Coleman Motorsports looks forward to racing in Laughlin, NV each year and loved every minute of their weekend at this year’s SNORE’s Rage at the River! Thursday night, the Golden Nugget hosted a “Meet and Greet” where driver Jason Coleman set the #1600 race car on display and handed out stickers to fans. The pre-run was on Friday and the course looked fast causing the excitement to grow for the two day short course race. Knowing how many cars were entered for the main event, Coleman Motorsports got in line for tech inspection and contingency early in order to avoid the inevitable long line. Tech inspection always goes smoothly with SNORE when you follow procedures! The last mandatory item to attend before the big race was the driver’s meeting. There was a huge turnout which was to be expected by the entry list. All of the rules were presented clearly and the drivers all looked forward to an awesome race day in the morning. Driver Jason Coleman and his co-dawg Jeremy Munyon started 12th off the line for Class 1/2 1600 on Saturday morning. The cars started two at time every 20 seconds, which made for an exciting race! The 1st lap was the slowest lap for Coleman Motorsports as there was a lot of traffic and dust to fight through. But after that first lap, Jason charged through the field and set the fast lap for the weekend for class 1/2 1600! Coleman Motorsports finished Saturday in 2nd physically and on time was only 14 seconds behind the winner of day one Luke McMillin.
To mix it up, on Sunday, SNORE inverted the top 10 finishers which put Coleman Motorsports on the line with Luke McMillin in the 5th row. After losing the holeshot, Jason and Luke diced back and forth for the first two laps. By lap 3 Jason had begun working his way through traffic once again and he didn’t stop until he got to post-tech. As all of the racers finished one by one for class 1/2 1600, everyone waited to hear who had come out on top. SNORE’s race director Bill Shapley silenced the crowd when he walked out holding the results. “For the weekend…… 1st place……. #1600 Jason Coleman”. The Coleman Motorsports team jumped and yelled and celebrated as everyone knew how close the race was. Coleman Motorsports had won the weekend by 5 seconds!
Coleman Motorsports finished the 2011 SNORE season with a respectable 3rd place in class 1/2 1600 points and 4th overall. The top 3 in class were within 52 points! “We had set out for a repeat championship this year and we came very close but at the end of the day it wasn’t enough. We proved a lot with our success this season and we look forward to another great season next year,” said Jason Coleman.
The team would like to thank the dedicated members that make up Coleman Motorsports. Without you, we would have nothing.
