by: Jason Sealock
Chris Lane had a long night before the kickoff of the Lake Dardanelle Elite Series in Russellville, Ark. Firefighters responded to a call around 2 a.m. Thursday, May 15 when someone in a nearby hotel saw a fire raging in the back of a bass boat at the Super 8 Motel in Russellville. The rear of Elite Series pro Chris Lane’s boat apparently caught fire and burned up his outboard, rear of his boat and other equipment. The cause of the fire has yet to be determined, but police and fire officials are investigating at this time.
