UNITY, Maine (October 22, 2006)   Sunday's Super Late Model race was a tough one with many trips for Corey and others into the dirt banks in turns one and two. Corey's three trips into the dirt were dramatic but the #47 keep coming back for more, unlike Ralph Nason in the #10 - last two shots below. A cold track with little grip and hard racing generated many yellows which in turn gave many of the racers including Corey Lucky Dog laps back.  Due to the Lucky Dogs, Corey stayed on the lead lap, but so did thirteen others again because of the Lucky Dog free laps.

Corey closed out the North season in eighth place in the points standings.

Williams Brothers Racing now looks forward to the Mason-Dixon Meltdown at South Boston Speedway on Nov. 24th, the final event of PASS South for 2006.

WILLIAMS HAS A TOUGH DAY AT THE OFFICE

Nason, a Unity native who also happens to own the speedway, led the race on four occasions and clearly had the fastest car in the field. After starting seventh on the 25-car grid, the cagey veteran and three-time Oxford 250 winner went to the outside of Williams to take the point for the first time on lap 34. Williams made Nason work for this one, leading on three occasions for a total of 37 laps. The young hotshoe from Boothbay settled for second, while local favorite George Fernald Jr. of nearby Benton was third. Chuck Colby and Jimmy Rosenfield rounded out the top five.

"I was a little worried on those restarts," said Nason. "With the track this cold, it took a few laps to get any heat in the tires. Once they got warm, my car really took off and handled like a dream. Corey was fast on the outside, and he gave me a run for it two or three times. I'm thrilled we could hold him off and bring home the win. There are a lot of good cars in this division, it takes a strong car to win one of these things."

Williams was thrilled with his performance, and expressed his feelings about battling with one of Maine's best-known racers for the win.

"It felt really good to run up front today," said the former Legends division standout. "Ralph is a tough racer, I've been watching him race since I was a kid and just to compete this well against him is pretty special. This was a great run for us, now we'll get ready for tomorrow and hope to run strong in the 150."

Fernald started 17th on the grid and fought tooth-and-nail all afternoon to record a podium finish. With a cold track, traction was at a premium for everybody as they fought for position. "I didn't think we could make it up this far," he said. "It was a tough battle for us, every time we would start making headway another caution would come out and we'd have to start over again on the restart. The car was hooked up today, which allowed me to pick my way up through traffic. I'm thrilled to be standing here, and have to thank my team for their efforts."

Nine cautions slowed the proceedings, most for minor incidents. Of them all, the worst was brought out at lap 76 when several cars came together going into Turn 3. After a brief delay to remove debris, action continued and Nason set about his quest for the biggest trophy. Seven cars finished on the lead lap, and 15 of the 25 starters were running at the finish.
