John Scarborough by a Nose in Photo Finish
The Hub city raceway was in great shape on the first hot humid night of the season with John Scarborough being the hottest but by only a few feet for the closest finish of the year so far. Heats kicked off the night with Scarborough and Andrew Boyer taking wins before it was off to the feature. John Scarborough and Tylor Cochran paced the field to green with Scarborough shot out like a jet trying to get away with Reed Thompson, Cochran, Scott Lutz and Donnie Hindershot chasing. Everything was going Scarborough’s way until a caution for a slowing car bunched the field up. On the restart Scarborough tried to get away again but Cochran found his grove and stayed close this time as Hendershot made his way to third. With two to go Cochran was on a charge and was right there as the white waved. Coming to the checkered flag on the bottom groove Cochran inched ahead with Scarborough still up high but at the line he was able to use the momentum to streak back by Cochran and win by inches. At the line it was John Scarborough, Tylor Cochran, Donny Hendershot, Reed Thompson, Scott Lutz, Fred Arnold, Jerrett Cavalet, Logan Jones, Ryan Lynn, Andrew Boyer, Jerald Harris, Daren Bolac, Chris Ware, Caleb Harris, Dylan Shatzer, Mikell McGee, Chris Humblet, Eric Hendershot and Bill Rice. Next Week the Virginia Sprint Series heads back to Natural Bridge Speedway on Saturday night May 28th
