Bradley McCaskill and Steve Wallace Conquer Concord Speedway in CARS Tour Lead 2 Real Estate 200

 

CONCORD, NC (Aug. 30, 2015) -- The Championship Auto Racing Series (CARS) Racing Tour reawakened the high-banked, fast and tricky tri-oval that is Concord Speedway in two wild 100 lap races on Saturday night as part of the Lead 2 Real Estate 200. Bradley McCaskill (Late Model Stock Car) and Steve Wallace (Super Late Model) took home their first career CARS Tour wins in very different fashions.

 

Late Model Stock Car Recap:

 

Championship contender Myatt Snider qualified on the Hedgecock Racing pole with Mike Darne alongside. The McCaskill family, Bradley then Deac made up row two to begin the 100 lap race.

From there, Snider grabbed the early lead with Deac McCaskill behind in lockstep as the two put a gap in excess of two seconds on the field for the first quarter of the race. Deac completed a pass to take the lead away from Snider on lap 23, while Bradley McCaskill and veteran Jamey Caudill lurked in the third and fourth spots.

 

After a lap 25 restart, Snider retook the lead from Deac and Bradley also snuck around for second. Five laps later, Bradley McCaskill also took advantage of a restart and put the Graphix Unlimited No. 18 out front for the first time.

 

On lap 39, incoming championship point leader Brayton Haws made contact with Terry Brooks, Jr. in turn three and nearly backed his Ford into the outside wall. Haws continued with no apparent damage and rallied home to a sixth place finish.

 

In the closing laps, Snider was in position to capture his first CARS Tour win, but contact as Deac McCaskill made a move for the lead in turn one sent Deac around for spin, and set up a restart with only six laps to go.

 

Although Snider got the jump on the final restart and cleared his pursuers, Bradley McCaskill laid the bumper to Snider more than once in the final three circuits. Exiting turn three as they came to the white flag, McCaskill finally used enough force and got underneath Snider for the lead. The part-time driver of the No. 18 held off Snider to take his first career CARS Tour win.

 

Snider finished a disappointing second with Tommy Lemons in third, followed by Clay Rogers and Justin Hobgood.

 

Super Late Model Recap:

 

Steve Wallace drove his Jet Tools / LFR Chassis Chevrolet to the most dominant performance so of the 2015 CARS Racing Tour season with a wire-to-wire victory. Wallace began the 100 lap contest from the Mahle Pistons pole and held off early challenges from Nemco Motorsports driver Dominque VanWieringen.

 

Championship leader Cole Timm made his move with 30 laps to go and wrestled the second spot away from VanWieringen. He then began to run down Wallace for the lead.

 

Timm made several attempts to work around Wallace for the lead, but Wallace fended off Timm’s advances every time and never gave up the lead en route to Edelbrock victory lane.

 

Following Wallace and Timm to the stripe were VanWieringen, Harrison Burton and Quin Houff.
