RURAL RETREAT, Va. – Although he was wide awake, Tyler Bare of Rockridge Baths, Virginia said his race car was a dream on Saturday night, he won the 50-lap second jewel of the 12th Annual FASTRAK Pro Late Model Series Triple Crown at Wythe Raceway in Rural Retreat, Virginia.
Bare took the lead at the halfway point of the 50-lap race when early leader Kenny Peeples slowed on a restart. Once in the lead, Bare checked out on the field to take a 4.727 second margin of victory over a driver that Bare admitted intimidated him on a restart.
“My car was just a dream to drive all night long,” Bare said. “I was a little intimated on that lap 30 double-file restart when I looked over and saw Jonathan Davenport next to me. But this race car was such a dream, I can’t say it enough as to how it performed tonight. I didn’t see Davenport after we went green.”
Davenport, Blairsville, Georgia, started ninth and finished second after an exciting side-by-side battle with Ron Parker, who had to settle for third.
Matthew Nance finished fourth, with Teddy Tate in fifth.
Brent Hilton, Lance Reynolds, Terry Cregger, Benji Hicks and Cla Knight rounded out the top ten.
The next race for the FASTRAK Pro Late Model Series South East Region will be on Friday night, August 4 311 Motor Speedway in Pine Hall, North Carolina.
