
Knoxville, TN
Knoxville, TN - 7/2 - Patrick Duggan scored yet another NASCAR Weekly Racing
Series (NWRS) win at Atomic Motor Speedway on Saturday night snatching the lead
away from Aaron Monger in a 50 lap dogfight filled with three and four wide
racing as well as a night of dramatic crashes and flipping racecars.
At the outset young upstart Corey Norman secured the lead until an untimely,
early race spin resulting from contact with Monger sent Norman to the rear of
the field following a caution. After the restart Duggan worked furiously toward
the front in a challenge to take the lead from Monger. All the while defending
NWRS defending champion Mark Vineyard and Kevin Coffey were mounting challenges
of their own weaving their way through high-speed traffic on the lightning fast
high banked third mile oval. Duggan peaked beneath Monger on lap 31 and again on
several other occasions in the ensuing laps.
Duggan pulled off the winning pass on lap 42, but still had Vineyard’s charge
to deal as the non-stop action raged on. Just as a wild three-car scramble for
the win was shaping up, Vineyard was clipped by a backmarker as the pack exited
turn four. Vineyard slammed hard into the turn four concrete as cars scattered
crashing and bashing on the front stretch in the ensuing melee. The cars of
Vineyard, Roger Best and Roy Ledbetter were completely destroyed, none of their
own making, as Duggan, from Lenior City, TN, maintained his pace on the
following restart to score another big win in the chase for the 2002
championship at Atomic Motor Speedway.
