Barnes, VanDyke Split Late Model Wins At Lonesome Pine

Kyle Barnes and Kres VanDyke both visited victory lane Saturday at Lonesome Pine Raceway in Coeburn, VA in twin 35-lap NASCAR Whelen All-American Series Late Model Stock Car features.

Barnes, a regular competitor at Kingsport Speedway in Kingsport, TN, became the only driver other than VanDyke to visit victory lane at LPR this season.

Lance Gatlin qualified on the pole position for the first 35-lap Late Model Stock feature.

Kres VanDyke would work his way into the lead on the opening lap. The first caution would wave on lap three as the No. 28 spun around in turn four. VanDyke would regain the lead on the ensuing restart, but debris in turn three would force the caution to be displayed soon after. VanDyke moved back to the lead as the field took the green flag. Working lap 23, a spin in turn two would have the yellow flag waving again.

On the restart, VanDyke would choose the inside with Barnes pulling to the outside. VanDyke and Barnes would battle door to door until Barnes captured the lead on lap 28. VanDyke would make a late charge, but Barnes would not be denied his first career victory at Lonesome Pine Raceway.

“It’s absolutely amazing for all of us,” said Barnes.

Barnes also won his first career Late Model race on Friday night at Kingsport Speedway.

“(Friday) night was my first-ever win and to come out to Lonesome Pine, miss both practices and still get a win was incredible,” he said.

Barnes said the hard-fought battle with VanDyke made the win even more enjoyable.

“Everything just clicked right off the trailer, and to get that win racing hard with VanDyke like we did made it that much sweeter,” added Barnes.

VanDyke held on for second, with Gatlin in third, Wayne Hale in fourth and Ryan Stiltner in fifth.

After an inversion of four positions, Hale was awarded the pole for the second LMSC race.

VanDyke charged into second-place working the second circuit and would pull to the bumper of Hale’s machine on the sixth lap. The two would make slight contact, allowing VanDyke to slide around into the lead. One lap later, the yellow flag would wave when the engine expired Chris Meade’s machine.

VanDyke would power back to the lead on the restart and never relinquish for his seventh win of the season over Stiltner and Barnes. Gatlin and Hale rounded out the top ten.

In other action, David Brown and Jared Broadbent made up the front row for the start of the Modified Street feature. Brown would take the lead to open the 30-lap race, but Broadbent would battle back to take the lead on lap two. The first yellow flag of the race was displayed on lap 15 for a spin in turn four.

Brown’s machine would be forced to the pit area with mechanical problems during the caution period, placing Broadbent and Rob Austin on the front row for the restart. Back under green, Broadbent would overtake Austin. Austin’s engine would expire in a cloud of smoke on lap 18, forcing the caution out.

Broadbent would roar back to the lead on the restart over Keith Stiltner and would lead all the remaining laps and capture the victory. Joey Sykes finished in third.

John Ketron won the pole position for the Pure 4 feature. Ketron pulled to the lead on the opening lap, and would lead wire-to-wire for the victory Billy Ketron finished in second, with Rusty Clendenin in third, Jason Ketron in fourth and Jackie Jackson in fifth.

Joshua Gobble and Rocky Yates battled for the lead to start the Mod 4 feature. Yates would use the outside lane to take over the top spot on lap four. Gobble would charge to the inside at the halfway point in the race, but Yates would again pull away.

With four laps remaining, Gobble would make a final run for the lead. On the final lap, Yates and Gobble raced side-by-side. Exiting turn four, Gobble would power off the corner and take the win by only 0.030 seconds. Billy Duty, Brian Hunt and Carey Brown rounded out the top five.

Michael Nelson worked his way into the lead over William Hale on the opening lap of the Rookie Pure 4 race. A spin on lap three would force the race’s only caution to be displayed. Nelson would again take the lead on the restart.

Hale would begin to make another charge on the inside line with five laps remaining. Exiting turn two, Nelson would slide, allowing Hale to pass. Hale went on to take the checkered flag for his second win of the season. Nelson finished in second, with Larry Stapelton third and Dalton Thomas in fourth.

Nasty Jones would take the lead over Marty Tunnell on the first lap of the Pure Street feature and went on to lead every lap to claim the win. Marty Tunnell finished in second, with Jared Bruner in third.
