Harris Smooth Sailing at Hampton
With the large mighty ships of the Hampton Roads ports all around the area Jerald Harris showed how to set sail going to the front and on to win at Langley Speedway for two in a row. Heats kicked off the night with Matt Mullins and Jerald Harris taking wins. The feature was paced to green by Aaron Leach and Jimmy Humblet on the front row with Leach out first Humblet behind. Early on watching Jerald Harris working the highline you could see he was coming to the front as he passed a car lap after lap getting second and chasing down Leach. Caleb Harris was racing with Humblet and Matt Mullins for third with Harris moving to third leaving Humblet to fight for fourth with Mullins getting by casing Harris. On lap sixteen Jerald Harris made another outside move to take the lead and inched away. Traffic was part of the final laps leaving Jerald Harris his preferred high line and Leach no room to make a final charge as Harris took the win his second in a row at Langley after winning in July. At the line it was Jerald Harris, Aaron Leach, Caleb Harris, Matt Mullins, Jimmy Humblet, Billy Hubbard, Bill Mullis, Matthew Leach, Daren Bolac, Jacob Woods, John Smith, Chris Ware and Chris Humblet. |
