Corey Almond Inherits Pro Late Model Checkers at the Scales; Shelton, McClendon and Givens all Repeat Winners

Jamaica, VA – What looked to be a convincing win for Billy Hubbard of Cobbs Creek, VA in the Victory Lap Pro Late Model division at Virginia Motor Speedway turned into a disappointing night when the driver was found light at the scales. Hubbard got by Kenny Moreland of Waldorf, MD for the lead on lap 2 of the 36 lap affair to take the lead on lap 3. Hubbard would dominate the night stretching his lead out several times to a full straight lead over the battle for second between Corey Almond of Appomattox, VA and Justin Williams of Concord, VA. What turned out to be for the win Almond held off several challenges by Williams over the last five laps to take home what looked like a second only to be handed the win due to the disqualification. “We hate to win like that but we will take it; I really like Billy (Hubbard) a lot and happy to see him win; if I was going to second to anybody, him or Justin (Williams), I would like him to win,” commented Almond in WhosYourDriver.org victory lane. Justin Williams, Matt Glanden, Davis Lipscombe and Jared Powell rounded out the top five. In other action Tim Shelton of Fredericksburg, VA survived a wreck that sent him to the rear of the field only to come back through the field to take the win; in the Budwesier Modified feature Hunter McClendon of Williamsburg, VA fended off a couple of slide jobs by Chris Arnold of Chesterfield, VA in on lap 25 of the 30 lap feature to take home the win; and in the Collision One Limited Stock Car feature James Givens of Henrico, VA took the lead on the opening lap with a daring 3-wide pass scored his second win in a row. Brad Rigdon and Kenny Moreland led the 24 car field to green with Billy Hubbard making it 3-wide heading into turn 3. Moreland would exit turn 2 with the lead followed by Hubbard. On lap 3 Hubbard would take the lead from Moreland with a strong move out of turn 4 to grab the lead. Hubbard would begin to pull away with Moreland, Corey Almond, Matt Glanden and Justin Williams in tow. On lap 6 Williams got by Glanden for 4th while Almond got past Moreland on lap 13 for second. A big crash brought out the caution on lap 13 when Jonathan Raley spun in turn 1 collecting Tyler Hoy in the process. On the lap 14 restart Hubbard kept Almond behind him while Williams went inside Glanden for third. A caution on lap 18 for a stopped Kenny Moreland, tightened the field up on Hubbard’s bumper. On the restart Hubbard once again pulled away, this time by about eight car-lengths over Almond and Williams. Caution would fall again on lap 23 for the spinning car of Toby Davis. On the restart Hubbard once again got a great jump on the field again pulling away from the field. With Hubbard in control the best battle on the track was the one for second between Almond and Williams. Williams kept working Almond to the inside with Almond hold on to the spot each time. Hubbard would cross the line with what looked like a convincing win, his first at Virginia Motor Speedway since 2004, but was light at the scales handing the win to Almond. Justin Williams, Matt Glanden, Davis Lipscombe and Jared Powell rounded out the top five. In the Budweiser Modified 30 lap feature Ryan Toole and Hunter McClendon led the field to green with McClendon grabbing the lead out of turn 4. The races first caution would fly on lap 1 with a spinning Adam Hoegerl. McClendon would pace the field while Chris Arnold got past Toole for second with Andy Boahn following to third. Caution would fly for the fourth time on lap 8 when Curtis Barricks spun and hit the inside wall. On the restart McClendon pulled away from Arnold and the field and was pacing the field when another caution would fly for a wreck in turn 4 with Curtis Mason and Charlie Hubbard. On the restart McClendon would once again get a great jump on Arnold pulling two car lengths out of turn 2. On lap 25 Arnold went to throwing sliders on McClendon swapping the lead twice in the matter of two corners but caution would spoil the finish. On the races final restart McClendon would pull a couple car lengths and would hold that to the checkers picking up his second win of the season and in a row. Rounding out the top five were In the Truckin Thunder Sportsman 30 lap feature Matt Ashworth and Joe Weiss led the field to green with Weiss grabbing the lead out of turn 2 on the high side. It wouldn’t take long for the races first caution to come out as Steve Causey looped it in turn 2 on the next lap. The races second caution came out on the restart with Matt Ashworth and Tim Shelton getting together in turn 2 and spinning down the backstretch. That sent the damaged car of Shelton to the rear of the field. After being the in the caution Shelton set out to get back to the front of the field picking off cars one at a time. By lap 13 Shelton had worked his way to second and the bumper of Weiss where he tried to get outside Weiss in turn 4. Weiss was able to hold on to the top spot for three more corners before Shelton would get outside and this time making the pass and taking over the lead. Once in the lead Shelton pulled away by as much as a full straight and went on to score his second win in a row. Joe Weiss, Tyler Shipp, Steve Causey and Tommy Upshaw rounded out the top five. Brandon Bowler and Cory Bradley led the Collision One Limited Stock Car 25 lap feature to green with the field quickly going three wide into turn 1 with James Givens on the outside. Givens would rocket off turn 2 to take over the top spot and lead the opening circuit. The races first caution came out on lap 5 for a spinning Raymond Harper in turn 4. On the restart Givens pulled away from the field with Bradley trying to stay within striking distance. On lap 15 the battle for the top sport tightened up when Givens came up on some slower traffic allowing Bradley a chance to get inside the leader coming out of turn 4. Givens would hold on to the top spot with Bradley and Chad Champion in close pursuit. On lap 19 the races second and final caution would come out for Marty Coltrain with a broken rear axle.

