Jeremy Pilkerton would take second and set out to catch Bowie with the laps winding down. Bowie would go on to score the win ahead of Pilkerton, Billy Hubbard, Nick Davis, and Curtis Hughes. “This is only the second race on this car, after wrecking it at Hagerstown Speedway a couple of weeks ago; I can’t thank my wife for all the hard work she puts into making this car go fast,” commented Bowie in Virginia Is For Racing Lovers victory lane. After the invert, Nick Davis and Billy Hubbard led the field to green. Davis would take control out of turn 2 and lead the first circuit. On the next lap, Jeremy Pilkerton would get under Bud Stonson for second and set out to close in on the leader. By lap 6, Bowie’s lead was whittled down to two car lengths.

Pilkerton would drive it deep into turn 1 on the final lap, closing the gap and looking inside as they raced out of turn 2. In turn 3, Pilkerton again drove it in deep, this time trying the outside of Davis. Pilkerton would get door to door as the two raced to the line but would lose by about a nose. After going over the scales, Davis was found to be light and was Dq’d, giving the win to Pilkerton. Rounding out the top five were Chuck Bowie, Bud Stinson, Jarrett Edwards, and Curtis Hughes. “I hate winning this way; this is Davis’s win. But we will take the win and second place finish in the first race and work to be better next race,” commented Pilkerton in Virginia Is For Racing Lovers victory lane. In the Budweiser Modified 25-lap feature, it didn’t take long for Chase Butler of Mechanicsville, VA, to get to the front from his fourth-place starting position, catching race leader Doug Penny of Vass, NC, on lap three as he went to the outside to take the lead. Once in the lead, Butler pulled away with Penny in tow, and the battle for third heating up.

Tim Shelton of Fredericksburg, VA, worked his way to Adkins bumper by lap 8. Shelton would try high and low to get by for several laps to take the lead.

Dillon Brown Scores Career Best Win With $5000 to win FASTRAK King of the Commonwealth victory; Hamilton, Shelton, and Brooks Also Pick Up Victories

Jamaica, VA – Dillon Brown of Gaffney, SC, pulled out the broom at Virginia Motor Speedway, setting fast time, winning his heat, and leading thirty-nine of the 40-lap FASTRAK King of the Commonwealth at Virginia Motor Speedway for the $5000 victory. It didn’t come easy as he had to fend off Tyler Bare of Rockbridge Baths, VA, over the last 8 laps to take the win. “I have always thought this place owed be one, we’ve been really good here but never had the finish we wanted, or we get wrecked out somehow. I thought I gave it away there at the end and told myself you better not give this away,” commented Brown in Virginia Is For Racing Lovers victory lane. Dillon Brown and Corey Almond led the field to green, with Brown grabbing the lead. Brown held a sizeable lead for most of the first 14 laps. On a lap 14 restart, Almond rocketed past Brown in turn 2 to take the lead on lap 15. That lead would be short-lived as Brown would get back inside for the lead on the next lap. Once out front, Brown began to pull away again. By lap 20, Brown held a full straightaway lead over Almond and Tyler Bare. On lap 22, Bare and Almond made contact in turn 2, with Bare coming out with the position and Jeremy Pilkerton sliding by for third. Behind the two leaders, Almond and Ray Love Jr. waged a side-by-side battle for four laps for fourth. Over the next five laps, Nick Davis joined in the battle for fourth making it three wide at times. While they battled for fourth, Brown, Bare, and Pilkerton pulled away. It looked like Brown would cruise to the win, but a caution on lap 32 closed Bare up on his bumper. On the restart, Bare would get better runs off of turn 2 but could not get close enough to pass for the lead. Brown would finally pull away by two car lengths heading to the white flag, and went on to score the $5000 victory over Tyler Bare, Jeremy Pilkerton, Ray Love, Jr., and Corey Almond. Heat race wins went to Dillon Brown, Corey Almond, and Jacob Brown. Dillon Brown won the Pop Bit Fast qualifier award and received an extra $100. In the Budweiser Modified 25-lap feature, Bret Hamilton of Powhatan, VA, jumped to the lead heading into turn 1 up on the high side. Hamilton led every lap of the feature, but the win didn’t come easy. On lap 5 Chase Butler of Mechanicsville, VA, used the cushion to get past Doug Penny of Vass, NC, for second and set out to catch the leader. On a lap 9 restart, Butler tried the inside of Hamilton in turn 1 but couldn’t complete the pass. Butler’s next chance came on lap 12 when he tried to complete a slide job in turn 2. After that, Hamilton kept Butler at a car-length distance all the way to the checkers, picking up the win. Rounding out the top five were Doug Penny, Rick Hulson, and Lance Grady.
