Saturday was a night of double celebration for Peyton Sellers at Virginia’s South Boston Speedway.

The Ringgold, Virginia resident checked off one of his goals for the 2021 season, capturing the South Boston Speedway NASCAR Advance Auto Parts Weekly Series Late Model Stock Car Division title and capped the South Boston Speedway points season with a victory in the 100-lap NASCAR Late Model Stock Car Division race that headlined Saturday night’s Danville Toyota Championship Night.

The win, Sellers’ fourth straight and his ninth in 17 starts at South Boston, gives him an opportunity to extend his lead in the NASCAR Advance Auto Parts Weekly Series national point standings and inch closer to capturing his second career national championship.

“To cap off a championship night with a win is unbelievable,” Sellers said after winning the race and scoring his 21st victory of the NASCAR national points season. “It’s a good thing, that’s for sure.”

It marks the fourth season in a row that Sellers has won the track championship at South Boston Speedway.

“To win four straight championships here at South Boston Speedway is something I am very proud of,” Sellers remarked. “Knowing how many names that have won championships here at South Boston Speedway and how many legends have won championships here, to be in that same list now is pretty special to me.”

Sellers has won six career South Boston Speedway NASCAR track championships, leaving him one title shy of tying seven-time track champion David Blankenship for the most career NASCAR track championships at the speedway.

There was no easy path to victory for Sellers in Saturday night’s 100-lap feature. He led twice for a total of 65 laps, taking the lead from Jacob Borst on the 76th lap after muscling his way out of a tense four-car battle that followed the race’s final restart with 28 laps to go.

Borst hung on to finish second, 1.695 seconds behind Sellers, with Chris Denny in third. National rookie points leader Landon Pembelton finished in fourth, with John Goin in fifth.

There were three lead changes between Sellers and Borst in the race that was slowed by four caution periods and one red flag.

Daniel Moss Wins Limited Sportsman Division Championship

In one of the closest championship points battles South Boston Speedway has had in its NASCAR Limited Sportsman Division, Daniel Moss won his first career NASCAR track championship, edging Jason Myers by a slim two-point margin for the title.

Entering Saturday’s 50-lap race, Moss held a narrow 13-point edge over Drew Dawson and a 22-point margin over Myers, who had rallied up to third place in the points chase on the strength of three straight wins.

Moss got off to a good start in Saturday night’s race only to have his car start fading just past the midway point of the race. He hung on to finish seventh, but both Myers and Dawson finish ahead of him.

Eric Winslow took the lead from Ryan Joyner on the 14th lap and led the final 36 circuits to win the race and earn his third victory of the season at South Boston Speedway this season.

Winslow edged J.D. Eversole by .403-second in taking the win with Myers, who started at the rear of the 15-car field, finishing third. Dawson finished fourth, with Daniel Crews in fifth.

There were two lead changes in the race between Winslow and Joyner.

Nathan Crews Wins Budweiser Pure Stock Division Title

Nathan Crews had double reason to celebrate following Saturday night’s 30-lap Budweiser Pure Stock Division race.

Crews took the lead from teammate Daniel Shelton with three laps to go as the engine in Shelton’s car soured and won the 30-lap race and the division championship.

It marks the second straight division title for Crews and the third straight for his family-owned race team. Shelton won the title in 2018 driving Crews’ car.

Saturday night’s win was his 11th victory in 13 starts this season at South Boston. It was his fourth win in his last five starts. He edged runner-up Bruce Mayo by 5.867 seconds, with Shelton limping his ailing car home for a third-place finish. B.J. Reaves finished fourth, with Jimmy Wade fifth.

Josh Dawson Captures Budweiser Hornets Division Championship

Josh Dawson was among the trio of drivers to enjoy double celebrations Saturday night as he won the 15-lap Budweiser Hornets Division race and also captured the 2021 division title.

It was Josh Dawson’s first career NASCAR championship, as he topped his cousin, Jared Dawson for the title.

Josh Dawson started at the rear of the 11-car field and grabbed the lead from Andrea Ruotolo with two laps to go to take the victory. The win was his eighth in 10 starts this season.

Ruotolo finished second in what was his best outing of the season. Former division champion Kevin Currin, Kendall Milam and Jared Dawson rounded out the top five.
