Chuck Bowie Scores Pro Late Model Victory at Virginia Motor Speedway; Lipscombe, Harris, and Maxey also Visit Victory Lane

Jamaica, VA – Chuck Bowie of Welcome, MD drove a perfect race, taking the lead on lap three from leader Vaughan Haywood and then held off Defending Champion Justin Williams to score his career first Victory Lap Pro Late Model victory at Virginia Motor Speedway. On the drop of the green flag, Bowie followed Haywood into second. Bowie got his chance to grab the lead with an inside move on Haywood in turn three on lap three. Once out front, Bowie would work traffic to perfection to keep Williams behind him in second. Several cautions were the only time Williams would have a chance to take the top spot from Bowie. “It wasn’t as easy as it looked; when you have Justin Williams behind you, you have to be smooth. I can’t thank my wife enough for giving me an amazing car tonight; we have been close this year, and to finally get the win is amazing. Especially with the caliber of talent, we have here,” commented winner Chuck Bowie in WhosYourDriver.org victory lane. Rounding out the top five were Justin Williams, Ray Love Jr., Matt Glanden, and Jeremy Pilkerton. In other action, Davis Lipscombe of Mechanicsville, VA, made it two in a row in the Truckin Thunder Sportsman division, taking the lead from fast qualifier Kacey Gordon of Fredericksburg, VA, on lap 11 and go on to the win. In the Budweiser Modified division Josh Harris of Gloucester, VA, held off Lance Grady for the victory. And in the Collision One Limited Stock Cars, Brian Maxey of Fredericksburg, VA, grabbed the lead from Ryan Hutchens on lap ten and then went on to his second win in a row. Jeff Solinger and Josh Harris led the Budweiser Modifieds to the green flag, with Harris leading the first lapped, followed by Brandon Galloway. Teammates Harris and Galloway would pull away from the field with Solinger, Chase Butler, defending champion Hunter McClendon, and Lance Grady, all in the battle for third. By lap 15, Grady had closed to within a couple of car lengths. On lap 16, Harris would make contact with a lapped car but kept his advantage over Grady. With 2 to go, Grady would make one last push to grab the top spot, but Harris was up to the task and went on to score the win. Rounding out the top five were Grady, Solinger, Butler, and Bret Hamilton. Davis Lipscombe of Mechanicsville, VA, has returned to the Truckin Thunder Sportsman division with a vengeance. After convincingly taking the week one win and having to wait an extra week due to a rainout, he returned and scored yet another convincing win. Lipscombe would work his way to the front by lap 8. Lipscombe went to work on Kacey Gordon for second; the two would get together on the front stretch with Gordon holding the spot. Ahead of them, leader Tyler Shipp would get out of shape out of turn 2, allowing Gordon to take the lead with Lipscombe following to second. As the two raced down the backstretch, they split a slower car with Lipscombe using the high side to take the lead. Once out front Lipscombe would stretch out his lead and go on to the win. Rounding the top five were Kacey Gordon, Tyler Shipp, Steve Causey, and Tim Shelton. Brian Maxey took over the top spot from Ryan Hutchens on lap ten after making several attempts. Once out front, Maxey worked traffic to perfection to go on to take his second win in a row. Rounding out the top five were Hutchens, Cory Bradley, Jay Seward, and Brandon Bowler. The speedway will take the Memorial Day Weekend off to celebrate with friends and family.

Brandon Overton Scores $20,000 Virginia Is For Racing Lovers King of the Commonwealth Victory; Carson Ferguson Scores $3000 FASTRAK Win

Brandon Overton Scores $20,000 Virginia Is For Racing Lovers King of the Commonwealth Victory; Carson Ferguson Scores $3000 FASTRAK Win

