In just his fourth start of the season, Hayden Woods scored his first ever NASCAR Whelen All-American Series Late Model Stock Car feature win on Friday night at Tennessee’s Kingsport Speedway.
It also marked the first-ever victory in a stock car for the 22-year-old from Piney Flats, Tennessee.
Woods was fastest in qualifying with a lap at 15.062 seconds, but following roll of the dice the top four were inverted. That meant Joey Trent and Zeke Shell started from the front row, with Kres VanDyke and Woods in row two.
Shell jumped out to the lead at the start of the 60-lap feature over Trent, Woods, VanDyke and Robbie Ferguson. Woods passed Trent for second on lap five, VanDyke to in tow. The first caution of the night flew on lap 21 when contact between Wayne Hale and Trey Bayne sent Bayne spinning.
On the restart, Shell and Woods brought the field back up to speed from the front row, with VanDyke and Trent behind them in the second row. Coming up through the gears Trent appeared to miss a shift, which jammed up the field on the front straightaway, sending Allen Hawkins spinning in turn one to quickly bring the caution back out.
Back under green Shell was leading Woods, VanDyke and Ferguson, while a three-car battle behind them involved Trent, Dennis and Bayne. Racing down the front straightaway into the first turn on lap 30, Trent and Dennis spun to produce a caution.
Only one lap back up to speed, with Shell once again leading Woods and VanDyke, between turns one and two VanDyke looked to the inside of Woods trying to take the position and contact sent Woods spinning to bring the caution out. Woods was forced to restart at rear of the field, while VanDyke was also relegated to the back for getting into Woods.
When racing resumed, Shell was showing the way out front over Ferguson, Bayne, Trey Lane and Hodge. Between laps 31-40, there were two additional cautions for spins by Trey Lane and Kyle Lockrow.
Following the lap 31 incident between Woods and VanDyke, both drivers were working their way back to the front, and the cautions brought out by Trey Lane and Lockrow aided them in advancing forward. Woods made a bold move going three-wide with Bayne and Trent on lap 36 between turns one and two as he moved into third in the running order behind Shell and Ferguson.
Woods began working on Ferguson for second and barely held the advantage at the start-finish line the lap before Lockrow spun on lap 40, thus giving him the position through scoring. On the restart, Shell and Woods raced each other side-by-side for two laps before Shell moved ahead. The final caution waved on lap 44 when Hodge slowed to a stop high between turns three and four.
Woods got the advantage on the restart, powering to the lead. He went on to capture the victory over Shell in second, VanDyke in third, Ferguson in fourth and Bayne in fifth.
Trent, Dennis, Hale, Derek Lane and Lockrow rounded out the top ten.
In other action, Royce Peters scord his third Modified Street win of the season over Chase Dixon, with Alex Miller in third, Joey Sykes in fourth and Kevin Wolfe in fifth.
Bruce Crumbley recorded his third Pure 4 feature victory of the season over Brandon Sutherland, followed by William Hale in third and Craig Phelps in fourth.
Brad Ball and Kevin Canter got together on lap 18 while battling for the lead in the Mod 4 feature and spun coming to a stop against the inside wall along the front straightaway to bring out the caution. Both were forced to restart at rear of the field, but each quickly worked their way back toward the front with Canter recording his seventh win of the season. Canter was chased to the checkered flag by his 74-year-old grandfather Hershell Robinette, with Billy Duty in third, Ball in fourth and Zack Fritz in fifth.
Joey Sykes scored his fourth Pure Street feature win by outrunning Rob Austin, with Dave Strong, Jay Swecker and Kevin Darnell rounding out the top five.
Jeremy Mullins captured his second Vintage win on the season over William Jones in second, Tim Austin in third and Calvin Crabtree in fourth.
