			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jamaica, VA – You don’t have to lead them all, you just have to lead the last one to get the victory and that is exactly what Stevie Long of Mechanicsville, MD did during the 35 lap Victory Lap Late Model feature at Bill Sawyer’s Virginia Motor Speedway.</p>
<p>Long started seventh and slowing worked his way to the front taking over second from David Williams on lap 28. On lap 31 Adams was working the lapped car of Junior Carter in turn 3 heading into turn 4 Carter broke loose and Adams ran into the back of him sending Carter spinning and bringing out the caution. That put Long on Adams bumper for the races final restart.</p>
<p>Over the final four laps Long tried several times to get inside Adams for the lead but to no avail. Adams looked to on his way to victory when on the final lap Adams jumped the cushion in turn 3 giving Long the opening he needed to make the pass and go on to take the victory.</p>
<p>“I’m not going to say I was settling for second but I thought Adams had us covered for the win, when he made the mistake I was in position to take over the lead and go on to the win,” commented Long in victory lane.</p>
<p>Rounding out the top five were Scott Adams, David Williams, Matt Marshall and Davis Lipscombe.<br />
<span id="more-595"></span><br />
In the Truckin Thunder Sportsman feature Roger Jamerson of Mechanicsville, VA led flag to flag to pick up the victory and continued to build on his point lead. The win didn’t come easy though as he had to fend off several challenges from Taylor Doggett of Ruther Glen, VA before puling away for the victory. Rounding out the top five were fast qualifier Tony Wood, J.R. Guy and Michael Roop.</p>
<p>In the Budweiser Modified 25 lap feature Charlie Hubbard and page Harrison led the field to green with Harrison leading the first circuit. On lap 3, caution would come out when Dan Arnold and Hubbard got together in turn 2. On lap 4 James Marshall took over the top spot from Harrison. On lap 9 Brian Maxey would assume the top spot with an inside pass on Marshall in turn 2. </p>
<p>The races final caution would come out lap 21 for Neal Hudgins who came to a stop in turn 2 with a flat tire. On the restart Arnold took over second from Brandon Galloway and set his sites on Maxey. Over the final three laps Arnold would get to the inside of Maxey but couldn’t make the pass. At the white flag the Arnold was a car length back and in turn 3 made went to the inside of Maxey for the lead. The two raced door to door with Maxey nipping Arnold at the line for the victory. Rounding out the top five were Brandon Galloway, Josh Harris and Lance Grady.</p>
<p>In the Collision One Limited Stock Car 20 lap feature seventh starting Brett Adkins of Gloucester, VA assumed the lead when leaders James Givens and Joe Ender got together on lap 6 eliminating both from contention with flat tires. Once out front Adkins set his ride on cruise control and went on to take the victory. Rounding out the top five were Kevin Fletcher, Ryan Toole, Brandon Coates and Marty Coltrain.</p>
<p>Before the night’s events got under way Jon Helwig of Dunnsville, VA, a 22 year competitor was surprised by the track and his family. Helwig, diagnosed with cancer in December of 2009, has been battling the disease with the help of his friends and family. Since finding out his cancer Helwig has had two things he has wanted to do and that was to drive his modified one more time and to go deep sea fishing. With the help of family and many of the Budweiser Modified division drivers his old car was put back together so he could start tonight’s race, fulfilling one of his wishes. Helwig will also have his second wish of deep sea fishing granted by track sponsor Victory Lap, LLC who will take him out for the excursion of his life.</p>
<p>Bill Sawyer’s Virginia Motor Speedway will host WIGO Championship Night Saturday September 4th. It will be the last point race of the season for all four of the track’s Virginia Army National Guard Dirt Series divisions. With all the divisional point races tight heading into the final weekend the racing should be intense.

