Speedway Providing Staging Area for Dominion Virginia Power Repair Crews; This Weekend’s Championship Night Postponed

Jamaica, VA – Virginia Motor Speedway continues in its efforts to help in the recovery process from Hurricane Irene. Currently the speedway grounds are being used as a staging area for Dominion Virginia Power line crews as they help in restoring power to the Middle Peninsula and Northern Neck communities. Some 250 utility trucks are expected to call the pit parking area home until power is restored to the area. “Our resources, equipment and facilities are at the disposal of the local authorities. Our focus since this past weekend’s hurricane has been to help our community in its recovery efforts,” added General Manager Clarke Sawyer. “Whatever we can do to help we will do.

Officials have also announced that Truckin Thunder / Collision One / WIGO Championship Night racing activities have been postponed until Saturday, September 24th.

Williams takes checkers in late models; LaRouqe, Wood and Ender also get wins

Jamaica, VA – With the regular season drawing to a close, the battle for points and tempers heated up Saturday on Safety Kleen, NAPA of King William, National Guard Night night at Virginia Motor Speedway. The next to the final night of the 2011 Virginia Army National Guard Dirt Series racing season set the table for the championship night on Saturday September 3rd. In what turned out to be one of the best races of the year and in a race that saw five different leaders it was David Williams of Clement, MD that survived the full contact event by taking the lead on lap 28 and going on to record his second win of 2011. “The harder they are to win the sweeter they are when you do get in victory lane, that was about has hard a win as we have ever had, the competition here is so tough so being here in victory lane is that much sweeter,” commented Williams in victory lane. Williams first battled with John Staton of Chesapeake, VA for second with the two trading paint in each corner with Williams taking over that spot on lap 24. Williams then went to work on Tim Shelton of Fredericksburg, VA for the lead. Several times Williams tried to get inside Shelton for the lead only to have the door slammed on him each time. On lap 27 Williams finally got under Shelton out of turn 2 taking the lead he would not relinquish. Williams would have to fend off Staton several times before Staton had to work to hold off Adams who took over second on lap 31. Adams could not mount a challenge for the lead and Williams would take the win followed by Scott Adams, John Staton, Kenny Moreland and Walker Arthur. In other action Travis LaRogue of Mooresville, NC picked up his second Budweiser Modified win in a slugfest. In the Truckin Thunder Sportsman Tony Wood of New Kent, VA picked up his first win of the season and in the Collision One Limited Stock Car division Joe Ender of Glen Allen, VA got his first win of the season. In the Budweiser Modified 25 lap feature Travis LaRoque and Lance Grady led the field to green with Grady leading the opening lap. Caution would fly on lap 2 for a wreck in turn 4. On the restart Grady once again pulled away to take control of the lead. With Grady out front the battle was for the second spot with John Ferguson, Travis LaRoque, Brian Maxey and Dan Arnold. Grady would get company in the form of Brian Maxey as the two battled for the top spot. Maxey would try several times to get inside Grady but each time the door was slammed. On lap 19 the two races into slower traffic with Maxey making it three wide under Grady as they raced into turn 3. The two would touch sending both spinning and to the rear of the field. On the restart the race got real interesting as Ferguson and LaRoque went to beating on each other and exchanging the top spot until on lap 23 where LaRouqe took over the top spot for good holding Dan Arnold off at the line for his second win of the season. Rounding out the top 5 were Dan Arnold, Jimmy Duncan, Neal Hudgins and Chris Arnold. In the Truckin Thunder Sportsman 25 lap feature Wayne Carroll and J.R. Guy led the field to green with Guy taking the lead. Guy would hold the lead until lap 9 when Tony Wood would get inside Guy out of turn 2 with Wood taking the lead at the line. Guy would try to battle back but Wood would hold him off to keep the lead. Over the final fifteen laps Wood would have Todd Traylor on his bumper but Traylor could not make a serious challenge for the top spot. Wood would go on to collect his first win of 2011 followed by Todd Traylor, J.R. Guy, Wayne Carroll and Bubba Holloway Jr. In the Collision One Limited Stock 20 lap feature Joe Ender and Brett Adkins led the field to green with Enders leading the first circuit. The battle up front was intense with Enders, James Givens, Wesley Givens and Ryan Toole all in close proximity. On lap 7 point leader Wesley Givens and Toole got hooked together bringing out the races first caution sending both to the rear. Enders would pace the field with a comfortable cushion over James Givens and David Bowler. On a lap 18 restart Bowler would get inside Givens out of turn 2 to take over second. Givens would get into him going down the backstretch sending both into the turn 3 wall. On the final restart Ender would jump out a comfortable lead over Ricky Douglas and would cruise to the win followed by Douglas, Ryan Toole, Wesley Givens and Brandon Sandridge. Bill Sawyer’s Virginia Motor Speedway will take the weekend of August 27th off and return to action Saturday September 3rd and host Truckin Thunder, Collision One, WIGO Championship Night. It will be the last point race of the season for all four of the track’s Virginia Army National Guard Dirt Series divisions.
