Shane Clanton Takes TireX USA 100 Checkers; Daniel Baggerly Gets Career First FASTRAK National Tour Win

Jamaica, VA – In the eight year history of the TireX USA 100 there had yet to be a repeat winner… the streak is still alive as Shane Clanton of Zebulon, GA came from ninth to take home the $10,000 victory. Clanton methodically worked his way from his ninth place starting position joining the battle for the lead on lap 29 going three wide with race leader Austin Hubbard Seaford, DE and Casey Roberts of Toccoa, GA. On lap 39 Clanton got under Roberts in turn 2 while Roberts worked under Hubbard to make it three wide to the line. On the next circuit Clanton would get under Roberts out of turn 2 for second and set his sights on Hubbard. On 41 Clanton worked under Hubbard out of turn 4 with Hubbard holding the lead by inches. Heading into turn 1 Clanton cleared Hubbard to take the lead. Once out front Clanton set sail and went on to pick up the big win. “I was just biding my time there trying to get to the front and waiting for the right moment to take the lead; we set up the car to work the bottom and took a few chances on the way to the front. Hats off to the track for putting together such a great track for us to run on,” commented Clanton in victory lane. Rounding out the top five were Austin Hubbard, Casey Roberts, twelfth starting Rick Eckert and seventeenth starting Jeff Smith. In other action Daniel Baggerly of Richmond, VA picked up the FASTRAK National Tour win after a great battle with Walker Arthur of Forest, VA. Austin Hubbard and Kyle Hardy led the Ultimate Super Late Model Series field to green with Hubbard rocketing to the lead. Hubbard looked almost untouchable as he pulled away from the field. With Hubbard out front Hardy worked to hold defending TieX USA 100 champion Chris Ferguson at bay for second. On lap 13 Ferguson completed a slide job in turn 2 to take second and looked to be gaining on Hubbard for the lead when his car developed mechanical issues ending his night on lap 29. The lead went three wide after that between Hubbard, Roberts and Clanton. Clanton picked off Roberts first on lap 40 and on lap 42 took the lead from Hubbard to go on to score the victory. Rounding out the top five were Austin Hubbard, Casey Roberts, twelfth starting Rick Eckert and seventeenth starting Jeff Smith. Winning heat races were Austin Hubbard, Kyle Hardy and Dustin Mitchell. In the 40 lap FASTRAK National Tour event Daniel Baggerly of Richmond, VA and Davis Lipscombe of Mechanicsville, VA led the field to green with Bagggerly jumping out the lead. Once out front Baggerly began to pull away from the field leaving Lipscombe to deal with Walker Arthur of Forest, VA for second. Arthur got by Lipscombe on lap 19 and set out to catch Baggerly who had stretched his lead to about ten car lengths. On lap 22 Baggerly began working lapped traffic with Arthur closing quickly. With Arthur now on his bumper Baggerly split two lapped cars to get away by a couple of car lengths. On lap 25 Baggerly made a slight mistake in turn 1 allowing Arthur to get inside for the lead. On lap 28 Baggerly closed in on Arthur and dove under him heading into turn 4 to take back the top spot.

Participants from the local Scouting Community and Virginia Motor Speedway’s racing family will make for a fun-filled evening that also will raise money for one of my favorite charities, ChildHelp®. I feel fortunate to have one of the ChildHelp Villages here in Virginia.
