DOSS WINS FINALE AT THE BULLRING


DOSS WINS FINALE AT THE BULLRING

Jeremy Doss won the 125-lap SPEARS Southwest Tour season finale as The Bullring at Las Vegas Motor Speedway closed the 2014 season on Saturday night with the West Coast Short-Track Championships.

Doss, from Upper Lake, Calif., dominated the Southwest Tour main event in much the same way he ran away with the 150-lap NASCAR Super Late Model Open Comp at The Bullring on Oct. 25. Doss, 17, grabbed the lead from Ross Strmiska on lap 70 and pulled out to a 2-second lead before a late caution bunched up the field for the final 25 laps.

“This just feels great,” Doss said. “We’ve had really good cars here the last two times we’ve been here. I can’t thank my crew enough for all their hard work.”

Doss was followed to the checkered flag by Garrett Archer, Blaine Rocha, Austin Reed and Greg Voigt. Derek Thorn, who was caught up in a multi-car wreck on the 25th lap and had to pull behind the wall for the remainder of the race, finished 22nd but clinched the Southwest Tour series championship.