Jamaica, VA – During the month of July Stevie Long of Mechanicsville, MD had earned the name Mr. Heartbreak as he dealt with motor problems that took him out of the Championship point chase in the Victory Lap Late Model division at Bill Sawyer’s Virginia Motor Speedway. With a victory everything changed.</p>
<p>Tim Shelton and Tom Cohick led the field to green with Cohick leading the first circuit followed closely by Long. Two quick cautions both on lap 2 put Long right on Cohick’s bumper. On the restart Long tried to get inside Cohick but couldn’t make the pass. On the next circuit Long tried once again to get inside Cohick this time in turn 4 but once again Cohick was up to the challenge.</p>
<p>On lap 7 David Williams joined the battle for the lead. Over the next six laps the top three looked for ways around the others. On lap 14 Long got under Cohick once again in turn 2, this time the two touched with Long coming out with the lead. On the next lap Williams would get by Cohick for second and set out to reel in the leader.</p>
<p>On lap 18 Williams began to pressure Long for the lead. As the two raced through lapped traffic Long began to pull away. Over the final twenty laps Long worked traffic to perfection on way to his first victory of 2010.</p>
<p>“After the month of July we had it sure feels great to finally shake the monkey off our back. The track was awesome tonight you couldn’t ask for a better surface to race on,” commented Long in victory lane.</p>
<p>Rounding out the top five were David Williams, Matt Marshall, Scott Adams and Davis Lipscombe.</p>
<p>In other action Dan Arnold of Petersburg, VA took home the victory in the Budweiser Modifieds. In the Truckin Thunder Sportsman Roger Jamerson of Mechanicsville, VA took home the victory and in the Collision One Limited Stock Cars Brett Adkins of Gloucester, VA got the victory.<br />
<span id="more-579"></span><br />
In the Budweiser Modified 25 lap feature Page Harrison and Tony Quade led the field to green with current point leader charging from his sixth place starting spot to take the lead in turn for and lead the first circuit.</p>
<p>Two quick cautions found Dan Arnold on the bumper of Maxey for the restart. Once back under green Arnold began to apply pressure for the top spot. On lap 8 Arnold dove under Maxey in turn 4 and pulled door to door with Maxey holding on at the line. Over the next two laps Arnold tried high and low and on lap 11 Maxey and Arnold split a slower car with Maxey going high and Arnold low. As they exited turn 2 three wide Arnold emerged as the leader heading into turn 3.</p>
<p>Once out front Arnold began to pull away from the field. On lap 16 John Ferguson took over the third position from Page Harrison and set out for Maxey. With the rest of the field fighting for position Arnold would cruise to his third win in a row and take over the points lead in the process. Rounding out the top five were Brian Maxey, John Ferguson, Page Harrison and Brandon Galloway.</p>
<p>In the Truckin Thunder Sportsman 25 lap feature Tommy Upshaw and J.R. Guy led the field to green with Guy taking the top spot and leading the first lap. The next lap the races first caution came out for a big wreck in turn 1 involving Bubba Chandler, Michael Hayes and Carl Vaughan. All three drivers would be ok with Vaughan the only car to return to action.</p>
<p>On the restart Tony Wood began to dog Guy and in turn 4 dove under guy to take the lead at the line by inches. Once out front Wood would begin to pull away from the field. On lap 7 Roger Jamerson would take over the second spot and begin to reel in the leader. On lap 13 Wood and Jamerson split a lapped car in turn 4 coming to the line with Jamerson grabbing the lead by inches at the line. In turn 2 fought back on the outside to regain the lead but it was short lived as Jamerson would drive under Wood on lap 15 when Wood slide up turn 4 giving Jamerson the opening. Once out front Jamerson pulled away to take the win and extend his point lead. Rounding out the top five were Tony Wood, J.R. Guy, Davey Pullen and Michael Roop.</p>
<p>The Collision One Limited Stock Car 20 lap feature saw Ryan Toole and Brett Adkins leading the field to green with Adkins taking command and leading the first circuit. Once out front the only things to slow the leader were cautions and on each restart Adkins would pull away from the field.
