By Michael Despain

JUNCTION CITY, KENTUCKY (October 2, 2020)– The Schaeffer’s Oil Iron-Man Championship Late Model Series presented by DirtonDirt.com would make its third visit of the season to Ponderosa Speedway on Friday evening for the track’s 30th Annual Fall Classic and Cameron Marlar of Winfield, TN would lead all forty laps of the event and score his biggest career payday by claiming the $5,000 victory.

The win by the 25-year old second generation racer would be his first career Schaeffer’s Oil Iron-Man Late Model Series victory and would come behind the wheel of a Rocket Chassis powered by a Clements Race Engine and carries sponsorship from Marlar’s Auto Mart, Don Franklin Auto Group, and PPM Racing Products.

Cameron Marlar would take the lead at the start of the 30th Annual Fall Classic feature event, with Zack Dohm, Billy Moyer, Jr., Michael Chilton, and Jason Jameson in pursuit. The first caution of the race would appear on lap two when Ryan King’s mount would slow on the backchute, but King would be able to continue. The restart would see Marlar and Dohm hold first and second, while Moyer, Jr., Chilton, and Jameson would race three-wide for third, with Chilton and Jameson working by Moyer, Jr. and trading slidejobs for the spot, with Chilton taking the position on lap four. Marlar would open up a comfortable lead, but would have to begin lapping slower traffic on lap twelve and by lap fifteen, Marlar would be in heavy traffic, allowing Dohm to close in a bit, while Chilton challenged Dohm for second. The final caution of the race appeared on lap seventeen when Anthony Kinkade would slow on the backchute and his night would be finished. The restart would see the front four of Marlar, Dohm, Chilton, and Moyer, Jr. remain the same, with Justin Rattliff working past Jameson for the fifth position.

As the race reached the halfway mark, Marlar would maintain a comfortable lead, with Dohm in second, while Moyer, Jr. began to pressure Chilton for third, with ninth-place starting Mike Marlar would pressure Rattliff for fifth. By lap twenty-five, Cameron Marlar would continue to stretch his lead a bit, while Moyer, Jr. would get alongside Chilton and take the third position on lap twenty-six, while Mike Marlar would win the battle for the fifth spot on lap twenty-seven. Cameron Marlar would maintain a steady lead, with Dohm and Moyer, Jr. giving chase, with Mike Marlar now pressuring Chilton for the fourth position and would finally snag the spot on lap thirty-three. Cameron Marlar would encounter some slower traffic to contend with by lap thirty-five, allowing Dohm to close in on the leader. However, Cameron Marlar would work traffic nicely in the remaining laps to take the victory, with Dohm finishing second, and Moyer, Jr. coming home third. Mike Marlar would finish fourth, while Rattliff would nip Chilton at the checkered flag for the fifth spot. Chilton would wind up sixth, with the remainder of the top ten finishers being Scott James, Brandon Fouts, Jameson, and King.

The Schaeffer’s Oil Iron-Man Championship Late Model Series next event will be Saturday October 10 at Lake Cumberland Speedway in Burnside, KY for the track’s annual Lake Cumberland Classic, paying $5,000 to win.
