Tony Stewart Scores $12,000 Thursday Night Thunder Victory; Daniel Parker Takes Sri Dirt Cup Challenge Ump Modified Win

Tony Stewart Scores $12,000 Thursday Night Thunder Victory; Daniel Parker Takes Sri Dirt Cup Challenge Ump Modified Win

JAMAICA, Va. (April 15, 2021) – Just as then-leader Justin Peck was about to secure a second consecutive FloRacing All Star Circuit of Champions presented by Mobil 1 victory, disaster struck, in the form of a flat right rear tire. A mere 100 yards from Virginia Motor Speedway’s Flagstad, forcing him to surrender the point to three-time NASCAR Cup Series champion Tony Stewart. The victory, Stewart’s first with “America’s Series” in 2021 and his first at the Virginia speedplant, earned the Columbus, Indiana-native a $12,000 payday; his first Series triumph since his $26,000 Rayce Rudeen Foundation Race score at 34 Raceway in 2019. “We weren’t the fastest car by any means. We figured out early that it would be a tricky surface and ultimately a challenge for tires. I just tried to run my car straighter than those guys ahead of me,” commented Tony Stewart in WhosYourDriver.org Victory Lane. Stewart added, “We could see that (Justin Peck’s) tire was getting pretty worn. I could see the cords, so I told myself if he can run the car that hard and make it work, good for him. Being second while trying to save tires was going to be a good night for us.” Stewart, who started eighth, took advantage of Peck’s misfortune by being in the right place at the right time, but the pilot of the Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian Racing No. 14 sprint car also survived a 30-lap battle with tire wear. Adding to the last lap drama, All Star officials conducted the race’s final lap in green-checkered fashion as a caution on the final circuit forced the field to restack for a final lunge toward the finish. Kerry Madsen, who started 12th, followed Stewart by Peck to secure the runner-up spot just before the flag stand. Peck ultimately limped across the line to finish third, his blown tire still intact, followed by Chase Dietz and Paul McMahan, who each advanced 12 positions over the 30-lap contest. Heat race winners were Tony Stewart, Bill Balog, and Justin Peck. B-Main winner was CJ Leary, and Cory Eliason won the dash. Danny Dietrich was the Dixie Vodka Fast Qualifier with a lap of 15.299 seconds. In other action, Daniel Parker of Raeford, NC, took the lead from Motoaca, VA’s Chris Arnold on Lap 26 of the 40-lap feature to go on and take the $3000 win. Chris Arnold and defending track Champion Hunter McClendon led the field to green, with Arnold taking the point as he two raced out of turn 4. As Arnold pulled away from the battle for second between McClendon, Jimmy Jesmer, Daniel Parker, Austin Holcombe, and Tyler Bare heated up. Parker secured second by lap 18 and set out to reel in Arnold. On lap 23, Parker got inside Arnold in turn 2, and the two raced side by side until Parker took the spot for good on lap 26. A late caution on lap 31 tightened the field on Parker’s bumper. Arnold made one last charge on the restart by getting under him in turn four only to see Parker sweep the outside to maintain the lead and go on to the win. Rounding out the top five were Chris Arnold, Hunter McClendon, Austin Holcombe, and Jimmy Jesmer. The speedway will return to racing Saturday, April 24, to host week 2 of Dirt Series Championship racing. The night will feature the Victory Lap Pro Late Model, Truckin Thunder Sportsman, Budweiser Modified, and Collision One Limited Stock car divisions in action. Competitor gates for Thursday, April 24, open at 3 PM with spectator gates opening at 5 PM. On track, activities will begin at 6:30 PM with hot laps.

“Big Sexy” Brandon Overton Claims Big Payday at FASTRAK World Championship; Nick Hoffman Scores Dirt Cup Challenge Victory

“Big Sexy” Brandon Overton Claims Big Payday at FASTRAK World Championship; Nick Hoffman Scores Dirt Cup Challenge Victory

