For the second straight week, Nik Williams swept the twin NASCAR Whelen All-American Series Late Model Stock Car features at Tennessee’s Kingsport Speedway on Friday night.
With the victories, the 21-year-old has scored five consecutive wins at the high banked 0.375-mile concrete oval.
Kres VanDyke was fastest in qualifying at 15.027 seconds, with Williams close behind in second at 15.060. Williams wasted no time in flexing his muscle as he grabbed the lead over VanDyke, Hayden Woods, Zeke Shell and Trey Bayne.
From there, there was no catching Williams, as he easily captured the win. VanDyke stayed within striking distance, but had to settle for second, with Bayne in third, Woods in fourth and Shell in fifth.
Per NASCAR Whelen All-American Series rules, the top eight finishers are inverted when track’s host twin features. The front row for the second 35-lap race had Hale and McCarty leading the field to green. The veteran Hale jumped out to the lead over McCarty, Ferguson, Woods and Shell.
Hale’s lead was short-lived, as McCarty drove around him on the second lap off turn two to move ahead. VanDyke passed Shell for the fifth spot on lap 5.
With McCarty all alone out front, behind him the battle for position was intense between Hale, Ferguson, Woods and VanDyke. Kingsport Speedway’s version of the “big one” happened on lap 14, when contact between Hale and Ferguson created chaos exiting the fourth turn onto the front straightaway.
Hale’s car turned sideways and with nowhere to go Woods, VanDyke and Shell all piled in together, with Woods car coming to a rest sitting on top of Hale’s ride to bring the red flag out for the blocked track. With safety crews quickly on the scene along with track officials, Hale and Woods were able to climb from their badly damaged cars while both VanDyke and Shell headed into the pits for attention from their crews.
On the restart, McCarty took the lead over Ferguson, Williams, Bayne and Trent. Racing off the fourth turn on lap 18, Williams took second place from Ferguson. The event’s second caution waved on lap 20 when VanDyke suddenly slowed to a stop in the fourth turn.
McCarty and Williams battled for the lead off the double-file restart, and before they could get back around to complete one green flag lap on the scoreboard, Williams nudged McCarty to get his car out of shape in the fourth turn. That was all it took for Williams to take a lead he would never relinquish.
Behind the leader, McCarty and Bayne battled for the runner-up position. The caution waved again on lap 29 when Bayne spun between turns three and four. Both Bayne and McCarty were sent to rear of the field for the restart.
Williams once again grabbed the lead on the restart and went on to take his second division win of the night over Ferguson, Derek Lane, Trent and Trey Lane.
In other action, Chase Dixon scored his second straight Modified Street victory, with Royce Peters in second, Rusty Clendenin in third, Alex Miller in fourth and Hannah Seal in fifth.
Keith Helton took the lead of the Pure 4 feature on lap 24, and went on to record his division-leading sixth win of the season. Brandon Sutherland came home in second, followed by Bruce Crumbley in third, Craig Phelps in fourth and Jason Ketron in fifth.
Kevin Canter recorded his tenth Mod 4 feature victory of the season, with Zach Fritz, Billy Duty, David Brown and Hershell Robinette rounding out the top five.
Rob Austin passed Dave Strong on lap four of the Pure Street feature, and went on to score the win. Strong finished second, with Jay Swecker third, Penny Hurd fourth and Mike Blair fifth.
