Jamaica, VA – In the Steel Block Bandits Dirt Late Model Challenge portion of the Mark Batten Memorial presented by Truckin Thunder, Russell Erwin of Beaver Dam, VA, held off Tyler Bare of Lexington, VA, to take home the $10,000 victory. Erwin inherited the lead from Dustin Mitchell on lap 19, when he slowed with mechanical issues that ended his night. Erwin looked to be on cruise control, but with five laps left, Bare began working the high side, reeling in the leader. Bare would run out of laps, with Erwin holding on for the win. “I put a lot of work into trying to win this race; the Mark Batten Memorial means a lot to me. We are going to stay right here tonight and party like rock stars,” commented Russell Erwin in Virginia is for Racing Lovers Victory Lane. In the Modified Mafia Tour $10,000 feature, Nick Hoffman of Mooresville, NC, took the lead from Cole Falloway of Owensboro, KY, to take the $10,000 victory. Hoffman began working on Falloway for the lead as they worked through traffic. 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 lap 9 restart, Mitchell would pull away from Erwin, only to have the field closed up on his bumper for a car slow in turn four with mechanical issues. 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. Erwin would hold off Bare for the $10,000 victory in the Mark Batten Memorial presented by Truckin Thunder. Cole Falloway and Austin Holcombe led the 26-car field to green, with Falloway taking the lead out of turn two followed by Ray Kable, Nick Hoffman, Charlie Mefford, and Todd Neiheiser. 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. A caution on lap 36 came out for Slade Parsons, setting up a four-lap race for the win. On the restart, Hoffman pulled away, as Falloway and Kable battled for second going on to take the $10,000 victory in the Modified Mafia Tour portion of the Mark Batten Memorial presented by Truckin Thunder. Falloway, Kable, Michael Altobelli, and Austin Holcombe rounded out the top five. In the Victory Lap Pro Late Model 25 lap feature, Billy Hubbard and Jarrett Edwards led the field to green, but Jeremy Pilkerton would lead the first lap. Once out front Pilkerton pulled away while Davis Lipscombe and Corey Almond battled for second. The race would go caution-free and looked like an easy win for Pilkerton, but the scales showed him seven pounds light, handing the win to Davis Lipscombe. Rounding out the top five were Corey Almond, Jarrett Edwards, Ben Scott, and Billy Hubbard. 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. On lap three, something broke on Wright’s car, sending him spinning into turn three, handing the lead to Shipp. Brett Adkins would take the lead three laps later. On the final lap, Shipp would get inside Adkins as they came to the start-finish line, with the race ending in a photo finish, with Adkins winning by .006 seconds.

ARNOLD HOLDS OFF ALTOBELLI FOR MODIFIED MAFIA TOUR WIN; LIPSCOMBE & DAVIS GRAB PRO LATE MODEL WINS; ADKINS AND BROOKS ALSO VISIT VICTORY LANE

ARNOLD HOLDS OFF ALTOBELLI FOR MODIFIED MAFIA TOUR WIN; LIPSCOMBE & DAVIS GRAB PRO LATE MODEL WINS; ADKINS AND BROOKS ALSO VISIT VICTORY LANE

