Jimmy Duncan Doubles up in Modified action; Williams, Padula, Adkins and Givens also get wins

Jimmy Duncan Doubles up in Modified action; Williams, Padula, Adkins and Givens also get wins

Jamaica, VA – Jimmy Duncan of Fredericksburg, VA emerged the big winner at Bill Sawyer’s Virginia Motor Speedway as he swept both events for the Budweiser Modifieds on Collision Once, Xtra 99.1 Night. Other winners included Justin Williams in Victory Lap Late Models, David Padula in Fastrak Pro Late Models, Brett Adkins in Truckin Thunder Sportsman and Wesley Givens in Collision One Limited Stocks. Twin races for were scheduled for each division but after the second feature for the Budweiser Modifieds rain began to fall ending the nights activities. The first Budweiser Modified feature started with a tribute to the late Donnie Smith whose 1$ modified paced the four wide salute to the fans. On the drop of the green flag Mike Reynolds jumped out to an early lead followed closely by Jimmy Duncan, Joey Polevoy and Russell Erwin. For the first 10 laps Reynolds was able to keep Duncan and Erwin at bay but on lap 11 Reynolds slipped just a bit in turn 2 allowing Duncan to get by the for the lead and Erwin to go by for second. Duncan then went on to take the win over Erwin with Reynolds, Polevoy and Chris Arnold rounding out the top five. In the second feature it got three wide real quick as Jimmy Duncan, Joey Polevoy and Russell Erwin all raced out of turn 2 looking for the lead. Duncan would lead the first lap but his stay would be short lived as Erwin took over the top spot on the next lap. Two laps later Erwin would slow in turn 4 and take it to the pits handing the lead back to Duncan. Polevoy tried several times to take away the top spot but Duncan was too strong and went on to win his second feature of the night followed by Polevoy, Chris Arnold, James Sparks and Neal Hudgins. In the Victory Lap Late Model / Fastrak Pro Late Model feature Justin Williams would start on the pole and lead every lap in a dominating performance to pick up the win in the victory Lap Late Models. Tim Shelton and John Staton would put on a show for second as the two swapped the position back and forth multiple times before Shelton took the position for good followed by Staton, Billy Tucker and Troy Williams rounding out the top five. The highest finishing Fastrak Pro Late Model was David Padula. In the Truckin Thunder Sportsman it was the same old story as Brett Adkins picked up this seventh win of the season with Roger Jamerson, Davey Pullen, Junior Carter and Hunter Shelton rounding out the top five. The Collision One Limited Stock Car feature was probably the most entertaining as five drivers had a shot at the win. Wesley Givens, Marty Coltrain, Ryan Hutchens, Brian Maxey and Brandon Sandridge battle three wide for much of the 12 lap affair with Givens coming out the victor. The win was his sixth of the season. Rounding out the top five were Ryan Hutchens, Brian Maxey, Brandon Sandridge and Travis Hopkins.
