Dotson holds off Lyle for LA Raceway checkers


LA MONTE, Mo. -- A good battle between Matt Dotson and Chad Lyle made for an interesting race in the Pitts Homes of Warsaw USRA Modified feature Friday night at the LA Raceway.

Dotson made a big run off the top to take the lead, and as the laps winded down it was a three-car breakaway as Dotson, Lyle and Terry Schultz were the front-runners with almost a full straight-away lead over fourth-place Nathan Vaughn.

Lyle made a few more attempts for the lead towards the end of the race, but Dotson took the win. Schultz took third and Vaughn finished fourth. Curt Potter beat Tim Setzer to the finish line by sticking it out on the hinges when coming out of turn 4.
