Charlie Colby just won Sunday's 100-lap PASS Outlaw Late Model event, one shortened to 94 laps in a mercy killing, but boy did the race change on lap 58.Unity Raceway track owner Ralph Nason was leading and in cruise control when he was chased down by the lapped machine driven by 3-time Unity champ Matt Lee. Lee nudged Nason in turn 4 on lap 57, and one lap later had pulled underneath Nason to try and get back on the lead lap down the backstretch. Nason slowed momentarily, and Lee dove under Nason as they headed for turn 3. The two made contact, and Nason was sent headlong into the dirt embankment as Lee continued on.
Lee was placed back on the lead lap, at the tail end, while Nason was on a wrecker and done for the day.
"I got into him a little bit, and he didn't like it," said Lee, who rallied to finish 3rd. "He gave it back to me down the straightaway. I think he cut a tire down."
"The guy got into me, so I locked the brakes up to try and get away and I went straight into the ditch," Nason said.
Not to worry, Nason fans. He made some repairs to the car and is planning to be back to start 8th for the DNK Select 150 in the same car.
Other than that, it was just your average 75-minute, 11-caution, attrition-filled PASS Outlaw race. And there's only 265 green-flag laps across 3 features left to run today.
Unofficially, the top five was Colby, Brian Whitney, Lee, Jim Rosenfield and Michael Thomas.
