Walker Arthur takes Victory Lap Late Model Checkers; Traylor, Maxey and Adkins also get wins

Jamaica, VA – It had been almost a year since Walker Arthur of Forest, VA had been in the starting field of a Victory Lap Late Model feature, but the 2008 Victory Lap Late Model and 2010 Steel Block Bandits champion still knows his way to victory lane as he held off a determined David Williams of Avenue, VA to take home the victory. Arthur led flag to flag but the win did not come without a challenge. Earlier in the night Williams had set a new division track record and pulled a six pill to invert the top six. It only took him eight laps to get to second and have Arthur in his sites. On lap 9 Arthur jumped the cushion allowing Williams to close as the two exited turn 2. On the next circuit Williams looked to the inside of Arthur out of turn 2 only to have Arthur close the door down the backstretch. The two then put on a driving clinic driving through lapped traffic with Williams taking a shot at Arthur at every corner. The two went three wide several times as they worked the slower traffic. On lap 25 Williams got into the back of Arthur out of turn 2 only to have Arthur hold on to the spot. On lap 32 the race third and final caution would fly setting up an eight lap dash for the win. On the restart Arthur was magnificent and pulled away by two car lengths as Williams worked to hold off Scott Adams for second. Arthur would go on to record his first victory at the speedway in over two years. “That was awesome, I saw Williams coming up through the field on the scoreboard and I knew I was going to have my hands full, to be able to get back here in victory lane at Virginia Motor Speedway is really special,” commented Arthur in Victory Lane. Rounding out the top five were David Williams, Scott Adams, Davis Lipscombe and Kenny Moreland. In the Budweiser Modified 25 lap feature Joey Polevoy and Brian Dobie led the field to green with Polevoy taking control and leading the first lap. Behind him Dan Arnold and Brian Maxey begin their march to the front. During the races third caution Polevoy came to stop on front stretch with mechanical problems ending his night and handing lead to Maxey. On the restart Maxey pulled away with Page Harrison in tow. On lap 12 Arnold works his way back to third after falling back to seventh. On lap 21 caution would fly and close the field on Maxey’s bumper. On the restart Arnold tried the outside of Harrison but would get pinched against the backstretch wall allowing Brian Dobie and Tony Quade to get by for position. Maxey would have to endure one more restart but he had enough to hold off Harrison for his third win of 2011. Rounding out the top five were Page Harrison, Brian Dobie, Dan Arnold and Tony Quade. In the Truckin Thunder Sportsman 25 lap feature Junior Carter and Tony Wood led the field to green with Carter leading the first lap followed closely by Wood and Todd Traylor. On the next lap Wood would spin in turn 4 bringing out the caution sending him to the rear of the field. On the restart Traylor would get inside Carter in turn 3 and take the lead at the line. Traylor looked to be on cruise control as he held a sizable lead for the majority of the race. Behind him the battle for second was intense as Carter worked to hold off Roger Jamerson, Michael Roop and Wood. On lap 19 Wood would take second from Carter and set out to real in Traylor. On lap 21 the races final caution would put Wood on Traylor’s bumper for the restart. Traylor would get a good jump on the field but Wood kept the pressure on and as the two headed to the white flag Wood dove under Traylor out of turn 4 only to Traylor hold on to the top spot. Traylor would go on to record his second victory of 2011. Rounding out the top five were Wood, Junior Carter, J.R. Guy and John Kirby. Results for Truckin Thunder Sportsman are still unofficial, at the time of this release the motors of winner Todd Traylor and Tony Wood were being held for further inspection by track officials. In the Collision One Limited Stock 20 lap nightcap Thomas Rose and Brandon Sandridge led the field to green with Thomas leading his first lap of 2011. On the next lap Ender would go to the outside of Thomas out of turn 2 to take over the top spot. On lap the next lap fast qualifier Brett Adkins would spin and be relegated to the rear, a place he wouldn’t stay long. The battles all over the track were tight as Ender worked to keep the top spot. On lap 13 Adkins was back in second and knocking on the door for the lead. On lap 14 Adkins blasted around the outside of Ender out of turn 2 and down the backstretch to take over the lead. Over the remaining laps Adkins would pull away and cruise to his first win of 2011. Rounding out the top five were Joe Ender, Brandon Coates, Thomas Rose and Brandon Sandridge.

Tim Shelton Scores First Ever Victory in Late Model action at Virginia Motor Speedway; Barrick and Childress also first time winners while Enders gets second career win

Jamaica, VA – Mother Nature tired to put a damper on Armed Forces Appreciation Night at Bill Sawyer’s Virginia Motor Speedway but track officials had other ideas getting the track in racing condition with the help of the competitors on hand. Once racing got under way the action got intense on a night that saw three first time winners. In the Victory Lap Late Model 35 lap feature Tim Shelton of Fredericksburg, VA led every lap but it didn’t come easy as Scott Adams, David Williams and Derick Quade all took shots at Shelton for the lead. On lap 6 Williams worked high and low trying to find a way around Shelton. Several times over the next few laps Williams would get a fender inside Shelton but could never make the pass. Shelton would be able to get some breathing room as Adams went to work on Williams for the runner up spot. Williams would jump the cushion in turn 3 on lap 16 allowing Adams to take over the second spot. With the laps winding down Shelton held the top spot while Adams battled Derick Quade for second. With the battle behind him Shelton would go on to record his first ever win in the very competitive Victory Lap Late Models. “This is awesome, we have worked really hard to get to this point and to get a win in this very competitive division,” commented Shelton in victory lane.

The win didn’t come without a challenge as Josh Harris of Gloucester, VA made several attempts to take away the top spot without success. Harris would finish second followed by Lance Grady, Page Harrison and Dan Arnold. In the Truckin Thunder Sportsman 25 lap feature Tony Woods and Roy Skaggs would lead the field to green with Woods leading the first circuit. On lap 3 Stephen Childress and Todd Traylor would get past Skaggs for second and third respectfully. On lap 6 Childress would get inside Woods in turn 4 and take the lead at the line by inches. Once out front Childress began to build a comfortable lead. Woods would make several late race attempts at taking back the top spot but to no avail. The races final caution came out on lap 22 setting up a three lap dash for the cash of which Childress was up for the challenge as he went on to record his first ever victory in the Truckin Thunder Sportsman division.
