Hampton native Connor Hall added two more notches to his recent Langley Speedway domination, winning both 50-lap Late Model features Saturday night.
Hall, a Hampton native who was able to compete at Langley because it was an off weekend for the CARS Tour, took the No. 77 car to Victory Lane in the opener, 1.171 seconds ahead of Woody Howard and 1.662 better than third-place Mark Wertz. The trio finished in just less than 21 minutes, and 14 of the 21 competitors ended on the lead lap.
In the second 50-lap race, Cole Bruce took second, Danny Edwards third and Dean Shiflett — who wasn’t in the opener — fourth. It was Hall’s sixth triumph of the season; he won the CARS Tour feature at Langley the previous weekend.
Points leader Greg Edwards was sixth in the first race and ninth in the second.
Super Truck: Chris McEvoy rolled to a 25-lap victory in just more than 12 minutes, outpacing Tim Carter by 0.439 of a second. Louis Pasderetz Sr. was third, 644-thousandths behind the victor.
It was a rough night for points leader Chase McAdams, who finished last among the field of 10.
Enduro: Alex Floroff and Zachary Herdlein dueled to the checkered flag on the 30th lap, with Floroff prevailing by 26-thousandths of a second after just more than 10 1/2 minutes.
Wendell White was third among 23 drivers, 8.845 seconds behind Floroff, who gained his division-leading third victory of 2024. Ryan Vinson, by far his closest rival in points, was fourth.
Grand Stock: Tim Wilson posted his second victory of the year, beating runner-up Bill Eaker by 2.022 seconds and third-place Paul Lubno by 3.034 and not quite 13 minutes.
Eight drivers started the 40-lap race, and only those three finished on the lead lap.
Virginia Racers: Ayden Millette earned a 50-lap triumph in more than 15 minutes, overcoming Jacob Derrick by 1.626 seconds and third-place Ryley Music, the standings leader, by 2.474. Music was 11th and 18th in the Late Model features.
Ten of the 15 starters finished on the lead lap.
Champ Kart: Ryan Hudgins slipped past Jordan Valdes by 50-thousandths of a second after they pulled away from the other five competitors in the 20-lap race.
Their duel took less than 7 1/2 minutes, and Hudgins equaled Valdes with his second triumph of the season. They are in close competition for the points lead.
Jimmy Carr was third, 12.310 seconds off the lead.
