3.31.18 Winchester Speedway Results

Winchester, VA- Austin Stover put on a passing clinic as he came from 19th on the field to score his first career Winchester Speedway Limited Late Model feature win in the tracks season opener last Saturday night. The win for Stover, aboard his Rocket no.11, was his first win at the track since scoring a Four-Cylinder victory back in 2015.
Scott Merryman and Rodney Walls made up the front row for the start as the field went green. Merryman appeared poised for his first Winchester win as he lead well beyond the halfway point in the event. Meanwhile, Austin Stover had clawed his way to 3rd by the 17th lap and was coming in a hurry. Stover would then slide by Merryman on the 18th lap and control the final 2-circuits to post the break through win. “This is crazy, I can’t believe I’m standing here right now.” Were the words from a jubilant Austin Stover as he stood in the Winchester victory lane. “We had a power steering line come off in the heat race and I thought our night was done.” Stover quipped. “We were just hoping to come out of this with a top-ten and to get a win, is absolutely amazing.” Wesley Bonebrake rallied late for second with Rodney Walls, Jonathan DeHaven and Scott Merryman rounding out the top-five. Heats for the 20 cars entered went to Matt Marshall and Merryman.
After scoring a win at Potomac Speedway on Friday, former Winchester champion Logan Roberson, scored his second win of the weekend in the companion 20-lap RUSH Crate Late Model feature. Roberson darted from his second starting spot and would lead the distance to score the win. “We drew a bad number for our heat race but we were able to come through and get a win.” Roberson stated post race. “We got a good number for the feature and we were able to make the most of it here tonight.” Chuck Bowie was second with Joe Warren, Richard Hawkins and Darin Henderson completing the top-five. Heats for the 27 car field went to Jimmy Duncan, Warren and Roberson.
