Ross Bailes Holds off Late Charge by Chris Ferguson for $20,000 FASTRAK World Championship Victory; Jake Hawkins Goes Flag to Flag in Southeast Dirt Modified Series Win

Jamaica, VA – Ross Bailes of Clover, SC put on a clinic leading flag to flag to capture the $20,000 FASTRAK World Championship presented by James River Equipment victory at Bill Sawyer’s Virginia Motor Speedway. Bailes took the lead on the drop of the green flag and then held off a hard charging Chris Ferguson of Mt. Holly, NC by .985 seconds for the victory. “If you don’t have a Barry Wright ICON race car you need to get you one, this car was flawless all weekend; I can’t thank Barry Wright and the crew enough for putting such a great cat under me,” commented Bailes in WhosYourDriver.org Victory Lane The event attracted a record car count for Virginia Motor Speedway of 71 entrants. In other action Jake Hawkins of Fairmont, WV held off Chris Arnold of Matoaca, VA for his first Southeast Dirt Modified Series win and the $3000 check. Ross Bailes and Corey Almond led the 24 car field to the green with Bailes jumping to the lead out of turn 2 and Jake Hawkins following to second. The races first caution would fly on lap 3 with Hawkins blowing a motor while running second. On the restart Bailes pulled away with Ryan Montgomery working his way to second. By lap 17 Bailes was working traffic and on the following lap split two lapped cars to make it three-wide in turn 1 as he had Montgomery closing. On a lap 19 restart Almond spun in front of the field collecting Thomas Robinson and Justin Williams bring out a red flag. On the restart an eight car pile-up when one car drove over the hood of another car coming to the green caused yet another red flag and thinning the field out. On the restart Bailes pulled away from the field as Chris Ferguson began to pick off several positions over the next three laps moving to third. By the halfway point of the race Bailes had stretched his lead to a little over four seconds. On lap 38 Ferguson worked inside Montgomery on turn 3 to take over the second spot. On lap 42 Bailes came up on a side-by side battle and very patiently worked his way past them and extending his lead. With the laps winding down the car on the move was that of Tyler Bare who had been caught up in the big wreck on lap 19. By lap 48 Bare had worked his way back to sixth. On lap 52 Walker Arthur worked his way into fourth as caution came out for Daryl Charlier who slowed in turn 2 closing the gap between Bailes and Ferguson setting up an eight lap shootout for the $20,000 top prize. On the restart Ferguson tried to stay with the leader but Bailes was able to stretch his lead to four car lengths. With two to go Ferguson closed to within two car lengths. But Bailes was able to hold on for the $20,000 win. Rounding out the top five were Ferguson, Ryan Montgomery, Walker Arthur and Tyler Bare. Heat race winners were Ross Bailes, Corey Almond, Jacob Hawkins, Jensen Ford, Thomas Robinson, Ryan Montgomery, Brent Hilton and Trent Ivey. B Main winners were Joshua Bishop, Brett Hamm, Daryl Charlier and Tyler Bare. In the Southeast Dirt Modified Series 30 lap feature Jake Hawkins and Buck Stevens led the field to green with Hawkins leading the first circuit with Chris Arnold taking second in a three wide battle. Multiple cautions slowed the pace of the race with Hawkins able to hold on to the top spot each restart. Several times Arnold would get inside of Hawkins and looked to have enough momentum to get the lead only to have a caution fly. On lap 15 Arnold pulled a slide job on Hawkins in turn 2 but jumped the cushion allowing Hawkins back around to regain the lead. That bobble also allowed Ryan Ayers to get by for second. Over the final 15 laps the battle was for second back as Hawkins put it on cruise to go on to take the $3000 victory. Arnold was able to get inside Ayers out of turn 4 and nnip him at the line for second. Ayers, Jordan Taylor and Mike Reynolds rounded out the top five.

The next event will be the 13th annual Run-A-Muck Mud Bog and Mud Sling over at The Pit at Virginia Motor Speedway on Saturday October 14th.

Williams Scores Fourth Pro Late Model Victory; Polevoy Returns to Victory Lane; Shipp and Bradley Take Career First Wins

Jamaica, VA – It only took point leader Justin Williams of Concord, VA six laps to get to the front from his sixth place starting spot, but once out front Williams set it on cruise to go on and take his fourth Victory Lap Pro Late Model win of the season. “I can’ thank my crew enough for giving me such a good car, I just tried to stay out of trouble there at the beginning until we could get separated,” commented Williams in WhosyourDriver.org victory lane. The start of the 30 lap feature got off to a rocky start with a big pileup on the opening green flag. Once the field finally got underway Camden Testerman took over the top and paced the field for the first five laps before Justin Williams drove around him out of turn 4 to take the lead. Once out front Williams only have to survive a bevy of cautions before collecting his fourth win of the season.

Steve Causey took the lead on the drop of the green and led until lap 6 win Shelton swept around him to take the lead and pull away to a sizeable lead. Shipp would slowing close the gap and on a restart on lap 21 started to apply pressure on Shelton for the lead. On lap 24 Shipp got inside Shelton coming out of two and finally pulled ahead for the lead at the line. Once out front Shipp pulled away to score his career first win. Rounding out the top five were Tim Shelton, Brett Adkins, Joe Weiss and Steve Causey. Starting shotgun on the field, current Budweiser Modified point leader Joey Polevoy made it a mission to get to the front, picking off cars one by one and taking the lead from Lance Grady on lap 12. Once out front Polevoy would have to hold off a couple of late races challenges from Hunter McClendon to take home his sixth win of the season. Rounding out the top five were Hunter McClendon, Francis Jarrelle, Tim Schulte and Mike Reynolds. The Collision One Limited Stock 25 lap feature turned out to be the best race of the night as Corey Bradley and James Givens swapped the lead back and forth four times before Bradley would take hold for the final time. The two raced virtually side by side for the entire 25 lap distance. Bradley would face one final challenge on the final lap as Givens tried to get to his outside out of turn 2, Bradley countered and went on to score his career first win.
