Peyton Sellers swept the pair of 75-lap NASCAR Advance Auto Parts Weekly Series Late Model Stock Car Division races Saturday night at Virginia’s South Boston Speedway, virtually locking up his sixth career track championship in the process.

“Honestly, anybody could have driven this car tonight,” Sellers remarked after scoring his third win in a row and his eighth win this season at South Boston. “It was on rails. The first race the car was a handful. It was loose, it was sideways, but everybody else was too. To come back and make some adjustments to the car and be so good at the end of the second race is hats off to H.C. (his brother and crew chief H.C. Sellers) and all of the guys on my team.”

The Ringgold, Virginia resident started third in the opening 75-lap race and muscled his way past leader Landon Pembelton on the 27th circuit to take the lead. Once in front Sellers stayed in command the rest of the way, edging runner-up Mike Looney by 1.185 seconds.

Pole winner Carter Langley finished third with Jacob Borst fourth and Trey Crews fifth.

Despite having to start the second race at midfield in 11th position as a result of having won two races in a row, Sellers was able to get to the front of the field just as quickly as he did in the first race.

Deftly picking up positions, Sellers worked his way around Crews on the 20th lap to take the lead. As was the case in the opener, once he got in front Sellers never relinquished the lead.

Borst took the runner-up spot in the nightcap with Crews finishing third. Pembelton finished fourth, followed by Chris Throckmorton in fifth.

The second race saw the lead change hands twice among three drivers with Sellers leading the final 56 laps. Three caution periods slowed the action.

Jason Myers Wins Third Straight Limited Sportsman Feature

Jason Myers had not won a Limited Sportsman Division race until he swept a twin-race event at South Boston Speedway on August 7. Saturday night, he made it three wins in a row.

Myers took the win the hard way, electing to start at the rear of the 13-car field in an attempt to collect extra points toward the track’s Limited Sportsman Division title and driving to the front to score his third career victory.

“I knew we had a good car,” Myers remarked. “I also knew it was going to be tough. As you come up through the field the cars get harder and harder to pass. Luckily there was a caution that bunched us back up and I was able to pick off a few cars quickly. I got an opportunity when I needed it.”

Myers said the three wins in a row is a family milestone, and one he hopes to break.

“My dad (former South Boston Speedway Limited Sportsman Division champion Billy Myers) told me before I came to the track the most races he has won consecutively is three in a row,” Myers said. “I at least have tied him, now I want to try to beat him.”

He took the lead from Daniel Crews with 11 laps to go and held on to edge Crews by .599-second for the win. Daniel Moss finished third, with Drew Dawson in fourth, and J.D. Eversole in fifth.

The race was a highly competitive one, with the lead changing hands three times among four drivers.

The race was slowed by two caution periods.

Scott Phillips, Nathan Crews Split Budweiser Pure Stock Division Twinbill

Scott Phillips broke a lengthy win drought Saturday night, starting on the pole and scoring a flag-to-flag win in the first of Saturday night’s pair of 15-lap Budweiser Pure Stock Division races.

Phillips finished .394-second ahead of Justin Dawson. Division points leader Nathan Crews finished third, followed by Johnny Layne in fourth and Bruce Mayo in fifth.

Crews started third in the second race, grabbed the lead on the opening lap, and scored a flag-to-flag win. It marked Crews’ 10th victory in 12 starts at South Boston this season.

Mayo took the runner-up spot 2.729 seconds behind Crews in the caution-free race. Layne finished third, with Dawson fourth and Phillips fifth.

Josh Dawson Scores Seventh Budweiser Hornets Win Of The Season

Josh Dawson started at the rear of the field, sped past pole starter Jason DeCarlo to take the lead with two laps to go and held on to win Saturday night’s 15-lap Budweiser Hornets Division race.

The win was the seventh victory for Dawson in his nine starts at the speedway this season.

DeCarlo hung on to take the runner-up spot. Former division champion Kevin Currin, Steven Layne, and Kendall Milam rounded out the top five in the caution-free race.
