Charles Stout Dominates at Road Atlanta

[Troy Dalton]

iRacing News - Road Atlanta 45

This week we come to you from Brazelton, Georgia and the 1.81 mile, 14 turn, Club Course located at the famous Road Atanta Road Course.

Starting the race from pole, Charles Stout set the pace, leading all of the scheduled 45 laps. With his first victory in the books, Stout became the sixth different winner in seven weeks in the Champion Motorsports Late Model Series.



From the very start of the race, it was clear that Stout had the car to beat. Troy Dalton, who started second on the grid, tried in vain to stay in touch with Stout, but he was unable to match Stout's blistering pace. With a second place finish well in hand, Dalton once again fell victim to poor fuel economy and was forced to make a late race splash and dash.



However, when Dalton pitted for fuel, this allowed Mike Swanson to take over second place, with Dalton a mere seconds behind in hot pursuit. Dalton quickly made up the lost time and on the penultimate lap, he tried in vain to take advantage of a rare Swanson mistake, but...



The two cars made contact in the 10a/b complex and Swanson was spun. Dalton did slow to allow Swanson to repass, but by that time, the leader had lapped them both and the race was over.

When the dust settled, it was Charles Stout atop the podium, followed by Mike Swanson, Troy Dalton, Devin Obrien, and John Hiatt.
