Results: June 14, 2003
Results are unofficial until verified by NASCAR HOBGOODS SWEEP DASH AT SOUTH BOSTON, JUNE 14 (South
Boston,VA) The NASCAR Touring
Series train chugged into Big Daddy’s South Boston Speedway with the
South Boston 150 for the Goody’s Dash Series.
The former “Baby Grands” marked the second touring series to
visit South Boston in the past two events. Brandon Ward
#11 surrendered to Justin Hobgood #65 on the first lap, but two cars
spinning in three brought out the yellow. With the restart on lap
four, Hobgood pulled to a slight lead, as Wade Day #52 used his local
track experience to challenge for second on lap 10. Day completed
the pass and worked to catch Hobgood. As the tail end of the field
came into sight for Hobgood, Day was on his bumper by lap 15. With
20 laps in, Day was in a Hobgood Oreo as Jake Hobgood #64 sandwiched Day
from third. Zach Brewer #31 and Joey Miller #19 tangled in turn
three on lap 24. As the side-by-side restart bunched around the
front, Wade Day made a gutsy attempt on the apron to pass Hobgood.
Series Point Leader, Robert Huffman #37, turned on the juice to move up to
fourth by lap 35. Pit stops cycled under caution on lap 40, Huffman
#37, elected not to pit and assumed the lead with Kelly "Girl"
Sutton also remaining to claim second. Attempting to climb
back through traffic, Wade Day #52, trailing the Hobgood brothers, tagged
Brewer #31 bringing out another caution. Day restarted
in eighth, while the the Hobgood's held fourth and fifth. With 65
laps in, Sutton began to feel the pressure for second place. Danny
Bagwell #10, made the move as Justin Hobgood #65 and Jake Hobgood #64 also
made the move around Sutton. With smoke bellowing from rubbing
tires, Hobgood and Bagwell saw the caution wave for debris. Day
pitted too early under the caution and was accessed a one lap penalty,
ending his chances for a top finish. Day was running in the Top 5
before the caution. Huffman led the restart, but Jake Hobgood #64
went to work immediately for the lead on lap 79. Bagwell and Justin
Hobgood went right back to rubbing fenders battling for third.
Huffman surrendered the lead to Jake Hobgood by only inches at the line on
lap 83. The door-to-door battle was slowed after five laps, when #33
Matt Boarman looped his ride in front of the leaders. Jake Hobgood
led Huffman, but Justin Hobgood wanted second. Another
side-by-side tussle for position on lap 95. It was a Hobgood night
at the front after lap 100, as Jake led Justin over Huffman and Bagwell.
T.J. Majors, driving for Dale Earnhardt Jr., worked his way up to seventh
by lap 115. As another caution waved, Jay Godley #18 used his local Late
Model experience to power into sixth. However, with a tight pack on
the restart, lap 120, Godley made contact with the turn four wall bringing
a halt to the action. With only 15 to go, debris on the race track
calmed the battle between brothers and bunched up the front for a twelve
lap shootout. Ward drove to the inside of Huffman for third, while
Majors tried to track down Bagwell for fourth. Hobgood (Jake) pulled
Hobgood (Justin) to the finish, as Ward, Huffman, Bagwell, and Majors took
the top six spots. Jimmy Mullins
#75 started the excitement for the Coor's Light Late Models, as he beat
Phillip Morris #01 to the stripe to keep his lead. Morris battled
right back by lap three, as the top 10 were lined nose-to-tail for the
first 10 laps. Mullins and Morris broke away with Woody Howard #30
left on an island by himself for third. Morris became unsatisfied
with second on lap 25, making a hard charge for the lead on Mullins'
bumper. Mullins held his line and his position, but Morris stayed
with him through lap 35. On lap 45, Morris inched out Mullins on the
backstretch, while Howard made his way for second on Mullins by lap 49.
As Morris battled in lap traffic, Howard was able to close the gap
to three car lengths. With 35 laps remaining, only five cars
remained unlapped by Morris. Dean Ward #2 worked behind Scott Worley
for sixth place. Worley, with smoke trailing his machine due to
contact with the leader, blew a tire and wrecked ino the turn four wall
for the first caution on lap 125. With caution stacking up the
field, Howard lined up behind Morris with several lap cars separating the
final four machines on the lead lap. Lap 132 saw Morris jump away
from Howard with Mullins mired in traffic for third. With 149 on the
board, Wayne Ramsey #51 slammed the turn two wall, bringing the red flag
and a sprint to the finish with the lead lap cars. Mullins chunked
Howard on the start going into turn one, but Howard held on to hold off
Mullins, as Phillip Morris took the win. Racing cranks
up again on June 21st with the Sprint 300. Twin 110s for the Coor’s Light Late Models, 50 laps for the
Sheetz Limited Sportsman, and 30 laps for the Pure Stocks.
