15-year old Jeremy Doss Schools RMCS Field for Second Win of the Season

May 20, 2012 - PRLog -- For the second time this season, Jeremy Doss from Upper Lake, CA was triumphant in the CarbonX Rocky Mountain Challenge Series. Jeremy Doss started 15th on the grid and methodically worked his way to the front by lap 65 at Meridian (ID) Speedway to claim the victory in the  fourth annual NAPA Auto Parts Treasure Valley "100".

Numerous caution flags slowed the action on the tight and tricky quarter-mile paved oval but nothing seemed to rattle the youngster as he was clearly the class of the field. Following Doss to the line was Craig Bell who made his first start of the season and led most of the first half of the race. Bruce Quale finished third after having to make several pit stops for repairs due to an incident early in the event.

John Nesmith finished fourth and for a time looked to have played the right strategy making his way to the lead on lap 60 but was involved in an incident a lap later and had to pit for adjustments. And rounding out the top five was Rick Fowble as he recorded his first top five finish of the season and third top ten performance this year.

The rest of the top ten included Thane Alderman, Tyler Monroe, Tyler Bailey, Lee Hackney, and Steve Jones. Trevor Cristiana from California was the quick qualifier winning the Sharp Powder Coating Fast Time Award. Cristiani looked to have the car to beat as he had worked worked his way in the top seven by lap 40 but was involved in an incident ending his night.

By virtue of his third place finish, Bruce Quale takes over the point lead after three races with a 35-point advantage over Steve Jones. Nesmith sits third just three points behind Jones with Doss moving up to the fourth position 84-points back. Thane Alderman rounds out the top five in the standings.