(Story by Zach Evans, Speed51.com Southeast Editor & Dave Seay) JAMAICA, VA – More than 100 drivers showed up at Virginia Motor Speedway to compete for the richest prize in Dirt Pro Late Model racing, the 2019 FASTRAK World Championship presented by James River Equipment. At night’s end, Brandon Overton returned to victory lane at the Jamaica, Virginia half-mile, claiming the $50,000 prize. Overton, a winner earlier this year at Virginia in the ULTIMATE Super Late Model Series USA 100, arrived in a one-off appearance driving Grant Pearl’s Pro Late Model. Overton showed dominant pace all weekend, finishing first and second in a pair of heat races to earn a front-row feature starting spot. Overton quickly took the lead from pole-sitter Logan Roberson, holding off Ross Bailes throughout the night to pick up one of the biggest wins of his career. While “Big Sexy” has won a $50,000 race before, he was ecstatic to be able to do so in a Pro Late Model race, returning to his roots in a monumental event for the FASTRAK Racing Series. “I’ve won $50,000 before at the Hillbilly, but this is awesome for Stan and everybody at FASTRAK and everybody at Virginia Motor Speedway,” said Overton in victory lane. “To put $50,000 up for a Crate race, everybody thinks it’s easy to come out here and jump these guys, but it ain’t. I’m just one of the ones fortunate enough to have people support me to go Super racing. This is where I came from, so if Stan’s going to put this race on, I’m going to support it.” Overton held off Bailes on several restarts throughout the 75-lap feature and tipped his cap to the fellow Super Late Model standout for a clean, hard-fought race. “I appreciate him racing me clean on those restarts,” said Overton. “Hats off to them guys. This is awesome. I’m starting to like Virginia Motor Speedway, that’s for sure.” Bailes finished second in the event, content with his car and impressed with Overton’s performance. “I’d like to be holding that check,” said Bailes. “Second is not a bad payout. We had a pretty good car; I think we were as good as [Overton]. I tried to get him on the restarts. Once he had me cleared, I was kind of trying to save my tires, but he had a lot more left than I did so maybe I was going too hard.” Trent Ivey rounded out the podium, finishing third after starting ninth and battling traffic throughout the race. “A couple of driver errors early put me behind the eight-ball, I really had to battle for my position,” explained Ivey. “That cost me at the end. I had to use my tires up. I felt I was about as good as them, but third place, I can’t complain.” Justin Williams finished fourth, while 2018 FASTRAK World Champion Logan Roberson rounded out the top five. In the $6000 to win Dirt Cup Challenge UMP Modified 40 lap feature, Nick Hoffman took the lead on lap 22 from Christian Thomas as the two exited turn 4. Once out front Hoffman was able to pull away to capture the win and possibly clinch the UMP Modified National Championship in the process. “Christian is one of my customers, and he ran a really good race out there. Once David (Stremme) got in front of me I knew I kinda chose the wrong line on there on that restart after the first time, but I just let them guys go. I knew it was going to be little abrasive on tires and I just watched them guys hustle their stuff way too hard at the beginning there and I just kinda cruised you know. Man the second half of the race I kinda had to go, man I could go anywhere. This thing (car) would go anywhere,” commented Hoffman in WhosYourDriver.org victory lane. Chris Arnold and Christian Thomas led the field to green with Thomas taking the lead with Nick Hoffman in tow. On lap 4 Arnold slowed as the field headed into turn one with David Stremme just narrowly missing Arnold as he limped his car to the infield. The races first caution would come out on lap 6 for a stopped car in turn 4. On the restart Stremme dove under Hoffman in turn 1, taking over second. Thomas paced the field as they raced two and three wide behind him. On lap 19 Hoffman would finally find his way around Stremme for second. Hoffman then set out to reel in Thomas. On lap 20 Hoffman began looking for a way around Thomas. That chance came on lap 22 as Hoffman drove under Thomas in turn 4 to take the lead at the line. Once Hoffman cleared Thomas for the lead, he began to stretch out his advantage over the field. A couple of cautions gave Stremme a chance to get by Hoffman on the restart, but Hoffman was up for the challenge. Hoffman would go on to take the $6000 Dirt cup Challenge win and potentially the UMP Modified National Championship in the process. “We may be really close to it (UMP Modified National Point Championship), we’ve got three more weeks, and one of my customers is in second, and he is running a max point show tonight in Missouri. It’s going to come down to him or me,“ commented Hoffman when asked about clinching the national championship. David Stremme, Taylor Cook, Christian Thomas, and Daniel Parker rounded out the top five. The 2019 Dirt Series Championship weekly racing season at Virginia Motor Speedway has concluded. The next event will be the 16th annual Run-A-Muck Mud Bog and Mud Sling over at The Pit at Virginia Motor Speedway on Saturday October 5th. Eleven divisions will compete at the state-of-art mud bog facility. Steve Sims in Stone Chrusher will be on hand for a bone-crushing monster truck freestyle show.

