"Hail To The Chief" Jerald Harris


In the shadows of the Nations Capitol you would have thought the crowd was just introduced to the President of the United States because as Jerald Harris exited his car in victory lane the entire crowd were on thier feet either clapping or cheering. The Virginia Sprint Series has been until now an all dirt series but as it branched out to run some pavement races at Old Dominon Speedway this year bringing open wheel excitement to a stock car track just a few minutes from Washington DC what a show it was. Thirteen of the dirt racers made the switch to pavement with Scott Vasbinder winning heat one and Satch Worley taking heat two. The green waved over the feature field and Scott Vasbinder shot to the lead with Satch Worley on his tail and Jerald Harris up high in third, Vasbinder was rolling along out front keeping Worley and Harris at bay until lap five when Harris found his groove and powered to the front spot. Worley used the same groove to get into second and the two front runners were now really going after it as lap after lap they only got faster smashing the track record every time by the stripe. With two laps to go Worley got loose and that was all Harris needed to give him alittle space and fly to the checkered flag a few car lenths ahead of Worley to close out the frantic first feature for the Virginia racers on pavement. To recap the finish it was Jerald Harris, Satch Worley, Billy Norfleet, Scott Vasbinder, Mike Marr, Bill Rice, French Grimes, Carl Simmonds, Anthony Linkenhoker, Paul White, Dany Miller, Tony Harris and Ron Moyers.

The series takes a week off before heading to Winchester Speedway in Winchester, Va. for Racing Over Dose Weekend with a two show on Friday and Saturday night July 4th and 5th.

Billy Norfleet County Line High Flyer


Billy Norfleet took most of the race to get going but with a few laps to go found his groove flying to his first win of the year. To kick off the night Satch Worley took the win in the eight lap County Line Qualifier event before it was off to the feature. Scott Vasbinder was on poll and used his good start by showing the field his tail until lap eight when a caution came out to pick debris on track bunching up the pack. Pete Kingrea was on Vasbinder from the start but two laps after the restart Kingrea went low and took off. Kingrea was clicking off laps up front but Norfleet was on the way and with five to go Norfleet showed Kingrea the groove that was working and swept by for the lead and went on to fly under the checkered flag. At the line it was Billy Norfleet, Satch Worley, Pete Kingrea, Bill Rice, Ivan Shaver, Anthony Linkenhoker, Scott Vasbinder, French Grimes, Ron Moyers, Danny Miller and Paul White.


Next Week the series come back to its own backyard as it visits Eastside Speedway in Waynesboro, Va. on Saturday night June 14th

French Grimes Proves Second Time is a Charm


French Grimes finished second by eight inches at the last Virginia Sprint Series race but this week it wasn't even close as after starting last in the field he took the lead from Satch Worley at half way and cruised to victory. Fifteen cars took to the track for the feature only event on a bit of a tricky track with Danny Miller and Paul White pacing to the flag and Miller was out first and was leading his first feature for a few laps but then Worley got under him and tried to run away. Worley was a couple cars lenths ahead of the field but by now it was plain to see Grimes was on a roll and it would not be long before he was going to catch Worley. The halfway flags were shown the field but it would be to a new leader as Grimes was really hooked up and sped away from the field to take his first of the year. To recap the field: French Grimes, Satch Worley, Billy Norfleet, Jerald Harris, Bill Rice, Pete Kingrea, Scott Vasbinder, Mike Marr, Anthony Linkenhoker, Donnie Rodeffer, Chris Ware, Danny Miller, Paul White, Tony Harris and Ron Moyer.

Next week the Virginia Sprint Series turns into pavement pounders as it takes to the asphalt oval in Manassas, Va. at Old Dominion Speedway on Saturday night May 31st.

Close Call for Keck at County Line
 

Eric Keck thought he was in the front to stay for a cruise to the win at the three quarter mark of the feature at the newly resurfaced and really fast Count Line Raceway Saturday only to see French Grimes come up from last place starting spot and challenge for the win to just fall short by a eight inches as the checkered flag waved. Fourteen cars made the trip down south and heats were up first with last weeks feature winner Bill Rice taking heat one and Mike Marr taking heat two. Danny Miller and Paul White pacing the field to the start but White only led until the back straight when Satch Worley and Mike Marr got by and were leading a ten car freight train around the track at a record pace. Worley was still in front running a mid-track line with Marr alittle lower but right on him as you could see field of cars running three different lines around the speedway. Keck and Grimes were moving up fast as the twenty five laps clicked by quick at the smooth short track with Keck sweeping under Marr then a lap later Worley and he was out front and going away but he didn't count on Grimes who was showing great speed. Grimes was into second spot three laps later but with only five to go Keck must have thought he was home free but Grimes was closing fast and the crowd came to it's feet with two to go as they cheered on the racers to what would be a photo finish with Grimes shooting low getting inside Keck in the run to the checkers but Keck held on by inches to take the win. To recap the finish it was Eric Keck, French Grimes, Jerald Harris, Satch Worley, Billy Norfleet, Mike Marr, Pete Kingrea, Anthony Linkenhoker, Ivan Shaver, Bill Rice, Danny Miller, Paul White, Ron Moyers and Carl Simmonds.

The Virginia Sprint Series will take off a week before heading to Winchester Speedway in Winchester Virginia on Saturday night May 24th.

Bullet Bill Rice Unloads on the Field


Third time was a charm for the Virginia Sprint Series as after two rain outs the racers were able to take to the track and what a race it was as Bullet Bill Rice drove his WA Lynch Roofing Specialty Fasteners Sprinter to the event sweep. Fifteen racers made the tow to Eastside with heats up first and Rice blasted to the win in heat one with Satch Worley holding off Anthony Linkenhoker at the line for heat two before it was off to the feature. Paul White and Scott Vasbinder paced the feature with Vasbinder out first and Worley second with Tony Harris, Bill Rice and Jerald Harris in a group. Lap three saw changes as Vasbinder slowed with car trouble just as Tony Harris passed Worley to take what was now the lead. Rice realy came on strong in the second half as he shot by Worley then set his sights on Harris and with eight laps to go Rice went low by Harris and headed for the checkers and would not be caught in the caution free event.

At the flag it was Bill Rice, Tony Harris, Satch Worley, Jerald Harris, Anthony Linkenhoker, French Grimes, Billy Norfleet, Pete Kingrea, Danny Miller, Ron Moyers, Paul White, Carl Simmonds, Chris Ware, Scott Vasbinder and Mike Marr.
