McCaskill Picks Up Second Win

Deac McCaskill started on the pole and scored a flag-to-flag win in the 150-lap race for the Barkhouser Late Model Stock Car Division that highlighted Saturday night's Southside Virginia Community College 150 racing program here at South Boston Speedway.

The win was McCaskill's second victory of the season at South Boston Speedway and the pole win was his first pole win of the season.

McCaskill held off division points leader, Wayne Ramsey of Amherst, Va., in a 46-lap sprint to the finish that followed the last of the race's six caution periods. His margin of victory was 2.593 seconds.

Justin Johnson of Durham, NC finished third with Dustin Storm of Huntington, MD and Ronald Hill of Rougemont, NC rounding out the top five finishers.

Dude Gibbs of Seaford, VA, Jon Denning of Springfield, NJ, Brandon Butler of Sutherland, VA, Owen Miller of Emporia, VA and Jonathan Bailey of Keysville, VA completed the top ten finishers.

Ramsey kept the pressure on McCaskill in the early going with the help of four caution periods in the first 50 laps of the race. There was a time right after the race went back to green for the final time that Ramsey appeared to have a shot at McCaskill. McCaskill, however, was strong enough to fend off Ramsey's challenge and hold on for the win.

While Ramsey finished second, he was able to increase his points lead over Johnson by two points, extending his lead to an unofficial 15-point margin.

McCaskill averaged 65.336 mph in the race that took 55 minutes and 24 seconds to complete.

Brian Pembelton of Amelia, VA, Lee Pulliam of Semora, NC and Steve Collins of Clover, VA, driving an entry out of the Halifax County (VA) Motorsports Academy, rounded out the top five finishers.

Anderson averaged 44.501 mph in the race that was slowed by three caution periods.
