FASTRAK DOUBLEHEADER RESULTS - FRIENDSHIP 7/24 & WYTHE 7/25
NIGHT-1
ROYCE BRAY CRUISES TO FRIENDSHIP WIN
Elkins, NC (July24) FASTRAK visited Friendship Speedway for the first of a two night North Carolina/Virginia doubleheader and fans watched Royce Bray sweep fast time, then win the 40 lap feature from the pole. The clean sweep closed up the points race for the FASTRAK Touring Pros, with Owen Osteen remaining on top by only6 points over the hard charging Royce Bray. David Smith fell to third, only 8 points from Osteen and Lee Cooper closed the Top-4 spread to only 15 points.
The first green flag start saw the #23 of Tom Roberts get up-side-down at the flag stand after contact with the turn 4 wall. Robert’s was fine, but the car was damaged and could not return. After the fuel spill was burned off the front stretch, racing was single fill with a few cautions for spinning cars the rest of the way.
In victory lane Bray praised the car and fans. “I had a great car for the conditions and I have to thank the fans for their support.”
Finishing behind Bray were, Donald Brasher, Lee Cooper, Brian Conner and Kent Peckman rounding out the Top-5.

NIGHT-2
WYTHE RACEWAY SEES SHANNON BUCKINGHAM IN VICTORY LANE
Rural Retreat, VA (July 25th) The stars and cars of the FASTRAK Racing Series really put on a show at Wythe Raceway on Saturday night. Mother Nature slowed the evening’s main event, but she could not deter the famous Wythe Raceway crowd, as nearly 1000 sat out the delay. The fans that stayed, enjoyed 2-4-1 hot dogs & burgers from compliments of Wythe Speedway owner, Fred Brown, plus an autograph session with many of the top FASTRAK drivers.
When the action restarted, they watched Shannon Buckingham of Morristown, TN take the Rusty Wallace Toyota sponsored car to victory lane and hold the $3000 check high over head.
The extra water Mother Nature put on the track worked well for the drivers in the end, but really thinned out the 2500 plus fans, when it rolled in, just after 9 PM. Behind Buckingham would be a wild battle for all 40 laps that saw Brandon Umberger go second in front of Lee Cooper. They were followed by David Smith and Donald Bradsher to round out the top 5. Chris Steele and Hunter Peacock put on a show as they came for 18th and 16th respectively, to finish with Steele 6th and Peacock 7th. The top-10 had point’s leader Owen Osteen in 8th, Bobby Mays 9th and Vic Chandler in 10th.
Next week FASTRAK travels to New Weston, OH for the 2nd Annual FASTRAK “Chassis Challenge” at Tony Stewart’s Eldora Speedway.
