Las Vegas Bullring notes 2004-08-21

Two-time Super Bowl champion posts fourth win at the Bullring

LAS VEGAS--Former San Francisco 49ers kicker and two-time Super Bowl champion Mike Cofer earned his fourth Super Late Model win at Mascot Night at the Bullring at Las Vegas Motor Speedway for the NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series Saturday night.

Cofer qualified third for the 50-lap Super Late Model feature, but started fourth after the six-car invert. Mike Ray, Cofer and Spencer Clark battled for the lead. On lap eight Cofer took command from race leader Ray and never looked back. Cofer took the checkered flag followed by Thane Alderman and Chuck Trickle.

"It really feels good to have a car that quick. We've been chasing our tail for most of the season so it sure feels good to win. We were strong early on in the year and then everyone caught up," said Cofer in Summit Racing Equipment Victory Lane. "We really concentrated to get into turns three and four. That's where I was gaining ground. Once I found my sweet spot the car ran great."

Several mascots from the valley including Las Vegas Wranglers' The Duke, Las Vegas 51's Cosmo, Las Vegas Gladiators' Gladius, KB Home's Happy House and The Orleans Hotel and Casino's Big Al joined LVMS' Pit Boss for a scooter race and a dance contest.

Pro Legends Cars driver Taylor Barton finished second followed by Pro drivers Jimmy Parker Jr. and Alex Haase.

Dustin Ash posted his 12th Semi-Pro Legends Cars win in the 25-lap main event. Josh Gross finished second followed by Justin Cicchini and Derek Frohlich.
