JAMAICA, Va. — Logan Roberson made his trip to Virginia Motor Speedway for some FASTRAK World Championship practice count, and in a big way.
Roberson rocketed past Austin Hubbard for the lead on lap 21 and then pulled away from the field to go on to grab the win in the Victory Lap Pro Late Model 30-lap feature.
“It’s always great to get a win here, we feel really good about our chances in the upcoming $50,000-to-win FASTRAK World Championship in September,” Roberson said in Virginia Is For Racing Lovers victory lane.
With his runner-up finish, Hubbard was crowned the Victory Lap Pro Late Model Champion — his second at Virginia Motor Speedway.
Hubbard jumped to the lead on the drop of the green flag and looked to have the race in control with Trevor Collins close in second. By lap 10, Roberson had moved himself into second and was closing on the leader.
It looked like Hubbard would have enough to hold off Roberson until lap 21 when Roberson rocketed past for the lead out of turn two. Once out front, Roberson pulled away from the field and went on to score the win by 4.995 seconds.
Rounding out the top five were Hubbard, Ray Love Jr., Trevor Collins and Nick Davis.
In the Budweiser Modified 25-lap feature, Joey Polevoy led flag-to-flag to score his second win of the season.
Polevoy jumped to the lead on the drop of the green flag with Lance Grady in tow. On lap three, point leader Chase Butler had a bit of a scare, spinning to bring out the first caution of the race. On lap 12, Bret Hamilton would take second from Grady and set out to catch the leader. Polevoy would hold off Hamilton for the win.
Rounding out the top five were Butler, Grady and Brent Bordeaux.
Rebounding from his lap four spin, Chase Butler was crowned the Budweiser Modified Champion for the second year in a row. Butler was the only driver in the modified division to finish in the top five each race.
Davis Lipscombe returned to the Truckin Thunder Sportsman division with one goal: pick up the win.
The division’s 2021 champion did just that getting by Matt Meads on lap 10. With seven laps to go, Tim Shelton had made his way back to the runner-up spot. With five laps to go, Shelton would try to get inside Lipscombe in turn one, only to have Lipscombe to use the high-side to his advantage to hold on to the top spot.
Lipscombe would go on to take the win and keep Shelton from matching his perfect record set in 2021. Rounding out the top five were Shelton, Matt Meads, Adam Breeden and James Givens.
Shelton would be crowned the Truckin Thunder Champion, finishing no worse than second this season.
It took Johnny Brooks eight laps to work his way to the lead in the Collision One Limited Stock Car 20-lap feature from his sixth place starting position. Once out front, Brooks would go on to score his third win of the season.
Brooks would get by Ryan Hutchens on lap eight with an inside move out of turn two. Brian Maxey would close in on the leader with laps winding down, but would be involved in a caution ending his night.
Brooks would go on to score the win over Ryan Hutchens, Cory Bradley, Jacob Buie and Brandon Bowler.
Brian Maxey would be crowned the Collision One Limited Stock Car Champion.
