NESBITT GETS OILED UP IN HOOTER’S PRO CUP LUCAS OIL 250 AT SOBO 

(South Boston,VA)  Gears were lubed and ready to turn for Hooter’s Pro Cup Lucas Oil 250 presented by Pepsi at Big Daddy’s South Boston Speedway.  Kertus Davis (#68 Siler City, NC) claimed his first Advance Auto Parts pole in 60 starts with a speed of 89.56mph (16.078sec).  Northern Division point leader, Jeff Agnew (#73 Floyd, VA) challenged for the lead on the start, but Davis cleared the way past Eric Corbett (#75 Hagerstown, MD) to maintain his front running position.  Agnew put the pressure on Davis’ bumper for the lead, just as Derrick Kelley (#21 Auburndale, FL) looped his machine in turn three.  Agnew had to settle for second as the caution waved.  With 23 cars on the lead lap, Agnew went to work on Davis on the restart.  Several cars made contact on lap 50 blocking the frontstretch, just in front of the leaders.  As Davis and Agnew cleared lap traffic, their battle began again.  Agnew inched Davis at the line to lead lap 62, while Jason Mignogna (#17 Greensburg, PA) spun in turn two.  With 100 laps in, Agnew maintained the lead, as Jay Fogleman (#4 Durham, NC) pursued in second.  Polesitter, Davis, faded back to fourth behind Corbett.  Caution waved at the halfway mark, sending everyone, but the leader scrambling to pit road.  Agnew opted not to pit, while Fogleman cruised through the pits without stopping just as the green flag waved.  When the field went back to green, several cars challenged Agnew for the front spot, but Michael Ritch (#28 High Point, NC) emerged as the leader; however, his lead was only good for 15 laps as Mark Nesbitt (#88s Fletcher, NC) overtook Ritch on lap 155.  With lap traffic becoming a factor, Nesbitt continued to lead Ritch until lap 192, when Mignogna spun after contact with Fogleman on the backstretch.  Fogleman served a stop and go under caution, while Agnew made his pit stop.  12 cars remained on the lead lap when the green waved at lap 199.  With Agnew on new tires, he climbed from 12^th to 7^th in only 5 laps and continued to move forward.  As the leaders threaded lap cars, Agnew continued to gain ground.  On lap 221, Allen Purkhiser (#7 Moore, SC) blew an engine with polesitter Davis spinning on the backstretch after contact with hometown favorite Stacy Puryear (#11 South Boston, VA).  With the seventh caution of the race, Agnew was listed in fourth on the restart, behind leader Nesbitt, Ritch, and Brian Ross (#42 Plymouth, IN).  Agnew went for third, while Puryear went three-wide for eighth on lap 227.  Agnew rolled into second on lap 230 and set his sights on the leader, Nesbitt.  Caution waved again for a “quickie yellow” on lap 232, when Charles Ray Peele (#71 Jacksonville, FL) made contact with the inside wall in turn four.  With 15 to go, Agnew pursued Nesbitt, but debris in turn 3 brought another fast flag.  As the lap cars moved to the rear, the leaders lined up without obstruction for a showdown to the finish on lap 241.  Agnew slipped to the outside, as Ritch made a move for second. Contact back in the filed caused sparks to fly, as battles for position waged all around the asphalt.  Agnew appeared to cut a tire and slowed on lap 148.  While Agnew faded, Nesbitt roared to victory over Michael Ritch and Joel Kauffman #44 Largrange, IN).  Local favorite Stacy Puryear finished seventh.

Woody Howard (#30 Chesapeake, VA) started where he left off last week, but Nick Woodward (#21 High Point, NC) took the early lead for the NASCAR Coor’s Light Late Models in the first 75 lap feature.  Scott Worley (#88 Long Island, VA…not NY) went back to the outside early to pick up three positions by lap 20.  Howard motored within inches of Woodward by lap 35, but was not able to complete the pass.  When lap traffic became an issue, Woodward maintained his advantage, while Philip Morris (#01 Ruckersville, VA) started a move toward the leaders.  As Woodward cleared lap traffic, Howard closed to Woodward’s bumper.  As the white flag waved, Howard nudged and rubbed under Woodward, but was unable to keep Quik Nick from claiming his second victory of the season.  Morris finished third, followed by Timothy Peters (#77 Providence, NC), Worley, and Dean Ward (#2 Winston-Salem, NC).

Howard started out front over Woodward for race two, while Timothy Peters held close in third for the first 25 laps.   Lap traffic slowed the leader on lap 36; however, no one could take the position.  With 50 laps in, Howard led Woodward and Peters with Morris trailing behind.  Brandon Hendrick (Flying #11) looped his ride on lap 60 to bring out the first caution.  Howard jumped out in front of Peters on the restart, as Woodward and Morris were unable to close the gap.  Worley looped his ride on lap 65, bringing out caution number two.  Peters went to the outside, but Howard held him off.  Howard cruised to victory over Peters, Woodward, and Morris.

Joey Dennewitz #26 claimed the pole for the Allison Legacy Series event with Justin South #45 on the outside for the start.  At the drop of the green flag, Chase Mattioli #1 tapped Mike Jobe #25 into a spin that brought a full field restart.  Dennewitz grabbed the lead and held it until Howard #7 made a late lap charge to challenge.  After swapping the lead several times, Howard moved to the point, as Derek Lee #29 closed in third.  Howard led the remaining 10 laps and posted his first victory at South Boston.
