Sixteen-year-old Macy Causey became the first woman to win a NASCAR Whelen All American Series Late Model Stock Car Division race at Virginia’s South Boston Speedway Saturday night as she survived the wreck-plagued first race of the Bojangles NASCAR Whelen Late Model Twin 75s to score her first career win.
Philip Morris wrestled the lead from Peyton Sellers with seven laps to go and sped to a 2.685-second victory in the night’s second 75-lap race.
Causey’s win was her first career triumph in NASCAR Whelen All American Series Late Model Stock Car Division racing, and was her first career win in a full-bodied stockcar.
Causey found herself in the right place at the right time as mishaps either eliminated or caused enough damage to knock several top contenders out of a chance to win.
The mayhem started when Lee Pulliam’s engine blew on lap 21 while leading the race, causing him to spin and trigger others behind him to wreck including Morris and Sellers.
Danny Willis, Jr., Brandon Pierce and Sellers were among those involved in a mishap on lap 44. With two laps to go, Ryan Repko and Austin Thaxton were eliminated in a hard crash while battling for the lead.
That put Causey on the inside of the front row next to Pierce for the final restart. She surged past Pierce on the final lap, edging out the win by a .286-second margin. Jason Barnes finished third, with Raymond Pittman III in fourth and Jason Pittman in fifth.
The nightcap was a battle between Sellers and Morris for the win, with Morris taking the lead with eight laps to go after contact between the two cars forced Sellers’ car to slide to the top of the track.
Once in front, Morris sped away to score his second win of the season at the .4-mile oval. Pierce finished third behind Morris and Sellers, with Willis and Causey rounding out the top five.
In other action, 16-year-old Colin Garrett scored his first-ever stockcar racing victory Saturday night, and did it in dominating fashion in the 40-lap NASCAR Limited Sportsman Division race.
The race had originally been scheduled for 50 laps, but due to lengthy weather delays, was scaled back to 40 laps.
Garrett won his third straight pole of the season in qualifying and led the entire race, finishing 5.83 seconds ahead of runner-up Barry Beggarly, Jr. David Latour, Jr. finished in third, with Trey Crews in fourth and Eric Winslow in fifth.
Adkins Wins Pure Stock Race
A third new winner emerged at South Boston Speedway Saturday night, as Quincy Adkins scored his first win in the 20-lap race for the Budweiser Pure Stock Division.
Defending division champion Johnny Layne gave Adkins a tough battle in the closing laps, with Adkins taking the lead on the final lap, and edging Layne by a half a car length at the finish line.
Randy Hupp finished third, with Harrison Walker fourth and Bruce Mayo fifth.
Drew Dawson took the lead with two laps to go and won the 15-lap Budweiser Hornets Division race. The win was Dawson’s second of the season.
Kevin Currin, Connor Priest, Matthew Epps and Jared Dawson rounded out the top five.
NASCAR racing action returns to South Boston Speedway on Saturday night, June 3 with the NASCAR Late Model 100 racing program.