Jamaica, VA – Brandon Overton of Evans, GA, is making a habit of winning at Virginia Motor Speedway. With the Virginia Is For Racing Lovers King of the Commonwealth win, Overton has now won the last three marquee events in a row at the ½ mile speed plant. Overton would fall back to ninth before working his way back to the front, passing Jimmy Ownes of Newport, TN, on lap 40 for the lead. Overton would fend off Owens with ten laps to go to score his second career, King of the Commonwealth triumph, and $20,000 paycheck in front of a fantastic crowd. The win did not come easily for Overton, however. Overton fell back in the field in the early stages, conserving his tires and equipment in the 60-lap feature for a late charge. However, even Overton believed he might have given up too much at the start of the race. “I sure know how to make it hard on myself,” said Overton in victory lane. I was sitting in a pretty good spot, and I had a game plan. I was just going to sit there and take it easy for a little bit. I got back to about eighth or ninth and said, ‘Damn, I’ve really screwed this up.’ My car was really good. I just kept the tires on it and made sure I didn’t wad it up when I fell back a little bit.” Overton has now won $90,000 across Virginia Motor Speedway’s last three marquee Dirt Late Model events with the win. While the track’s 2020 season was lost due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Overton won the $20,000 USA 100 and the $50,000 FASTRAK World Championship in 2019. “I love this place, man. I love racing here. I always seem to do good. There was a lot of pressure going into this weekend; there were a lot of good cars here. I’m just really fortunate to drive good race cars for good people.” G.R. Smith of Cornelious, NC, started on the pole and led the first 34 laps before a mechanical issue (lost driveshaft) forced him to the infield for the night, handing the lead over to Owens. Over the next six laps, Overton made several attempts to get by Owens for the lead, finally securing the top spot with a pass out of turn 2 to take over the top spot. Owens would finish second to Overton, making the most of the last-minute decision to compete for the Virginia Is For Racing Lovers King of the Commonwealth crown but falling short of the $20,000 prize. “It was definitely last-minute,” said Owens. “We didn’t know what we were going to do. I actually forgot about this race here, then I was like, Maybe we can capitalize on $20,000-to-win. Ownes added, “the car was really great tonight. We probably just went a little too hard, too early. We had a pretty good car at the end, but not as good as Brandon’s. Hats off to him; he had a great weekend.” Josh Richards of Shinnston, WV, finished third after making the long haul to Virginia for the King of the Commonwealth. Richards held second twice, both times battling Smith for the lead but couldn’t get by to take the top spot. “I drove 985 miles to get here. I just can’t thank these guys enough. I hadn’t been here in 10 years. We had a pretty good car there. I was hoping to get by G.R. [Smith] earlier; we might have been able to ride it out a little bit. I think I got my tire hot and couldn’t fire good enough on those restarts. I was next to Brandon and then Jimmy. I was able to hold on to third there.” Rounding out the top five were Tim McCreadie and Gregg Satterlee. Heats race winners were G.R. Smith, Tim McCreadie, Brandon Overton, and Josh Richards. B Main winners were Dustin Mitchell and Ross Bailes. The competitors of the FASTRAK Racing Series powered by Chevrolet Performance put on what could be considered the race of the night as Carson Ferguson, Jeremey Pilkerton, Ray Love, Matt Quade, and Justin Williams battled in three and four-wide at times for the top spot. Carson Ferguson of Charlotte, NC, the 2018 FASTRAK national touring champion, held off an emotionally charged drive by Jeremy Pilkerton, who was racing with a lot of emotions after his father Jeff suffered a heart attack last weekend. For Ferguson, the opening laps were stressful as he swapped the lead with Ray Love Jr multiple times over the first ten laps. Once out front, Ferguson had to work through heavy traffic to maintain his lead over the battle for second place. The second and final caution came out with a hand full of laps giving Pilkerton another shot at the top spot. On the final restart, Ferguson would survive several challenges from Pilkerton and a hard-charging Justin Williams to secure the $3000 Virginia Is For Racing Lover King of the Commonwealth victory. His second special event victory at the pristine Virginia Motor Speedway came a little different than his first, this time having the dominant car. His first came in May of 2019 when coming to the checkers, then-leader Layton Sullivan blew his right rear tire coming to the checkers, handing the lead, and win to Ferguson. The Speedway will return to weekly racing action this coming Saturday, May 22, and host week 3 of Dirt Series Championship weekly racing action featuring the Victory Lap Pro Late Model, Truckin Thunder Sportsman, Budweiser Modified, and Collision One Limited Stock Car divisions. Admission price for adults is only $12, seniors (60+) $10; military (active/retired w/ proper I.D.) $8, students 11 – 17 years old $6 and children 10 and under admitted free. Pit passes will be $25.