Redemption for Billy Hubbard with Pro Late Model Win at Virginia Motor Speedway; Arnold, Adkins and Bradley also take Wins

Jamaica, VA – The last time Billy Hubbard of Cobbs Creek, VA came across as the winner in the Victory Lap Pro Late Models at Virginia Motor Speedway the win was taken away due to being three pounds light at the scales. This time Hubbard would clear scales and score a measure of redemption with a convincing win over Justin Williams of Concord, VA. Hubbard would grab the lead on the opening lap and then had to survive several restarts before taking the win. “This feels good to get back to victory lane after what happened at the last race; we were light, and that’s the rules, but we learned something, and hopefully it means good things for us the rest of the season,” commented Hubbard in WhosYourDriver.org victory lane. Rounding out the top five were Justin Williams, Corey Almond, Matt Glanden and Jared Powell. In other action Brett Adkins of Saluda, VA scored his first Truckin Thunder Sportsman win of the season holding off Joe Weiss of Elizabeth City, NC over the final ten laps; in the Budweiser Modified 30 lap feature Chris Arnold of Matoaca, VA pulled a slider on Francis Jarrelle of Henrico, VA to take the lead on the opening lap and taking home a convincing win over Hunter McClendon of Williamsburg, VA; and in the Collision One Limited Stock Car 25 lap feature Cory Bradley of Hopewell, VA led flag to flag to score his second victory of the season. Billy Hubbard and Matt Glanden led the Victory Lap Late Model field to green with Hubbard jumping to the lead. Two laps later Justin Williams grabbed second when Glanden slid up the track in turn 4. Three laps later Williams would begin pressuring Hubbard for the lead, each time being turned away. On lap 9 the races first caution flew for a stopped Chuck Bowie. By lap 15 Hubbard had worked to a five car length advantage over Williams and the field. A caution on lap 18 closed the field on Hubbard’s bumper for the restart. On the restart, Williams would take a shot at Hubbard only to lose the front end of his car and allow Hubbard to pull away to a four car length advantage. On lap 25 Hubbard began to close in on lapped traffic with an eight car length lead over Williams. A caution on lap 29 once again allowed the field to close on Hubbard. On the restart Hubbard would pull away by a couple car lengths only to have the caution come out again. On the restart Williams stayed close to Hubbard, at least for next lap. Hubbard then kept four car lengths between himself and Williams as he went on to score his first win since 2014. Justin Williams, Corey Almond, In the Truckin Thunder Sportsman 30 lap feature Brett Adkins and Chase Burrow led the field to green with Adkins leading the first lap followed by Burrow and Joe Weiss. Adkins paced the field with Weiss working his way to second on lap 3. Weiss would close on Adkins and on lap 19 began to work inside Adkins for the lead. Multiple times Weiss would get to Adkins inside only to have Adkins hold on at the line each time. On lap 26 Weiss got a great run under Adkins in turn 2 and had a slight lead heading into turn 3. The two would touch and Weiss would let out the gas not wanting to wreck him sending him sideways and allowing Adkins to pull away. Adkins would go on to score his first win of the season followed by Weiss, Burrow, Tyler Shipp and Steve Causey rounding out the top 5. In the Budweiser Modified 30 lap feature Francis Jarrelle and Chase Butler led the field to green with Chris Arnold completing a slider in turn 3 to take the lead from Jarrelle to lead the first lap. Arnold would have to fend off Hunter McClendon late in the race after several cautions but the only thing that would slow Arnold during the night would be lapped traffic late in the race as he went on to score a convincing flag to flag win over Hunter McClendon, Brandon Galloway, Francis Jarelle and Jeff Solinger. In the Collision One Limited Stock Car 25 lap feature with Brandon Bowler and Cory Bradley leading the field to green. Bradley would rocket to the lead out of turn 2 with Bowler three car lengths back. Fast qualifier James Givens would work his way from eighth to third with an inside move on Chad Champion on lap 7. Bradley and Bowler would pull away from Givens and the rest of the field by lap 16. Best race of the night was a family feud between Chad Champion and Chris Champion as the two traded the fourth spot multiple times before Chris would hold the spot for good. No one had anything for Bradley as he went on to score his second win of the season in a caution free event. Bowler, Givens, Chris Champion and Chad Champion rounded out the top 5.
