Ross Bailes Holds off Late Charge by Chris Ferguson for $20,000 FASTRAK World Championship Victory; Jake Hawkins Goes Flag to Flag in Southeast Dirt Modified Series Win

Jamaica, VA – Ross Bailes of Clover, SC put on a clinic leading flag to flag to capture the $20,000 FASTRAK World Championship presented by James River Equipment victory at Bill Sawyer’s Virginia Motor Speedway. Bailes took the lead on the drop of the green flag and then held off a hard charging Chris Ferguson of Mt. Holly, NC by .985 seconds for the victory. “If you don’t have a Barry Wright ICON race car you need to get you one, this car was flawless all weekend; I can’t thank Barry Wright and the crew enough for putting such a great cat under me,” commented Bailes in WhosYourDriver.org Victory Lane The event attracted a record car count for Virginia Motor Speedway of 71 entrants. In other action Jake Hawkins of Fairmont, WV held off Chris Arnold of Matoaca, VA for his first Southeast Dirt Modified Series win and the $3000 check. Ross Bailes and Corey Almond led the 24 car field to the green with Bailes jumping to the lead out of turn 2 and Jake Hawkins following to second. The races first caution would fly on lap 3 with Hawkins blowing a motor while running second. On the restart Bailes pulled away with Ryan Montgomery working his way to second. By lap 17 Bailes was working traffic and on the following lap split two lapped cars to make it three-wide in turn 1 as he had Montgomery closing. On a lap 19 restart Almond spun in front of the field collecting Thomas Robinson and Justin Williams bring out a red flag. On the restart an eight car pile-up when one car drove over the hood of another car coming to the green caused yet another red flag and thinning the field out. On the restart Bailes pulled away from the field as Chris Ferguson began to pick off several positions over the next three laps moving to third. By the halfway point of the race Bailes had stretched his lead to a little over four seconds. On lap 38 Ferguson worked inside Montgomery on turn 3 to take over the second spot. On lap 42 Bailes came up on a side-by side battle and very patiently worked his way past them and extending his lead. With the laps winding down the car on the move was that of Tyler Bare who had been caught up in the big wreck on lap 19. By lap 48 Bare had worked his way back to sixth. On lap 52 Walker Arthur worked his way into fourth as caution came out for Daryl Charlier who slowed in turn 2 closing the gap between Bailes and Ferguson setting up an eight lap shootout for the $20,000 top prize. On the restart Ferguson tried to stay with the leader but Bailes was able to stretch his lead to four car lengths. With two to go Ferguson closed to within two car lengths. But Bailes was able to hold on for the $20,000 win. Rounding out the top five were Ferguson, Ryan Montgomery, Walker Arthur and Tyler Bare. Heat race winners were Ross Bailes, Corey Almond, Jacob Hawkins, Jensen Ford, Thomas Robinson, Ryan Montgomery, Brent Hilton and Trent Ivey. B Main winners were Joshua Bishop, Brett Hamm, Daryl Charlier and Tyler Bare. In the Southeast Dirt Modified Series 30 lap feature Jake Hawkins and Buck Stevens led the field to green with Hawkins leading the first circuit with Chris Arnold taking second in a three wide battle. Multiple cautions slowed the pace of the race with Hawkins able to hold on to the top spot each restart. Several times Arnold would get inside of Hawkins and looked to have enough momentum to get the lead only to have a caution fly. On lap 15 Arnold pulled a slide job on Hawkins in turn 2 but jumped the cushion allowing Hawkins back around to regain the lead. That bobble also allowed Ryan Ayers to get by for second. Over the final 15 laps the battle was for second back as Hawkins put it on cruise to go on to take the $3000 victory. Arnold was able to get inside Ayers out of turn 4 and nnip him at the line for second. Ayers, Jordan Taylor and Mike Reynolds rounded out the top five. The 2017 Aaron’s Dirt Series Championship weekly racing season at Virginia Motor Speedway has concluded. The next event will be the 13th annual Run-A-Muck Mud Bog and Mud Sling over at The Pit at Virginia Motor Speedway on Saturday October 14th.

JUSTIN WILLIAMS SCORES BIGGEST WIN OF CAREER WITH $5000 FASTRAK WORLD CHALLENGE VICTORY at VIRGINIA MOTOR SPEEDWAY

Jamaica, VA – 2017 Virginia Motor Speedway Pro Late Model Champion Justin Williams of Concord, VA used a little home cooking to take home the $5000 FASTRAK World Challenge victory at Bill Sawyer’s Virginia Motor Speedway on night one of the FASTRAK World Championship presented by James River Equipment weekend. Williams powered to the outside of Walker Arthur on lap 15 of the 40 lap affair and then held off Tyler Bare of Rockbridge Baths, VA for the victory. “Getting this win is pretty awesome, I have to thank Tyler Bare for running me clean right there at the end, he probably had the faster car, I was slowing him up there in three and four. Like I said this is pretty awesome it is the biggest money race I have ever won,” commented Williams in WhosYourDriver.org Victory Lane. Rounding out the top five were Bare, Walker Arthur of Forest, VA, Henry Hornsby of Bradley, WV and Logan Roberson of Waynesboro, VA. It took a couple starts to get the FASTRAK World Challenge feature underway. When the field finally got to racing it was Walker Arthur by inches at the line over David Smith. The two ran side-by-side for the next lap until Arthur took control. Arthur would pace the field with Justin Williams following in second. On lap 14 Arthur and Williams began working heavy traffic. The following circuit Williams slide under Arthur in turn 1 with lapped traffic all around them and took over the top spot officially on lap 16. With Williams in control the best race on the track was for second with Arthur, Stephen Childress and Tyler Bare. Arthur and Childress battled side-by-side with Bare just behind in third. On alp 18 Childress took second from Arthur. For the next 14 laps Arthur looked high and low around Childress to no avail. Several times Childress squeezed him up into the wall as the two jostled for second. On lap 33 coming to the line Childress and Arthur touched sending Childress spinning into the inside wall in turn 1. On the final restart Bare got inside Arthur in turn 1 for second and made a last lap dash to get inside Williams for the lead heading to the white flag. Williams was able to hold Bare off by inches at the line and go on to record the $5000 win. Rounding out the top five were Bare, Arthur, Henry Hornsby and Logan Roberson. Heat race wins went to Walker Arthur, Davis Smith, Justin Williams and Ron Parker. B Main wins went to Jared Powell and Ryan Montgomery. In the Southeast Modified Dirt Series heat race winners were Jacob Hawkins, Chris Arnold and Joey Polevoy. They will run their $3000 to win feature on Saturday.
