CARS Tour Race at South Boston, VA

[ron.brown11]

The CARS Tour "Old man" Deak McCaskill won the 125 lapper for the Late Model Stocks. Deak started second but led every lap in winning. What a drive. Pole sitter Layne Riggs, driving Kevin Harvick's #62 was second, and he had several times where he could have dumped Deak in the late going and didn't. Very classy in my book. Bobby McCarty finished third. Brendan Queen finished fourth, and Carson Kvapil finished with. Kvapil still has the points lead over Queen, but by a couple of points less then what he started the night with. There were a 3 cautions for accidents, but thankfully none that were severe. But 2 of them did have drivers looking for retaliation. Thankfully cooler heads or tough officials kept it from getting out of control. The first half of the race had Chad MCCumby running 4th behind Deak, Riggs & McCarty. All 4 were driving Ford Mustangs. McCumby was the only one that couldn't hang there at the front. Queen was in his Toyota, and Kvapil in his JR Motorsports Camaro. To add some fun to the night, the State Fair was very visible right behind the back stretch all night..

Being that this was a CARS Tour race, I was really disappointed that Kaden Honeycutt wasn't there for the race, bummer.He was listed in the 9th position in the points prior to the start of tonight's race Hopefully there isn't any issues between Kaden & Mike Darne.

In the CARS Tour Pro Late Model show, what a race!! Nick Loden has been taken out of 4 races this year, especially the spectacular crash at North Wilksboro. This guy was in third or higher all race, after sitting on the pole. Go to FloRacing's site and can watch the highlights without being a subscriber. The top five finishers were all right there together at the finish, This was an awesome race!! The late model race was good, but the  Pro Late Model race was even better,Loden wins; Cole Butcher 2nd, Kvapil 3rd and Katie Hettenger finished 4th. Unfortunately she has lost the points lead to Kvapil. She3 put on one hell of a drive to get that 4th too. While running 5th, she and another car got together and it dislodged her hood.She dropped to last after going pitied to have it reattached. She made a hell of a drive to get back up front
