Young Lassos Field
Drew Young before getting into IMCA RaceSaver Spints was a long-time rodeo cowboy and he moved over his skills and put a lasso on the field to take his first win of the year. Hot, humid and clear skies met the drivers of the regional series in a co-sanctioned event at the northern Virginia oval. Heats kicked off the night with AJ Barton, Kolby Weaver and Kasey Weaver taking wins. It was a quick turnaround for the feature with Drew Young and Matthew Leach pacing the field to green. Young leapt to the lead with Leach falling in behind followed by Ryan Lynn, AJ Barton and Landon Price close behind. Laps clicked by fast as Young had a good line keeping Leach behind until a stalled car for a quick yellow tightened up the field. Back to green and Young went right back to what was working and stayed up front as the pack kept right with him lap after lap. Another quick yellow for a spin would make a dash to the finish but Young never made a mistake Leach could take advantage of as they headed for the finish. Young never got away from the chasing pack but he stayed strong to the waving checkered flag for his first win of the year with Leach having his best finish in second. At the line it was Drew Young, Matthew Leach, Ryan Lynn, Kasey Weaver, Paul Moyer, Kolby Weaver, Kruz Kepner, Tyler Schell, Dylan Shatzer, Donnie Hendershot, Breaden Varner, Jerald Harris, Jarrett Cavalet, Ken Duke, Hunter McFadden, AJ Barton, Redd Thompson, Aaron Leach, Daren Bolac, Matt Mullins, Chris Dolan, Landon Price, Ethan Beasom, John Smith and Chris Ware. |
