COEBURN, VA – Kres VanDyke claimed another Wallace Kia LMSC division win Saturday at Lonesome Pine Raceway in Coeburn, VA. VanDyke used a late-race restart to power to the lead and claim his second victory of the season at LPR.

Ryan Stiltner started on point for the 100 lap LMSC feature. Stiltner and Thomas Beane battled door-to-door until the second circuit, when Stiltner was able to clear the No. 31 for the lead.

A three car spin in turn three would bring out the first caution on lap six. Stiltner would charge back to the lead on the restart.

Chad Finchum was on the move, and had made his way into second-place by lap 18. Finchum would hold in second-place while Stiltner continued to lead.

The second caution of the night waved on lap 48 for a spin on the back straightaway.

Stiltner would elect to take the outside, placing Fincum on the inside for the restart. Finchum powered on the inside line to take over the lead.

Only one lap could be completed before the caution waved for a spin on the backstretch.

Finchum would again move to the lead on the restart. Caution flew again when Jonathan Flemming and Adam Gray tangled in turn three on lap 77. Finchum – the leader – was forced to stop to avoid the accident and was placed at the rear of the lead lap cars per race procedures.

Back under green, Stiltner and VanDyke raced into turns one and two and made contact, allowing Brian Blevins to drive around both. Blevins would enjoy the lead for only a short time before the caution waved again for a two car pileup on the front straightaway.

VanDyke charged back to the lead to restart the race and never looked back to score the win. Finchum finished in second, with Stiltner in third, Beane in fourth and Blevins in fifth.

In other action, Kirby Gobble took the lead to start the 30 lap Street Stock feature.

The caution waved on lap 13 for a two car spin in turns one and two and would set the field for a restart. Gobble would again power to the lead and dominate the remaining laps to claim his fourth Street Stock win.

David Brown was on the pole following an invert of two positions in the Mod-4 division. Brown powered to an early lead on lap one. 11 laps would be completed before the first yellow flag would wave for a spin in turn one.

Brown would again move to the lead, but Chucky Williams would take the lead on the following lap.

A three car pileup on the backstretch triggered another caution and an eventual red flag on the speedway on lap 20.

On the restart, Williams would use the inside line to move to the lead and went on to score the victory

Keith Helton broke to the lead on the opening lap of the Pure-4 race.

John Ketron would dive to the inside of Helton on lap five. The two would continue to race hard until Ketron completed the pass on lap nine. Ketron never relinquished his lead and drove to his third victory of the season.

Nasty Jones took the lead from Brad Ball on lap two of the Pure Street and Iron Warriors combined race. Jones led all the remaining laps to claim his first win since 2003. Aaron Ratliff won the Iron Warriors portion of the race.

Brandon Crumbley took the lead on the opening lap of the Rookie Pure-4 race. The caution was displayed on lap three for a three car wreck involving Crumbley, James Deese and Mook Jeter. Derrick Gilliam inherited the lead for the restart and drove on to take the checkered flag.
