NLMS: Lloyd Decimates Field in Ocala Final
Jimmy Rouse
OCALA, Fla. - Nov. 26. Ivedent Lloyd, Jr. prevailed as the
National Late Model Series Hedman Hussler Hedders Southern Dirt Tour finished its season at Bubba Raceway Park
with an intense points battle between three drivers.
Lloyd took the lead and raced out front until, on lap
eight, John Koller spun out of turn four. Lloyd led Mark Whitener and Austin Kirkpatrick at this
point, but the next 40 laps saw Lloyd completely dominate as he lapped all but Whitener's car, who at one
time was three-quarters of a lap down himself.

On lap 48 Bobby Richardson lost air in a tire and found
the turn two wall, ending Lloyd's chances of lapping the whole field. Whitener, the BRP champion, was
left with Lloyd on the lead lap as Lloyd claimed the $5000 check and the National Late Model Series
championship.
Jeff Mathews showed that he can run the Late Model with the
best and he finished third with Austin Kirkpatrick a solid fourth ahead of Jason Fitzgerald.
