JAMAICA, Va. – What looked to be a convincing win for Billy Hubbard Saturday at Virginia Motor Speedway quickly turned into a disappointment.
Hubbard drove to victory in the Victory Lap Pro Late Model division at Virginia Motor Speedway, but his car came up light at the scales. That gifted the victory to runner-up Corey Almond.
Hubbard got by Kenny Moreland for the lead on lap two of the 36 lap affair. Hubbard would dominate the night, stretching his lead out several times to a full straight lead over the battle for second between Almond and Justin Williams. What turned out to be the battle for the win saw Almond hold off several challenges from Williams over the last five laps.
“We hate to win like that but we will take it; I really like Billy (Hubbard) a lot and happy to see him win; if I was going to second to anybody, him or Justin (Williams), I would like him to win,” said Almond in WhosYourDriver.org victory lane.
Williams, Matt Glanden, Davis Lipscombe and Jared Powell rounded out the top-five.
In other action, Tim Shelton survived a wreck that sent him to the rear of the Truckin Thunder Sportsman field, only to come back through the field to take the win. In the Budwesier Modified feature, Hunter McClendon fended off a couple of slide jobs by Chris Arnold to take home the win. In the Collision One Limited Stock Car feature, James Givens took the lead on the opening lap with a daring three-wide pass to score his second win in a row.
