Flood Ends the Fast Friday Racing

After over five inches of rain and more on the way left the speedway under water and like a swamp forcing the Fast Friday Final to be cancelled.

Next week it’s back to Winchester Speedway in Winchester, Va. for a co-sanctioned event with the Laurel Highlands Sprint Series, PA Sprint Series and the Virginia Sprint Series all joining for the big event.

Daren Bolac The Moyac Missile Blasts off

Last week at Langley Speedway Daren Bolac had a good run in the CCM Racing sprinter and this week he had a better run blasting off the front row keeping his car under him and taking his first ever pavement win.

Heats on the really hot sunny day started off with Aaron Leach and Jerald Harris taking wins before it was off to the feature.

Daren Bolac and Bill Mullis paced the field to green with Bolac out first and Mullis in second but on the way were Jerald Harris and Caleb Harris closing in.

Bolac continued out front even as Mullis kept making charges and even pulled along side a couple laps but Bolac would keep it up front.

Jerald and Caleb Harris worked on Mullis and got by now chasing Bolac but they were hard on their tires to get there as well.

On lap fifteen Jerald Harris made it to the lead but Bolac was keeping the pressure on as Mullis was keeping the pressure on Caleb Harris.

Caleb’s tire was worn out as Mullis got by and on lap nineteen Jerald’s tire was finished as Bolac went back to the lead as Mullis made it back to second.

With four to go the top two were never more than a car length apart and Daren and Mullis kept the cars under them and with the checkered flag waving Mullis went low to try one final charge but it was Daren Bolac flashing under the checkered flag first.

At the line it was Daren Bolac, Bill Mullis, Aaron Leach, Matt Mullins, Matthew Leach, John Smith, Jerald Harris, Caleb Harris, French Grimes, Billy Hubbard and Chris Ware.

Next week the VSS is off before heading back to Dixieland Speedway for the Fast Friday Final on July 19th
