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. That moved Williams to the front row with Chris Stacy and with the green flag in the air and the cars barreling into turn 1 Williams shot out into the lead.

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.

Rounding out the top five were Anthony Kincaid, Sommey Lacey, Tom Cohick and Tyler Bailey.

In other action James Marshall of Saint Leonard, MD took home the Budweiser Modified feature taking the lead from Josh Harris on lap 4. In the 305 Sprint Car 25 lap feature Jeff Van Steenburg of West Shokan, NY led flag to flag in dominating fashion to take the win. In the Truckin Thunder Sportsman 30 lap feature Tim Shelton of Fredericksburg, VA took the lead from Tony Wood on lap 3 on way to the victory and in the Limited Stock Car 25 lap feature James Givens of New Kent, VA took the lead from Brett Adkins on lap 15, when Adkins car began to have engine trouble and went on for the win.
