MAY 27: SALUTE TO ARMED FORCES Jason
Hogan scores victory in NASCAR AutoZone Elite Division Southeast Series
race at South Boston SOUTH
BOSTON, VA. — Jason Hogan of Cleveland, Ga. grabbed the lead on lap 30
of the 150-lap race for the touring NASCAR AutoZone Elite Division
Southeast Series and held on the rest of the way to score his first
victory of the season Saturday night at South Boston Speedway. The
race was the featured attraction of the Salute to Armed Forces Night at
America's Hometown Track. Hogan's
victory, coupled with a second-place run by J.R. Norris of Mulga, Ala.,
locked the two drivers in a tie atop the point standings for the series
through two of four races in the final season of competition for the
series. Norris won the first race for the series this year and Hogan was
the runner-up in the season opener. Hogan
began the race in the sixth starting position after the top eight
qualifiers were inverted prior to the race. Norris rolled off in the
17-car field from the fourth starting position. Gary
Helton of Sevierville, Tenn. secured a third-place run in the race, while
Ricky Turner of Dawsonville, Ga. placed fourth after starting on the
outside of the front row, courtesy of the inversion. Dusty
Williams of Garden City, Ga., the winner of last year's event at South
Boston Speedway, rounded out the top five drivers in the race. Jeff Fultz
of Mooresville, N.C. was sixth at the finish line, while Josh Hammer of
Chelsea, Ala. finished seventh and was the final driver on the lead lap.
Hammer began the event from the pole position after the inversion was put
in place. Eddie
Stivers, III of Columbia, S.C. finished in the eighth position on the
track and was followed in the top 10 by Ted Mickelson of Greenville, S.C.
in ninth and Walter Sutcliffe of New Haven, Conn. in 10th.
Stivers was one lap down at the end, while Mickelson and Sutcliffe were
each two laps down at the end. Ryan
Lawler of Colleyville, Tex. set the fast qualifying time with a sizzling
lap of 15.443 seconds. Turner
surged to the lead at the outset of the race and held the top spot until
Norris moved into first place on the ninth circuit. Norris remained atop
the scoreboard until Hogan swiped the first-place position for good on lap
30. Drew
Herring scores second straight victory in Late Model Stock Car Division
action at South Boston Drew
Herring of Benson, N.C. is quickly forgetting about his early-season woes
at South Boston Speedway. After
starting the season with bad luck and subpar finishes, Herring is
beginning to get things turned around in Barkhouser Late Model Stock Car
Division action. Saturday
night, Herring scored his second consecutive pole position triumph and
followed that up with his second straight NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series
victory on the four-tenths mile asphalt oval. Jon
Denning of Springfield, N.J. began the race second and claimed a runner-up
finish. Denning made a late charge to try and pass Herring following the
race's final caution period, which set up a five-lap dash to the checkered
flag at the close of the race. Wayne
Ramsey of Amherst, Va. slipped past Speedy Faucette of Mebane, N.C.
coming out of turn four on the final lap of the race to secure a
third-place run in the unofficial rundown. Faucette held on after the
contact with Ramsey to place fourth, while Philip Morris of Ruckersville,
Va., a two-time winner at South Boston Speedway this season, rounded out
the top five drivers. Rodney
Cook of Reidsville, N.C. overcame a black-flag penalty for rough driving
to secure a sixth-place run, while Owen Miller of Emporia, Va. finished
seventh and became the division's new point leader. Jonathan Cash of
Oxford, N.C. entered the event as the division point leader, however, a
flat tire forced him to pit for repairs and left him with an unofficial
finish outside the top 15. Eddie
Johnson of Midlothian, Va. posted an eighth-place run in the 21-car field
and was followed in the top 10 by Adam Barker of Hurt, Va. in ninth place
and Jonathan Bailey of Keysville, Va. in the 10th position. Joey
Conner becomes sixth different Pure Stock Division winner in 2006 **Connor was Disqualified after post race inspection giving Nick Igdalsky the win** updated 5-30-06 Joey
Conner of Halifax, Va. grabbed the lead before the halfway point of the
50-lap race for the Budweiser Pure Stock Division and held on the rest of
the way to secure a victory. The
win by Conner, who started third in the 14-car field, made him the sixth
different winner in six Pure Stock events run at South Boston in 2006. One-time
winner Nick Igdalsky of South Boston, Va. roared from the rear of the
field at the start of the race to capture a runner-up finish. Igdalsky set
the fast qualifying time and could have started the race in the seventh
position following an inversion, but opted instead to try his luck from
the back of the pack. Quain
Moore of Callands, Va. finished third in the event, while Scott Phillips
of Roxboro, N.C., who also has one win this season, finished in the fourth
slot. Division points leader Chuck Watkins of Stem, N.C., who owns one
victory this year, rounded out the top five competitors. Godley
wins caution-plagued Allison Legacy Series race Matthew
Godley, a three-time winner this season, posted a victory in the
caution-filled 50-lap race for the touring Allison Legacy Series event. Godley
started from the pole in the race, which was slowed by 10 yellow flags and
lasted one hour and five minutes, and led all the way, but not before
fending off several challenges from runner-up Jonathan Kornegay, who leads
the points chase in the series. Casey
Holt placed third in the 29-car field and was followed in the top five by
Michael Cooper in the fourth position and Jason Lamole in the fifth slot. For
