Richards Records No. 8 this Season in a Wild One
Overton Records First Podium Finish of Season
SARVER, Pa. – June 24, 2016 – Josh Richards was the first one to the checkers Friday, winning the World of Outlaws Craftsman® Late Model Series second preliminary feature night of the Firecracker 100 weekend presented by GottaRace.com at Lernerville Speedway. Though he was the last man standing on the second night, it did not come without a trio of drivers nipping at his rear tires.
Two cautions within the first three laps did not slow down the 28-car field – mainly Billy Moyer Jr. and Brandon Overton, who traded paint for the second spot. Though Moyer prevailed, Overton grew persistent; he passed Moyer shortly after on the second restart.
One lap later, Richards’ No. 1 Valvoline/ Seubert Calf Ranches Rocket car made a push from 10th place – .200 seconds from a seat on the podium. By lap 10, a three-way battle to be top dog had Richards, Overton and local stud Russ King showing their teeth. Grouped together on lap 13 – away from the rest of the field – Richards attempted an under-over pass on Overton’s No. 76 Budweiser/ C-H Paving Moyer/ Victory machine in turn two. Overton slammed the door on the backstretch, but Richards claimed the spot in turn four.
“Coming down, we have a good car,” Overton said. “We just need to build on it, and maybe we’ll get it tomorrow.” (more…)

MOORESVILLE, NC (June 21, 2016): The only new track that competitors will visit this season will be Greenville-Pickens Speedway as the CARS Tour heads to the Palmetto state this weekend. The historic paper-clipped shaped half mile track bares legendary names such as Pearson and Earnhardt and could be an unfamiliar place for many on the CARS Tour. However, the biggest Late Model Stock event each season is held at Martinsville Speedway, a track that has almost exact characteristics to that of Greenville, making two time Martinsville 300 winner Tommy Lemons Jr. an instant threat. Chase Purdy, who has struggled on the CARS Tour circuit but leads Greenville-Pickens points, could get his opportunity to shine at his Hawk-McCall Motorsports’ team home track. On the Super Late Model side two familiar faces in Harrison Burton and Kyle Grissom return to action to try and slow down the success of the David Gilliland Racing Toyota’s who have won the tour’s last two events. Series point leader, Raphael Lessard, will have a veteran teammate in the form of Anthony Anders, the 2014 NASCAR All-American Series champion, who hails from Easley and literally has thousands of laps around the paper-clip shaped track.
