Peyton Sellers took another step forward in defending last season’s track championship Saturday night with a sweep of the Southern Virginia Higher Education Center NASCAR Late Model Twin 75s at Virginia’s South Boston Speedway.
Saturday night’s pair of wins gives Sellers three wins in a row and a total of six wins this season at South Boston.
Looking to pick up passing points to aid in his quest for the track title, Sellers started last in the field, picked his way through traffic, and sped past former NASCAR Whelen All American Series national champion Lee Pulliam on lap 53 to take the lead.
Once in front, Sellers had everything his way, and edged Pulliam by 2.738 seconds to take the win. Austin Thaxton finished in third, with Nicholas Sanchez in fourth and Thomas Scott in fifth in the opener.
Starting 10th in the nightcap, Sellers again threaded his way to the front of the field. It was on the second of two bids Sellers made for the lead against Pulliam that he succeeded in taking the lead. Just like in the first race, once Sellers took the lead on lap 51 he had everything go his way.
Pulliam finished 1.819-second behind Sellers with Scott, Thaxton and Jeb Burton rounding out the top five.
Burton, who recorded a top-10 finish in Thursday night’s NASCAR Gander Outdoors Truck Series race at Kentucky Speedway, won the pole for Saturday night’s opening Late Model Stock Car Division race driving a car out of the Sellers Racing stable. He finished 13th in the first race after taking the car to pit road following an early-race spin.
There were two lead changes between Pulliam and Sellers in the opening race and two lead changes among three drivers in the nightcap with Mike Jones, Pulliam and Sellers taking a turn at the front of the field.
In other action, J.D. Eversole and Danny Willis, Jr. split wins in twin 25-lap Limited Sportsman Division races.
Eversole’s victory was his first win at South Boston Speedway since the 2014 season. Willis’ win in the nightcap was his third victory of the season at the .4-mile oval.
In the opening race, Eversole edged Willis for the win by .338-second, with Drew Dawson, Jason Myers and Daniel Moss rounding out the top five finishers.
Dawson finished second to Willis in the nightcap, with Jacob Borst finishing third, Eversole taking fourth and Myers in fifth.
Jordan Pickrel took the lead from Justin Dawson on the 17th lap and sped to victory in the 30-lap Budweiser Pure Stock Division race.
The win was the fourth victory of the season for Pickrel at South Boston.
Randy Hupp finished in the runner-up spot, with Dawson in third, Bruce Mayo in fourth and Jimmy Wade in fifth.
Kevin Currin crossed the finish line behind Jared Dawson in the 15-lap Budweiser Hornets Division race, but was declared the winner after Dawson’s car failed to pass a post-race technical inspection.
The victory was the second of the season for Currin.
Steven Layne, Josh Dawson, Aaron Cash and Andrea Ruotolo Sarnataro rounded out the top five.
