Jamaica, VA – Matt Quade of Avenue, VA, grabbed the lead on the opening lap and led flag to flag to score his second Victory Lap Pro Late Model win of the season. With only one caution on lap 4 Quade kept a steady pace in front of the battle for second between Chuck Bowie, Justin Williams, and Jeremy Pilkerton. With the action behind him, Quade cruised to the win.

“The car drove the best it has driven all year; I can’t thank my dad and crew for all the work they put on this car; I could drive it anywhere it needed to go,” commented Quade in WhosYourDriver.org victory lane.

Justin Williams of Concord, VA, was crowned the 2021 Victory Lap Pro Late Model Champion. His third division championship in a row.

“We had a great year considering the caliber of talent we have here (Virginia Motor Speedway0, I can’t think my crew for all the work they put into this week end and week out,” commented Williams when asked about his championship season.

No one has ever gone undefeated, that is until Davis Lipscombe of Mechanicsville, VA, parked his #71 in WhosYourDriver.org victory lane for the seventh time in a row. This victory did not come easy, though, as Lipcombe got caught up in a wreck on the opening lap. That sent him to the rear for the restart. Several cautions helped Lipscombe work through some of the slower traffic. On a lap 9 restart, Tim Shelton worked inside Tyler Shipp for the lead, with Lipscombe following to second. On the following lap, Lipscombe took the lead from Shelton. A caution on lap 25 closed the field up on the leader’s tail. On the restart, Shelton gave Lipscombe a boot heading into turn 1, allowing Shelton to take the lead. On the next lap Lipscombe would take back the lead from Shelton. Over the next three laps, the two raced side-by-side until Lipscombe took control out of the final corner to score the victory and remain undefeated. Rounding out the top five were Shelton, Tyler Shipp, Matt Ashworth, and Matt Meads.
