JAMAICA, Va. — Billy Hubbard held off Davis Lipscombe in the Victory Lap Pro Late Model 30-lap feature at Virginia Motor Speedway to become the sixth different winner of the season.
Lipscombe got to the outside of Hubbard three times between laps 15-17 before Hubbard moved up into Lipscombe’s line and found it to his liking as well. Hubbard would stretch out his lead and go on to take the win.
“We have been trying so hard to get to victory lane; once Lipscombe got to my outside, I moved up and found his line worked for my car as well,” Hubbard said.Â
Derek Magee and Hubbard led the field to green, with Hubbard taking the lead out of turn two. Behind him, the battle for second went three-wide between Magee, Lipscombe and point leader Jeremy Pilkerton.
Magee would emerge with the spot, with Lipscombe working the high line, looking for a way around him. On lap four, it looked like Libscombe would take the spot, but Magee would defend the spot until Lipscombe rocketed by him in turns one and two on lap nine to take second.
Lipscombe would then set out to reel in Hubbard, who had almost a full straightaway lead. By lap 17, Lipscombe had closed that distance and was looking to get by for the lead.
Using the high line, Lipscombe would get side-by-side with Hubbard for two laps before falling back into second place. Hubbard went on to take the win, with Lipscombe, Magee, Pilkerton and Corey Almond rounding out the top five.
The Budweiser Modified feature went to Chase Butler, while the Truckin Thunder Sportsman event was won by Steve Causey. Joe Hudson’s Collision Center Limited Stock Car feature was won by Johnny Brooks.Â
