Jamaica, VA – Sometimes its better to be lucky than good, at least that’s what David Williams of Avenue, MD thought. With the cars on the starting grid pole sitter Roland Mann’s car had to call it a night after his car leaked a puddle of oil ending his night without ever taking a lap.

Williams held off challenges from Stephen Evans and then Anthony Kincaid in the closing laps to take home the 40th Annual Fall Classic victory at Bill Sawyer’s Virginia Motor Speedway.

“I have to thank Sommey Lacey and his wife for putting this deal together for this race, the track was in awesome shape and the car just ran flawless,” commented Williams in Victory Lane.

“I got a little lucky there before the race getting to start on the front row after Roland’s (Mann) misfortune,” added Williams.

Jamaica, VA – The race statistics might show that Anthony Kincaid of Gloucester, VA led the final 33 laps of the 35 feature. Statistics might also lead you to believe that Kincaid had an easy time of it on way to his second win of the season, but statistics can be deceiving. The truth is that Kincaid had to hold off several challenges from the “Faster Pastor” Tom Cohick of Gloucester, VA the last coming on the final lap.

As the two took the white flag in lapped traffic Kincaid decided to go outside a lapped car as Cohick went inside the same car out of turn 2. Door to door they raced to the checkered flag with Kincaid holding on in a photo finish by 0.079 seconds.

“That was amazing! I could see him sneaking to the inside a couple of times and once he got to my inside he raced me clean back to the checkers, what a finish for the fans,” commented a very excited Kincaid in victory lane.