On a lap 30 restart Almond jumped inside Powell as they barreled into turn 1 getting door to door as they raced out of turn 2. It took two more turns before Almond would complete the pass but once out front never looked back to go on to take the opening night victory. “I have to thank Jared (Powell) for racing me clean, he was better in lapped traffic than I was so when that last caution came out I knew I had to make my move; thankfully it paid off and we came away with the win,” commented Corey Almond in WhosYourDriver.org victory lane.

On the restart Roberson pulled away from the now battle for second between Bare and Michael Brown. On lap 23 Brown swept the outside of bare to take second and set out to catch Roberson. Two laps later the leaders began working traffic and Brown closed on Roberson’s bumper but the battle for the lead was thwarted by a caution on lap 31.

Roberson would quickly regain the lead on the next corner with a strong move out of turn 2. A final caution on lap 54 tightened the field back on Roberson bumper for the restart. Roberson was able to hold off Brown over the final six laps to score his first FASTRAK win and the biggest win of his career.

Corey Almond Grabs First Pro Late Model Victory at Virginia Motor Speedway; Hamilton, Causey and Givens also visit WhosYourDriver.org Victory Lane

Jamaica, VA – A win at Virginia Motor Speedway has been eluding Corey Almond of Appomattox, VA for several years now, but that is not the case anymore as he pulled away late to take home the victory. Several cautions on the start of the feature moved Almond up to the front row. On the drop of the green flag Almond took the lead from Ryan Adams of Madison Heights, VA and began to pull away from the field. Almond held off several challenges by Matt Quade and Mark Parks to take home the victory. “We have been working really hard to get a victory here at Virginia Motor Speedway, I hate that I slid up on that first start and got into Davis (Lipscombe) but it doesn’t take away from what I am feeling right now,” commented and emotional Almond in WhosYourDriver.org victory lane. Rounding out the top five were Mark Parks, Ryan Adams, Matt Quade and Bobby Thompson. In other action Steve Causey of Smithfield, VA scored his career first Truckin Thunder Sportsman victory at VMS and became the fourth winner in as many races; in the Budweiser Modified 30 lap feature Bret Hamilton of Powhatan, VA became the fourth winner in as many races by holding off a charging Tim Schulte of Troy, VA for the win and in the Collision One Limited Stock Car 25 lap feature James Givens of Sandston, VA held off Cory Bradley of Hopewell, VA at the line to score his third win of the season. Matt Glanden and Ryan Adams led the Victory Lap Pro Late Model 19 car field to green with the caution coming out for a wreck in turn one. It took another two tries to get the race started before Corey Almond would take control of the race. For the first 14 laps Almond had to hold off the challenges of Matt Quade. Quade would have to come to pit road on lap 15 to fix a flat right rear tire. On the restart Mark Parks tried to sweep the outside of Almond but could not pull off the pass. Almond would pull away and use the traffic to his advantage. With all the battling behind him Almond was able to dominate the remainder of the race and take home his first VMS victory. Rounding out the top five were Mark Parks, Ryan Adams, Matt Quade and Bobby Thompson. In the Truckin Thunder Sportsman 30 lap feature Tyler Shipp and Steve Causey led the field to green with Causey grabbing the lead out of turn 2. Behind him the battle went three wide with fast Qualifier Brett Adkins going to the outside to move to third from his sixth place starting position. On lap 5 Adkins took second from Shipp and set out to run down the leader Causey. On the final 25 laps Adkins would take several shots at Causey for the lead only to be turned away each time. Causey would hold on to grab his first Virginia Motor Speedway victory. Rounding out the top five were Adkins, Mark Gonzales, Hunter Shelton and Michael Hayes. The box score may show that Bret Hamilton led all 30 laps of the Budweiser Modified feature but what it doesn’t show is how hard that victory was for Hamilton. Tim Schulte and Hamilton led the 17 car field to green with Hamilton taking control of the top spot out of turn 2. By lap 10 the leaders were working their way through traffic with Hamilton using the top and Schulte down on the bottom. With eight laps to go Schulte began getting a run on Hamilton each time out of both turn 2 and turn 4. Each time Hamilton was able to hold him off at the line. A caution with two to go set up a green, white, checkered finish. On the restart Hamilton was able to get a couple of car lengths over Schulte only to have Schulte close that gap back up. With one to go Schulte got a run on Hamilton in turn three but Hamilton took away his line and hold him off for the win. Rounding out the top five were Schulte, Francis Jarrelle, Ryan Toole and Mike Reynolds. In the Collision One Limited Stock feature Chad Champion and Trent Clemans led the field to green. Clemans would jump to the lead out of turn 2 with Champion and James Givens in close pursuit. Givens would get by Champion for second on lap 2 and the two would beat and bang a bit before Givens settled into the spot. On the next lap Givens began applying pressure to the bumper of Clemans for the lead and on lap 6 Givens got to the outside to take the top spot. Once out front Givens looked to be in control of the race. That is until final five laps when Cory Bradley entered the picture. Bradley tried several times to get inside Givens for the lead but couldn’t pull off the pass. On the final lap Bradley made one last ditch effort to take the lead, this time getting side by sode as they raced to the checkers. Givens would hold off Bradley by a bumper at the line for the win. Rounding out the top five were Bradley, Trent Clemans, Randy Hutchens and Marty Coltrain. The Speedway will take next Saturday July 21st off and return to racing on Saturday June 28th and host week 8 of Aaron’s Dirt Series Championship weekly action featuring the Victory Lap Pro Late Model, Truckin Thunder Sportsman, Budweiser Modified and Collision One Limited Stock Car divisions in action.
