By Doug Watson
Winchester, VA- Kenny Moreland scored a convincing green to checker feature win in last Saturday’s 30-lap Late Model event at Winchester Speedway. The win for Moreland, worth $2000, came steering his familiar Rocket XR-1 no.24 and made him the third different driver to win in the class this season.
Moreland and current Late Model point leader Trever Feathers made up the front row for the start with Moreland gaining the race lead as the field came off turn two. As Moreland set the pace, Trever Feathers followed in his tire tracks for the first 18-laps, before Jason Miller arrived in second on the 19th tour. Miller chased Moreland for the duration, but was no match as Moreland sped off to a relatively easy pole t pole win. “It’s been a long season and it feels pretty good to finally get a win.” Moreland said in victory lane. “We haven’t raced much this season and the races we’ve been in we haven’t been as consistent as we need to be, so hopefully this will get us back on track.” Feathers held tough for third with Brad Omps and Greg Roberson completing the top-five. heats went to Feathers and Omps.
Logan Roberson collected his 3rd win of the season in the 20-lap RUSH Crate Late Model main. Roberson, who lined up second for the start, burst into the race lead on the first lap and held off the repeated challenges from current class point leader Mike Franklin to score the win aboard his Rocket XR-1 no.17R. “With the track the way it was here tonight, I knew I had to get to the front first.” Roberson stated post race. “I knew Mike was back there and it was a lot of fun racing as hard as we did.” Jakob Piper, Tanner Kerr and Transtan Stoner trailed at the finish. Heats went to Roberson, Kerr and Franklin.
Defending Mid-Atlantic Modified series champion Brad Kling scored his first career Winchester feature win in the divisions 20-lap contest. Kling darted from the pole to score the break through win over eventual runner-up and current Winchester point leader Rak Kable Jr. “We’ve run second here a bunch of times, and it feels great to finally get one.” Kling stated afterward. “There are a lot of good cars here tonight and I can’t thank enough all the people who finally got us here.” Mike Altobelli jr., James Sparks and Mike Corbin rounded out the top-five. Heats went to Kable, Kling and Corbin.
In support class action, Justin Hottle nailed down his 2nd win of the season in the 15-lap Four-Cylinder feature and Gene Wilson drove to a thrilling win, his first of the season, in the nightcap 15-lap U-Car main.
