Blast Off for Moyac Missile
Natural Bridge Speedway located in the Blue Ridge Mountains saw the Moyac Missile Daren Bolac blast off and take the win Saturday night. This race was a special feature only event as part of the Tommy Bare memorial race weekend. After a rain delay held up the feature Matthew Leach and Daren Bolac paced the field to green with Bolac out first on the lightning-fast track. Bolac was trying to take off but Dylan Shatzer and Jerald Harris broke away first to try to run him down. The trio was flying around inching away from the rest of the pack until half-way when Shatzer went too high in turn three and four going over the bank ending his challenge. At the restart Bolac and Harris took off with Matt Mullins now in third with the laps running down. Harris had closed a few times trying different lines and with the rear of the field coming up had another chance to make a charge. With one lap to go going in to turn three Harris went low as Bolac stayed high they were side by side going under the waving checkered flag Daren Bolac went on to win by .055 seconds over Jerald Harris. At the line it was Daren Bolac, Jerald Harris, Matt Mullins, Matthew Leach, Caleb Harris, Chris Ware, Aaron Leach, John Smith and Dylan Shatzer. |
