Lee Pulliam fended off challenges from NASCAR Camping World Truck Series star Timothy Peters and former NASCAR national champion Peyton Sellers to win Saturday night’s Bojangles NASCAR Whelen Late Model 150 at South Boston Speedway in South Boston, VA.

Pulliam, the reigning NASCAR Whelen All American Series National Champion, drove away from Sellers over the final 40 laps and edged Sellers by 1.774 seconds to score his eighth win of the season at South Boston Speedway and his 11th win overall for the season.

Peters, from Danville, VA, finished third with C.E. Falk III of Virginia Beach, VA and Bruce Anderson of South Boston, VA rounding out the top five finishers.

Ronald Hill of Rougemont, NC finished sixth and Patrick Coleman of Greensboro, NC finished seventh. The top seven drivers finished on the lead lap.

Mark Wertz of Virginia Beach, VA, Eric Winslow of Danville, VA and Austin Thaxton of Cluster Springs, VA completed the top ten finishers.

Pulliam led twice in the race for a total of 127 laps, with Peters leading the other 23 laps of the race.

Peters took the lead from Pulliam on lap 13 on the restart that followed the race’s first caution period. Pulliam regained the lead on lap 37 and held it the rest of the way.

Sellers passed Peters to grab second place with 40 laps left in the race. The former South Boston Speedway and NASCAR national champion tried to run down Pulliam in the late stages of the race but came up short.

Six cars in the 18-car starting field were involved in a crash in the second turn on the third lap of the race. All suffered varying amounts of damage with three drivers that have been top contenders throughout the season, Bobby McCarty, Dustin Storm and Josh Oakley, unable to continue after the mishap.

Pulliam averaged 65.831 mph in winning the race.

Jones started on the outside pole and took the lead from pole winner and division points leader Danny Willis Jr. of Cluster Springs, VA on the third lap and led the rest of the way. Willis made a run at Jones on the final lap, diving underneath Jones’ car in the second turn, but Jones was able to hold off Willis for the win.

Jones’ margin of victory was .151-second.

Michael Maresca of Hannawa Falls, NY finished third with Caleb Davis of Thaxton, VA and Garrett Bunch of Front Royal, VA rounding out the top five finishers.
