Josh Richards took the lead from Davey Johnson on lap five of the 25-lap main event on Tuesday night at East Bay Raceway Park in Tampa, Florida, and went on to score the Lucas Oil Dirt Late Model Series Winternationals victory.
It marked the seventh career East Bay victory for the Shinnston, West Virginia racer, as he held off Tim Dohm for the win.
Richards earned the outside front row for the main event after a last-lap pass on Austin Hubbard in a pivotal heat race number three.
Hubbard came home in third, followed by Devin Moran in fourth and David Breazeale in fifth.
“We made a lot of changes from last night, we worked our way back to seventh last night, so tonight was a whole lot better,” said Richards. “The pass on Austin (Hubbard) on the final lap of that heat race was crucial. Davey (Johnson) started off good. We stayed right with him until we were able to get around him.”
Dohm – a former winner at East Bay – was happy with his second-place finish.
“To run second behind Josh Richards, it was a good night then,” Dohm said. “I love East Bay. I was way better tonight than I was last night. I hope the track stays like this all week. When you can hit the brown surface instead of that little sliver of black out there it sure makes for a better race.”
Hubbard’s third-place run continues improvement for the driver who suffered through a tough 2016 season.
“This was another good finish for us,” said Hubbard. “I kept the car straight, and it gets better every night. I am getting back in the groove. We are on the podium, so it’s one step closer to winning. Josh passed me on the last lap of the heat and that prevented me from starting on the front row. He ran a great race so congratulations to him and his team.”
Tyler Erb, Hudson O’Neal, Michael Lake, Ricky Weiss and Dennis Erb, Jr. rounded out the top ten finishers.
