SOUTH BOSTON, Va. (October 15, 2017) – Deac McCaskill and Stephen Nasse each claimed wins Saturday night in the AutosbyNelson.com CARS Tour 250 at South Boston Speedway.
McCaskill captured the 125-lap CARS Tour Late Model Stock race while Nasse won the 125-lap CARS Tour Super Late Model race.
South Boston Speedway regulars had a strong presence in the Late Model Stock field, claiming three of the top five finishing spots. Stacy Puryear, Timothy Peters and Bobby McCarty, who all call South Boston Speedway home, finished second, third and fourth respectively. CARS Tour regular Craig Moore was fifth.
South Boston Speedway’s all-time win leader Philip Morris captured the pole and led early before a blown engine eliminated him from competition before the halfway point.
Josh Berry finished 10th, but that was good enough to claim the CARS Tour Late Model championship.
Nasse claimed the win in the Super Late Model race while Cole Rouse captured the tour championship, despite bowing out of the race late in a spectacular wreck that saw his car get up on its side and slide down the first-turn wall.
Matt Craig chased Nasse to the checkered flag to finish second. Zane Smith was third, Mike Speeney fourth and Raphael Lessard fifth.
It was the 2017 season finale for South Boston Speedway. The 2018 season is scheduled to kick off on March 24 with twin 100-lap Late Model races, a 50-lap Limited Sportsman race, a 30-lap Pure Stock race and a 15-lap Hornets race.