Jamaica, VA – The Modified Mafia Tour Shoot’ Em Up 30 feature became an instant classic as Chris Arnold of Matoaca, VA, used a little home-track magic to hold off Michael Altobelli of Saxton, PA, over the last 12 laps to score the $2500 victory at Virginia Motor Speedway. “I have been trying for years to get a win in a special here at Virginia Motor Speedway; I can’t thank Michael Altobelli enough for racing me clean,” commented Chris Arnold in Virginia Is For Racing Lovers victory lane. Micheal Altobelli and Chris Arnold led the field to green, with Arnold taking the lead out of turn 2. On lap 7 Austin Holcombe moved into second and began to close in on Arnold. Behind the leader Ty Norder, Taylor Cook, and Micheal Altobeill battled for third. A caution on lap 14 for a big wreck in turn 4 that involved six cars closed Holcombe on Arnold’s bumper. On the restart, Holcome would get under Arnold in turn 1, only to see Arnold use the high line to hold on to the lead. On lap 15 the battle for the lead got three wide with Arnold, Holcombe, and Altobelli. A caution on lap 17 for debris would put the field nose to tail for the restart. On the restart, Altobelli got under Holcombe for second and closed on Arnold. On the next lap, Altobelli got inside Arnold in turn 2 and pulled door-to-door into turn 3. Coming out of turn 4, Altobelli pulled ahead by a bumper, taking the lead at the line. Arnold would power back around Altobelli on the outside of turn one and two to retake the lead down the backstretch. Two laps later, Altobelli would look outside in turn 2, pulling up to Arnold’s door. Behind them, the battle for third between Holcombe and Taylor Cook heated up. All eyes were on the race for the lead, with the fans on their feet as Arnold and Altobelli battled side-by-side in the corners with the laps winding down. With three to go, the leaders started working lapped traffic, with both drivers getting through without much hassle. On the final lap, Arnold had Altobelli on his bumper. The two barreled down the backstretch. Heading into turn 3, Altobelli made one last ditch at the win by driving it hard into the corner. Arnold would hold on to grab the win over Altobelli, Taylor Cook, and Ty Norder. In the first Victory Lap Pro Late Model 15 lap feature, Corey Almond of Appomattox, VA, and Billy Hubbard of Cobbs Creek, VA, led the field to green, with Almond grabbing the lead out of turn 2. Almond paced the field for the first seven laps, with Davis Lipscombe of Mechanicsville, VA, closing in for the lead. On lap 7 Lipscombe began looking inside of Almond the lead. On lap 8, Lipscombe nipped Almond at the line by a bumper. The two race side-by-side all the way to turn 4, where Almond got caught behind a lap car, allowing Lipscombe to pull away. Over the final six laps, Almond would try to get back to the bumper of Lipscombe, but Lipscombe would hold his lead and go on to score his first win of the 2023 season. Rounding out the top five were Almond, Billy Hubbard, Nick Davis, and Ray Love, Jr. “It’s taken me two years to get this car where I want it; it is a 2006 Rocket that I have cut up and re-welded this chassis to finally get it to victory lane,” commented Davis Lipscombe in Virginia Is For Racing Lovers victory lane. An invert of four cars put Nick Davis of Millsboro, DE, on the pole for the second 15-lap feature. On the drop of the green flag, Davis jumped to the lead and began to pull away with Corey Almond in tow. Davis paced the first 11 laps with a comfortable lead over Almond. A caution on lap 12 closed Almond up on Davis’s bumper for a restart. On the restart, Davis had Almond to his outside for two corners until Davis pulled away and went on to score the win. Rounding out the top 5 were Almond, Davis Lipscombe, Ray Love, Jr., and Billy Hubbard. “The car was just fantastic tonight; I could put it just about anywhere,” commented Nick Davis in victory lane. In the Truckin Thunder Sportsman 25-lap feature, Bret Adkins of Saluda, VA, jumped to the lead on the drop of the green flag. Once out front, he only had to fend off one challenge from Tim Shelton before he went on to grab his second victory of 2023. Rounding out the top five were Tim Shelton, Steve Causey, Hunter Wright, and Davis Lipscombe. In the Joe Hudson’s Collision Center Limited Stock 20 lap feature Brian Maxey jumped out to the lead with Trent Clemans and Raymond Harper in tow. Harper would grab the lead from Maxey with an outside move out of turn 4 on lap 4. On lap 10, Johnny Brooks would get to the inside of Harper, and the two raced side-by-side to the line, with Harper holding on to the lead. In turn 2, Brooks finally made the pass and went on to score the win, followed by Trent Clemans, Raymond Harper, Cory Bradley, and Brian Maxey. The speedway will take next weekend off and return to racing on Saturday, August 19, to host week 9 of Dirt Series Championship weekly racing will also feature the Victory Lap Late Model, Truckin Thunder Sportsman, Budweiser Modified, and Collision One Limited Stock divisions in action.
