Joe Armistead, Jr. and his son Joey Armistead celebrated Father’s Day one evening early as the duo won swept their respective features Saturday night at Senoia Raceway in Senoia, GA.
Armistead, Jr. nabbed a victory in the Super Late Model division while his 17-year-old son won the Limited Late Model feature. It was the second time this season the Senoia racing family has won on the same night.
Joe Armistead, Jr. took advantage of crazy turn of events on lap 17 of the Super Late Model feature. Austin Smith looked to be in control, leading by several car lengths when a huge plume of white smoke came out from under the car driven by Mason Massey. Austin Smith slowed down, expecting a caution, when Armistead, Jr. and Clint ‘Cat Daddy’ Smith passed him going down the back stretch. When Austin Smith realized there was not going to be a caution he hit the gas, but it was too late as the aggressors had cleared him and were moving away.
“I thought I heard the call for caution on the Raceiver,” said Austin Smith. “Whatever was said was not real clear.”
Race Director Scott Duffey and all Senoia Raceway officials agreed that there was not a call for the caution on the Raceiver and that only a command for the slower car of Massey to get on the low side of the track to access the pit area was transmitted.
The race ran clean through the end of the race and Armistead, Jr. was in victory lane for the third time this season. Clint Smith ended up second ahead of Austin Smith. Scott Groves finished in fourth ahead of Ricky Williams.
In the Limited Late Model feature, Joey Armistead inherited the lead on lap 7 after the race’s initial leader, Shane Criswell, blew an engine. Armistead would use that opportunity to get out front and let his opponents battle with each other behind him. The third generation driver went on to win his fifth of the season ahead of Glenn Morris and Matt Dooley. Clifton Moran ran fourth while Marcus Caswell finished in fifth.
In the B Cadet feature, Corey Hillman jumped out to the early lead as Jake Traylor sliced his way into the second place position. Traylor challenged Hillman for several laps while Blant Duke climbed through the field from his fourth row starting position.
Duke passed Traylor on lap six for second and then set his sights on the leader. The next lap he caught Hillman as the two came upon lapped traffic. Duke went to the high side of turn one, clipping the right rear quarter panel of Hillman. The two cars locked together and could not get loose as they spun to the inside of the track causing the race’s first caution.
Another caution on lap 9 saw Duke, while trying to get back to the front, clip Brandon Bright’s car, sending him into a spin that collected Hillman and Benny Croy.
That caution allowed Parrish Duncan to start closer to Traylor on the restart, which resulted in him passing the youngster for the lead on lap 11. Duncan never let go of the lead cruising to his second straight win and fourth of the season. Craig Scott was able to work past Traylor to finish in second. Traylor ended up third, with Bailey Temple in fourth and Josh Copeland in fifth.
Ryan Crane remained undefeated in the Crate Late Models at Senoia Raceway, winning for the second time in as many appearances. Crane shot past Zach Shelton on lap five and then never looked back as he scored the win. Shelton would finish in second ahead of point’s leader Bobby Mills. Kyle Clifton finished fourth, with Trey Wood in fifth.
A competitive race between Lee Owenby, Jr. and Shane Tizwell highlighted the Bomber feature. Owenby slammed the door shut every time that Tizwell tried to make a run. In the end, it was Owenby scoring his second win of the year, while Tizwell remained shut out of victory lane. Tim Harmon, Blake Harmon and Jim Jackson rounded out the top five.
In the Legends feature, Zach Leonhardi led every lap with only a few late race challenges from Jason Treschl. It was his third win of the season, while Treschl also remains without a feature victory. Dwight Pilgram finished in third, ahead of Robbie Woodall in fourth and Christopher Clanton in fifth.
Senoia Raceway returns to action on Saturday, June 28, with the Super Late Models, Limited Late Models, Crate Late Models, B Cadets, Hobby Stocks, Mini Stocks, Bombers and Legends all competing.
