On lap 35, Hoffman went outside Falloway in turn 4 to take the lead and went on to take the win. “This is a new car; we only put it together three days ago for Drake Troutman. We decided to bring it out and shake it down. I was confident I could get the win; it felt good to grab this win, commented Nick Hoffman in Virginia is for Racing Lovers Victory Lane. Russell Erwin and Dustin Mitchell led the Vision Wheels Steel Block Bandits Dirt Late Model Challenge field to green, picking up the lead out of turn two. Several cautions slowed the pace for the first nine laps.

On the restart, Mitchell got a great jump, but Erwin kept pace with the leader. On lap 19 Mitchell’s race would come to an end as he slowed heading into turn one, handing the lead over to Erwin. Erwin pulled away from Jamie Lathroum on the restart, and Tyler Bare went from fifth to third. With 10 to go, Bare pulled within two car lengths when another caution came out. On the restart, Erwin would get an amazing restart and pull away by four car lengths over Bare.

By lap five, Falloway had pulled out to a three-second lead. The race’s first caution would come out for a stopped car in turn three, closing the field back up on Falloway’s bumper. By lap 13, the leaders started working lapped traffic. Several times Hoffman got next to Falloway, but lapped cars would keep him from taking over the top spot. On lap 25 a caution flew for Todd Neiheiser who slowed in turn two with mechanical issues, ending his night. On the restart, Falloway and Hoffman began to pull away from the field. On lap 27, they came out of turn four side by side, with Galloway holding on. In turn one, Hoffman put a slide job on Falloway only to have Falloway cross back over to keep the lead. With five laps to go, Falloway and Hoffman were nose to tail. Heading into turn four, Hoffman went to the bottom and got under Falloway to take the lead at the line.

In the Truckin Thunder Sportsman 20 lap feature, Hunter Wright and Tyler Shipp led the field to green, with Wright grabbing the lead out of turn 2.

Trevor Collins Takes Pro Late Model Win; Hamilton, Adkins, and Brooks Also Grab Wins. Pilkerton, Butler, Adkins and Brooks Crowned Champions

Jamaica, VA – With a great crowd in attendance for Joe Hudson’s Collision Center Championship Night, Trevor Collins of Loveville, MD, set fast time, got inverted to fourth, led the first lap, and went on to lead flag to flag to take his first career Victory Lap Pro Late Model win at Virginia Motor Speedway. “We have been trying for years to win here; we finally put it all together, and man, it feels good,” commented Collins in Virginia Is for Racing Lovers victory lane. Point leader Jeremy Pilkerton of Loveville, MD, had a close call on lap 27 of the 30-lap feature when Billy Hubbard of Cobbs Creek, VA, barreled down into turn 3 with the two banging together. Pilkerton would gather it back up, fall in behind Hubbard, and finish sixth, securing the 2023 Victory Lap Pro Late Model Championship by 3 points over Hubbard. “When I got passed by those two cars, I knew I was going to have to slow down going into turn 3 and that Hubbard was going to drive it in deep. I figured that if I just kept the car straight, I would be OK. It feels great to get this Championship,” commented Jeremy Pilkerton. Pilkerton and Hubbard led the field to green, getting together on the backstretch, with Trevor Collins getting by to take the lead with Pilkerton in second. On lap 5, Davis Lipscombe got by Pilkerton for second and set out to catch Collins. On the next lap, Lipscombe got inside Collins in turn 1, but that was the closest he would get the rest of the race. On lap 23, Lipscombe and Pilkerton battled for second as Collins pulled away. On a lap 24 restart, Pilkerton lost third to Corey Almond and fourth to Nick Davis. Heading into turn 3, Pilkerton had to get on the binders, allowing Billy Hubbard to dive in under him, with the two getting together. Hubbard would get by, with Pilkerton following right behind him. Collins would take the win, followed by Davis Lipscombe, Corey Almond, Nick Davis, and Billy Hubbard. Pilkerton was crowned the 2023 Champion, his first at Virginia Motor Speedway. The Budweiser Modified 25-lap feature came down to the last lap with point leader Chase Butler of Mechanicsville, VA, trying a slide-job on leader Bret Hamilton of Powhatan, VA in turn 3. Hamilton was able to turn back down under Butler in turn 3, making it three-wide with a lapped car as they came to the line, with Hamilton grabbing the win by .029 seconds. Rounding out the top five were Butler, Scott Heath, Michael Pappas, and Jeff Solinger. Chase Butler was crowned the 2023 Budweiser Modified Champion, his third Championship in a row. In the Truckin Thunder Sportsman 25-lap feature, Brett Adkins of Saluda, VA, took the lead from Matt Meads of Elizabeth City, NC, on lap 7. For the next 4 laps, Adkins would race side-by-side with Meads while point leader Steve Causey of Smithfield, VA, rode in third. On lap 14, Causey got past Meads to catch Adkins, who had checked out. A caution closed Causey up on the bumper of Adkins. On the restart, Causey got under Adkins, and the two raced side-by-side until back into turn 1 with one to go. Causey stayed on Adkin’s bumper heading into turn three when a car spun in front of them, bringing out the caution and checkers. Rounding out the top five were Hunter Wright, Matt Meads, and Adam Breeden. In the Joe Hudson’s Collision Center Limited Stock 20 lap feature, Johnny Brooks of Aylett, VA, took the lead from Corey Bradley of Hopewell, VA, and then held off Trent Clemans of North Prince George, VA, over the remaining laps to take his seventh win of the season. Rounding out the top five were Clemans, Gregory Morgan, Jason Speelman, and Cory Bradley. Johnny Brooks was crowned the 2023 Joe Hudson’s Collision Center Champion.
