Track records were recorded in the Victory Lap Late Models with Justin Williams turning a lap at 18.093 seconds and Chris Arnold breaking his own track record for the second week in a row with a lap of 19.101 seconds.

In the Victory Lap Late Model Twin 20’s the action went three wide right off the drop of the green flag. Troy Williams would grab the top spot with John Staton following in close pursuit. On the next circuit Justin Williams took over the runner-up spot and set out to catch Williams for the lead. J. Williams tried several times to get by T. Williams for the lead but T. Williams had enough to go on to his career first late model win. Rounding out the top 5 were Justin Williams, Billy Tucker wins, John Staton and David Puckett. Richard Harden picked up the Fastrak Pro Late Model win.

The second late model feature started with a huge pile-up in turn 1 that took out several cars. On the restart John Staton pulled away to take the lead over Justin Williams. A caution on lap 7 closed the field on Staton’s bumper. That is all Williams needed. On the drop of the green flag Willimas dove under Staton in turn one to take the lead and once out front set sail leading the remaining laps to pick up his second win of the season. John Saton, Joe Ender, Stephen Childress and Anthony Kincaid rounded out the top five. David Padual picked up the Fastrak Pro Late Model win.

In the first Twin 15 for the Trucking Thunder Sportsman Junior Carter used a three wide pass out of turn 2 on lap 2 to take over second. On lap 4 Carter then used an inside move out of turn 4 to take the lead. Carter survived several restarts after cautions and went on to pick up the win. Davey Pullen, Brett Adkins, Hunter Shelton and Carl Vaughan rounded out the top five.

In the final feature for the Truckin Thunder Sportsman Brett Adkins took the lead on the drop of the green flag and dominated the 15 lap affair. Adkins was never challenged and went on to record his second win of the season with Davey Pullen, Hunter Shelton, Tommy Upshaw and Timmy Brinn rounding out the top five. Brinn was the Pitts Lumber rookie of the Race in both twin features.

In the first Twin 15 lap event for the Budweiser Modifieds Mike Reynolds took over the top spot on lap 6 when then leader Jimmy Duncan spun in turn 3. Once out front Reynolds set a blistering pace while Chris Arnold kept the rest of the field at bay. Arnold would battle the hard charging Duncan for third while Reynolds went on to win. Chris Arnold, Jimmy Duncan, Matt Quade and Joey Polevoy rounded out the top five.

Twin #2 started off three wide with Neal Hudgins leading the first circuit. Chris Arnold took over the top spot on lap 2 with a three wide pass to the outside out of turn 2. Once out front Arnold set sail with Matt Quade trying to close the gap. Quade had one last chance when a caution came out with tow to go. On the restart Arnold pulled away for the win with Quade, Joey Polevoy, Francis Jarrell and Neal Hudgins rounding out the top five.

The Collision One Limited Stock Car Twin 12’s were the most entertaining of the evening. In the first feature Brandon Sandridge battled with Travis Hopkins for the first four circuits until muscling his way to the lead on lap 5. Sandridge would then have to hold off Wesley Givens for the remaining eight laps to pick up the win followed by Givens, Brian Maxey, David Bowler and Travis Hopkins.

In the second feature for the Collision One Limited Stock division Brian Maxey jumped out to the lead and once out front never looked back. Wesley Givens and Brandon Sandridge did their best to reel in the leader but it was all Maxey as he went on to the win followed by Givens, Sandridge, Travis Hopkins and Brian Bradley rounding out the top five.

“We are extremely excited to host this event and to help raise money and awareness for ChildHelp. We have to thank Tom and Judy Brooks of Truckin Thunder for bringing us this idea, they have been a tremendous sponsor and are a tremendous custodian of the community,” commented General Manager Clarke Sawyer.

The event will run as part of Scout Night at the Races and the Speedway’s 4th of July celebration. Gates will open at 3pm for registration with the Dirtwood National Pinewood Derby starting at 4pm. After the Dirtwood Nationals all Scouts (Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts and Girl Scouts) if wearing their uniform will get free admission to enjoy a night of full sized dirt car racing and a huge 4th of July fireworks display that is sure to please the whole family. During the evenings festivities the Speedway will also help in raising money and awareness for the charity ChildHelp®.

“I can’t wait for the first Dirtwood Nationals event on June 30th. Pairing a pinewood derby event with a full scale racing night at Virginia Motor Speedway seems a natural. 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 Child Help Villages here in Virginia. Helping them with their work of rehabilitating and caring for severely abused and neglected children is very important to me,” commented Truckin Thunder owner Tom Brooks.

There will be three divisions for the Dirtwood Nationals, Scouts, fans and Virginia Motor Speedway competitors. A champion will be crown in each division and then there will be a run-off to see who will be the overall Dirtwood Nationals Pinewood Derby Champion. Standard Scouting pinewood derby rules will govern the races. For anyone wanting to participate but not having a pinewood derby car, a limited quantity will be available for rent for a $10 donation to ChildHelp.

For more information on the Dirtwood Nationals and Scout Night call the track at (804) 758-1867.
