JAMAICA, Va. — In what can only be described as a legendary finish, Tyler Bare made a three-wide pass with one lap to go to take the lead and the $50,000 victory Saturday at Virginia Motor Speedway.
Bare got inside then leader Zack Dohm and a lapped car on lap 58 to take the lead heading to the white flag. The pass netted him his career-best finish, taking home the $50,000 FASTRAK World Championship.
Dohm got by Bare on lap 44 to take second and then take the lead from leader Henry Hornsby III on lap 47. Bare would follow Dohm into second. Bare would turn up the wick and chase down Dohm to battle for the lead. They battled in lapped traffic three-wide on lap 53, with Dohm holding the top spot and then again on lap 58, Bare taking the top spot away for the win.
“The money, this $50,000, will help our racing a whole bunch, but that right there (pointing to the B8 on his car) means more than the money to me. To honor my granddaddy like that really means a lot,” Bare said.
Rounding out the top five were Dohm, Logan Roberson, Henry Hornsby III and Austin Hubbard.
