Three time AMSOIL Late Model Series champion Steve Laursen dominated the action in the series opener at the Superior Speedway Friday night.
The Cumberland, Wis. driver served notice on the competition that he wants to win his fourth AMSOIL Late Model Series championship. The crafty veteran easily won his ten lap heat race and used his pole position starting slot to the best advantage dominating the 35 lap feature.
While veteran Tom Nesbitt of Thunder Bay got the first jump on Laursen, a three car tangle in the first turn quickly brought action to a halt. The second restart brought a four car pile-up in turns one and two. That gave Lausen the advantage on the third restart and led from flag to flag.
Defending champion and AMSOIL driver Darrell Nelson finished 14th. Other AMSOIL Late Model sponsored drivers included A.J. Diemel (3rd), Pat Doar (10th), Joel Cryderman (15th) and Bob Richardson (25th).
The AMSOIL Late Model Series heads to Hibbing Raceway (Minn.) on Tuesday, June 10 for the second race of the season. The AMSOIL Late Model Series is sponsored by Fox 21, B105, The Fan 560, Tom Clusiau's Motors, The Shack Liquor Store, Highway 210 Auto Parts, Scott Didrickson Construction, Ashland Ford Chrysler, Duluth Lawn and Sport, Superior Beverage and Short Stop gas stations.
