For over a year, victory had eluded Bobby McCarty in the Solid Rock Carriers CARS Tour.
In Saturday’s race at Dominion Raceway in Woodford, Virginia, McCarty edged Brenden Queen in a photo finish by 0.009 seconds for his 11th LMSC Tour win.
A late restart served as the catalyst for an intense battle between Queen and Carson Kvapil for the win while McCarty sat in third. As the two leaned on each other heavily in the closing laps, McCarty knew he would have just one opportunity to finally end his prolonged winless streak.
“I felt like I ran way too hard with (Queen) earlier and I started to lose drive,” said McCarty. “(He and Kvapil) got to racing, so I went off into turn 1 high, wide, and handsome. That was either going to get us the lead or put us in the fence, but at that point, I didn’t care.”
Queen had to settle for a second place result, with Mini Tyrrell in third, Kvapil in fourth, and Connor Hall in fifth.
Landon Pembelton, Mason Diaz, Chad McCumbee, Connor Zilisch, and Conner Jones rounded out the top 10.
The next race for both the CARS Late Model Stock Car Tour and Pro Late Model Tour will be on a Wednesday, June 28 at Caraway Speedway in Sophia, North Carolina. For more information, visit CARSRacingTour.com.
